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.

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.

*** With MTV starting on tv, you may have to click the video twice to see the video because a lot more of the newer videos at YT are disabled.***

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.
