What a fascinating “alternate reality” you’ve created with your every-week-new-#1 charts. It’d be interesting to see how low on the charts you’d have to dip in the ‘90s and beyond as songs began spending between 13 and 19 weeks at the top!

What a fascinating “alternate reality” you’ve created with your every-week-new-#1 charts. It’d be interesting to see how low on the charts you’d have to dip in the ‘90s and beyond as songs began spending between 13 and 19 weeks at the top!
I’ve always been fascinated by the concept of rapid turnover at the top. To me the best Hot 100 representation of that would’ve been 1977, when there were like 21 new No. 1 records by that July, only to have the charts slow to a crawl during the second half when songs by Andy Gibb, the Emotions, and Debby Boone combined for 19 weeks. I’d be curious as to what your alternative charts looked like that year.

The charts were a case of “Blurred Lines” back then. Billboard rectified it by revamping the chart in 1965 after a 16-month hiatus.
