What Is Billboard Hot 100?
The Billboard Hot 100 is the United States music industry standard singles popularity chart issued weekly by Billboard Magazine.Chart rankings are based on airplay and sales; the tracking-week for sales begins on Monday and ends on Sunday; while the airplay tracking-week runs from Wednesday to Tuesday. A new chart is compiled and officially released to the public by Billboard on Thursday. Each chart is dated with the "week-ending" date of the following Saturday.
This Is The First Year Of Billboard Hot 100
On August 3, 1958 Billboard Magazine published their brand new music singles popularity chart. It replaced a multiple singles charts which were, the Best Sellers in Stores Chart, the Most Played by Jockeys Chart, and Top 100 (an early version of the Billboard Hot 100). The Best Seller in Stores list charted until October 13, 1958.
How This Will Go
They are listed in order from the beginning of the year to the end. With videos of them singing their songs when possible.I have added a few extras in with the video list below. Commercials, news, who was born then, and other stuff of the year.
Enjoy and leave a message in the guestbook.
Just one more thing, if a link to a video does not work I will replace it with another one in a few days.
