Awesome book! I'm so happy to finally have a book covering all of the Radio & Records CHR charts. The site has been a handy reference for many years, but it doesn't feel "definitive" until Joel and Paul put it in print. :)

Thanks you, Aaron. Putting this book together was one of
my favorite projects!

I'm anxiously awaiting my copy, so I'm glad to hear that others
have received theirs so I know mine is on its way. :)

I got my copy a few days ago, haven't had a chance to really go through it yet, but from what I've seen, I love it. Paul, I can see this book being one of your favorite projects! I've always loved the R&R charts; and although I had some notebook I bought from them that compiled their charted hits, having this official book is much better.

had the exact same charts.


How does Billboard's "Pop Songs" chart (available online but not in the magazine) differ from their "Mainstream Top 40" chart (available in the magazine but not online)? I know the "Mainstream Top 40" chart has only 30 songs (ironically), not 40 like "Pop songs". But are they tabulated differently? And if so, how? (and have they always been?) It's odd if this is the same chart but titled differently depending on online vs. magazine!

I believe that THAT is actually the case, though. I
can't say for certain,however, as I don't ever look at
the published magazine. Just online. Likewise, I
believe that the online "Adult Pop Songs" chart is still
referred to as "Adult Top 40" in the magazine.

Yes, same chart, different names.

The "Mainstream Top 40" chart IS 40 titles deep, not 30. They curtail it on the
magazine for reasons of space. The chart is called "Pop Songs" online as that
has a punchier and better branded name to use in all of their Chartbeat
columns. On Billboard.biz and the magazine, it is Mainstream Top 40 as
apparently that is the source used by Music Professionals who work in the
business (and the radio format, Mainstream Top 40), who wouldn't know what
"Pop Songs" really alludes to.

Hmmm... I think this calls for a new Record Research book, "Billboard Top Pop Radio Airplay", going back to whenever BB started their separate pop radio airplay charts. Mid 80's? (Thus, a BB parallel to the new Radio & Records book, with potentially many more records/chart positions, and continuing into the future.)

Because today's Hot 100 is not a pop radio format chart, it's an "every-format-squashed-together" chart.

Wink wink, nudge nudge... Groovy baby, yeah!

Who's with me? Thanks Paul, if...
