AUTHOR’S NOTE
In 1970, I published my first book. It was a compilation of my longtime research
of Billboard magazine’s pop singles charts. I titled this 208-page, staple-stitched
softcover Record Research—a name that fit so well that I incorporated it several
months later. That first edition not only inspired a business but 150 more books,
including a 1,344-page, hardcover twelfth edition now entitled Top Pop Singles.
My first book caught on as a tool for disc jockeys and music professionals, and
then with record collectors the world over. My small business was able to deliver
to this select market. As Top Pop Singles grew in popularity, it became evident
that a more limited edition of my research would appeal to a larger base of music
fans, which we did not have the means to reach.
I approached Billboard’s book division, Watson-Guptill Publications, about
creating a “spin-off” version that would go where no other Record Research
book had gone before—bookstores. Whereas my Top Pop Singles book covered
every song and artist that hit the Hot 100 chart, in great detail, I proposed a book
covering those that hit the Top 40 of the Hot 100, the songs and artists heard
most frequently on the radio. Jules Perel, then president of Watson-Guptill, came
to Wisconsin to meet me and see if there was any merit to my proposal. It took
some convincing for this publisher of art books to take a chance on a new
venture—a mass market music reference book.
In 1983, I flew to New York for the publication of the first edition of The
Billboard Book Of Top 40 Hits. To celebrate, I was invited to dinner by Mr.
Perel and Mr. W.D. Littleford, the grandson of the founder of Billboard, who
began working there in 1934 and was now the president of Billboard! I had seen
his name on his magazine’s masthead for decades and now we were strolling
down Broadway—quite a thrill for a record collector from Wisconsin! Mr.
Littleford picked up a copy of the New York Times and read, to our amazement,
that the book was at #6 on the bestsellers list!
This is our ninth edition—proof that America’s Top 40 hits still have great
appeal! And this book spans the breadth of pop music, from Joan Weber’s “Let
Me Go Lover,” the first #1 hit in 1955, to the Black Eyed Peas’ amazing
achievement of holding the #1 spot on the Hot 100 for twenty-six consecutive
weeks! If you’re a trivia buff, this book could be the highlight of your next gettogether with family and friends. For instance, what were Sam The Sham & The
Pharaohs two Top 10 gold hits? Name the teen idol who was married to Nancy
Sinatra and whose mother was a big band vocalist. What female singer from
Australia had her only Top 40 hit go platinum in 1978 with her version of a Bee
Gees’ song? Name the famous jazz keyboardist who wrote Mongo Santamaria’s
hit “Watermelon Man”? Which former cast member of TV’s Saturday Night
Live had a seasonal hit with “The Chanukah Song”? And these are just a few
teasers from a two-page spread in this book.
My hope is that you’ll have fun as you browse through the thousands of songs
and artists that had the most success on the national charts in the past fifty-five
years. You may find yourself thinking, “Wow, I forgot about that artist,” or “I
haven’t heard that song in twenty years!” You will certainly further your
expertise about who recorded what and when, and from where. So, enjoy your
trip down memory lane, and, if you feel inspired to go beyond the Top 40, then
stroll over to my website www.recordresearch.com where you’ll find plenty of
more music research books to satisfy every top music expert in your
neighborhood.

