FOR WEEK ENDING JANUARY 3, 1987

HOT 100SINGLES

100 positions ← 12/27/86 01/10 →

Billboard printed no chart dated January 3, 1987. Its year-end double issue covers the weeks of 12/27/1986 and 1/3/1987 and carries one Hot 100 for both, so this week is the 12/27 chart standing a second week — every rank, bullet and label as printed there, with LAST WEEK, 2 WKS AGO and WKS ON CHART moved on by one. Billboard’s own chart history counts the frozen week the same way: the 1/10/1987 issue’s LAST WEEK column points at it, and weeks on chart and weeks at No. 1 both include it.
