Weekly national charts, as the trade papers printed them
This chart comes from the chart file, not from a page. The scans supplied don’t include the issue dated December 24, 1994, so its ranks, titles, artists and LAST WEEK figures come from the owner’s 1980-2009 Hot 100 chart file, which agrees with the pages either side: the next page’s LAST WEEK column names the same ranks. 2 WKS AGO and WKS ON CHART follow the pages’ own count, and each label is the one the pages print for the record. The bullets and the Hot Shot Debut are inferred from the chart’s movement, by the rule the archive uses for 1958-1979: a record is bulleted when it is new, re-entering, up on last week, or at last week’s rank for the second week running, unless it stood higher earlier in the same run; and a record that has peaked and moves up three places or fewer gets no bullet when it has none in the two weeks before and the two weeks after.