RESEARCHING THE CHARTS
This book features America’s most popular songs and artists from the beginning
of the rock era through June 2009. It is an abridged version of Joel Whitburn’s
Top Pop Singles book, which includes all of the songs and artists that hit
Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. In the pages ahead, you’ll rediscover the biggest-selling
and most-played hits and recording artists on pop radio from New York to Los
Angeles.
The research of Top 40 Hits begins with 1955—the year rock ‘n’ roll scored its
first mainstream success with the chart-topping hit “Rock Around The Clock”
by Bill Haley & His Comets. At that time, Billboard magazine published three
main pop singles charts: Best Sellers In Stores, Most Played By Jockeys, and Most
Played In Juke Boxes. The research begins with the issue of Billboard dated
January 1, 1955, and includes all hits within the Top 40 on the above-mentioned
charts, even if they first charted in 1954. In November of 1955, Billboard
introduced their first 100-position chart, The Top 100. These four charts
reported on different aspects of the sales and radio airplay of the hottest singles.
Each of these charts are researched in order to impart an intricate picture of
popular music of the mid-1950s.
August 4, 1958, marked the first issue of Billboard to feature the Hot 100 chart. It
was Billboard’s first chart to fully integrate the hottest-selling and most-played
singles. Ever since, the Hot 100 has stood the test of time as the premiere
monitor of the most popular songs in America each week. All songs to make the
first forty positions of this 100-position ranking through June of 2009 constitute
the bulk of this book.
For the Hot 100’s first four decades, an essential qualification for a song’s
placement on the chart was its commercial availability in America as a single. The
record industry’s practice of releasing singles commercially declined dramatically
in the 1990s. More and more radio hits were ineligible to chart on the Hot 100,
as they were never released as singles. The Hot 100 Airplay chart that Billboard
created in 1984 became a valued accompaniment to the Hot 100 chart in
providing a thorough picture of each week’s biggest hits. For this reason, all Top
40 hits of Billboard’s Hot 100 Airplay chart that did not appear on the Hot 100
chart are included. Billboard made major adjustments to the compilation of their
Hot 100 in order to keep pace with a rapidly changing music marketplace. On
December 5, 1998, Billboard debuted a completely revised Hot 100 that
included, for the first time, songs that were not commercially available in
America as singles.
All chart data within Top 40 Hits are related to the charts listed below. The
beginning dates researched are also the debut dates of most charts, with the
exception of Best Sellers, Jockeys, and Juke Box charts, all of which debuted
prior to 1955. As “# of Positions” indicates, the size of certain charts varied from
week to week.

For songs that hit the Top 40 on more than one of the 1950s charts, their chartby-chart breakdowns are listed to the right of these titles.
MULTIPLE POP CHARTS 1955–1958
The single’s date (DATE) is taken from the chart on which it first entered the
Top 40 if it hit in the Top 40 on more than one of the following charts published
from 1955–58: Best Sellers In Stores, Most Played By Jockeys, Most Played In
Juke Boxes, The Top 100 or Hot 100. The date shown is Billboard’s actual issue
date, and is not taken from the “week ending” dates as shown on the various
charts when they were originally published. (The issue and week ending dates
were different until January 13, 1962, when Billboard began using one date
system for both the issue and the charts inside.)
The single’s highest position (POS) is taken from the chart on which it achieved
its highest ranking.
The single’s weeks in Top 40 (WKS) and weeks at positions #1 or #2 are taken
from the chart on which it achieved its highest total.
HOT 100 AIRPLAY CHARTS 1984–1998
The data used to compile each week’s Hot 100 chart is also used to compile the
weekly Hot 100 Airplay charts. The early Airplay chart was compiled from the
most-played songs based on radio station playlists. From June 8, 1991 through
November 23, 1991, the Airplay charts were not compiled from the same data as
the Hot 100. During that period Billboard began compiling the Airplay charts
from data provided by BDS and SoundScan. As of November 30, 1991, Billboard
also began compiling the Hot 100 via BDS and SoundScan; the charts were once
again directly related.
The songs that hit the Airplay charts but did not hit the Hot 100 are denoted by
the superscript letters “A” (Airplay chart) in the peak position (POS) column. If a
song peaked at #1, #2, or #3, the total weeks charted at #1, #2, or #3 are
shown in parentheses after the peak position.
As mentioned previously, Billboard revamped the Hot 100 on December 5,
1998, and included, for the first time, songs that were not commercially available
in America as singles.

