HOT 100SINGLES

100 positions ← 12/29/84 01/12 →

2 WKS AGO agrees with LAST WEEK this week. The week before, 12/29/1984, was the frozen repeat of 12/22/1984 in Billboard’s year-end double issue, so both columns name the 12/22 chart. The page itself printed 2 WKS AGO from the 12/15 chart, skipping the frozen week it counts everywhere else. The archive corrects the column, as Billboard’s pages of the other year-end weeks print it.