Top Hit
Gold
Platinum
Digital Gold
Digital Platinum
The only source we use to designate gold and platinum singles
is the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA),
which began certifying gold singles in 1958 and platinum
singles in 1976. Prior to 1958, record labels awarded their
own gold record awards, which led to some dubious sales
claims. In fact, this practice helped lead to the creation of the
RIAA and its auditing system. The RIAA program requires
active participation from the various record labels. Some
labels (such as Motown) never requested certification for
some of their biggest hits and artists. Also, any label can
request certification on any title under the current standards,
no matter how old. This is why songs by artists such as Elvis
Presley can be certified platinum, even though their big hits
were prior to 1976. Below is a detailed list of the various
certification
levels:
Physical Vinyl, Cassette, and Compact Disc Sales
Sales of 1,000,000 (1958–88). Sales of 500,000 (1989–
present)
Sales of 2,000,000 (1976–88). Sales of 1,000,000 (1989–
present)
Each additional level of one million units is designated with a
superscript number.
Digital Downloads
Sales of 500,000
Sales of 1,000,000
Each additional level of one million units is designated with a
superscript number.
/ Divides a two-sided hit. Complete chart data (date, peak
position, etc.) is shown for both sides if each side achieved its
own peak position. If a title was shown only as the B-side
(never achieved its own peak position), then only the debut
date and the weeks it charted as a “tag along” are listed.
When listing chart data to the right of a title (see Peak
Position Designations below), “flip” is listed as the peak
position for “tag-along” hits.
* Indicates the weeks charted data is subject to change since
the song was still charted as of the 10/31/2009 cut-off date.
PEAK POSITION DESIGNATIONS
As mentioned previously, before the debut of the Hot 100
chart on August 4, 1958, Billboard published four primary
weekly pop singles charts (Most Played By Jockeys, Best Sellers
In Stores, Most Played in Juke Boxes, and The Top 100). The
peak position shown in the “POS” column for the pre-Hot
100 pop singles charts is taken from the chart on which it
achieved its highest position. No letter designation for the
peak’s particular chart appears in the “POS” column. The
individual peak positions attained on these four pre-Hot 100
pop singles charts are listed to the right of the title, preceded
by:
Jockey: Most Played By Jockeys
Best Seller: Best Sellers In Stores
Juke Box: Most Played In Juke Boxes
Top 100: The Top 100
Hot 100: Hot 100 (used during transition to the Hot 100
chart)

JAN & DEAN
Surf-rock male vocal duo from Los Angeles, California: Jan
Berry (born on 4/3/1941) and Dean Torrence (born on
3/10/1940). Jan & Dean and Arnie Ginsburg recorded “Jennie
Lee” in Jan’s garage. Dean left for a six-month Army Reserve
stint, whereupon Jan signed with Arwin and released the
record as by Jan & Arnie. Upon Dean’s return from the
service, Arnie (not to be confused with the famed DJ of the
same name) joined the Navy, and Jan & Dean signed with the
Dore label. Dean sang lead on “Barbara Ann” by The Beach
Boys. Jan was critically injured in a car crash on 4/12/1966.
Duo made a comeback in 1978 after their biographical movie
Dead Man’s Curve aired on TV. Jan died of a seizure on
3/26/2004 (age 62).

JEFFERSON AIRPLANE /
STARSHIP
Rock band formed as Jefferson Airplane in San Francisco,
California: Marty Balin and Grace Slick (vocals), Paul Kantner
(vocals, guitar), Jorma Kaukonen (guitar), Jack Casady (bass)
and Spencer Dryden (drums). Group changed name to
Jefferson Starship in 1974: Balin, Slick, Kantner, Craig
Chaquico (guitar), Pete Sears (keyboards), David Freiberg
(bass) and John Barbata (drums). Papa John Creach (violin) sat
in occasionally (he died on 2/22/1994, age 76). Slick left group
from June 1978 to January 1981. Balin and Barbata left in
1979, replaced by Mickey Thomas (sang lead on Elvin Bishop’s
“Fooled Around And Fell In Love”) and Aynsley Dunbar
(former drummer for Frank Zappa). Dunbar left in early
1982, replaced by Don Baldwin. Kantner left in late 1984 and,
due to legal difficulties, band’s name was shortened to
Starship, whose lineup included Slick, Thomas, Sears,
Chaquico and Baldwin. Slick left in early 1988. Continuing as
Starship were Thomas, Chaquico, Baldwin, Brett Bloomfield
(bass) and Mark Morgan (keyboards). Starship disbanded in
1990.
