I lost the link to the site that had Radio and Record Chart Data-Not the charts but the peak and weeks data for songs that hit the Radio and Records equivalent of the Top 40. Really appreciate having that link once again. I remember that the link appeared in an old posting to this site while it was Bravenet and possibly the provider before Bravenet.
Thanks for any help you may be able to give me.
John

As we know, Radio & Records launched in October, 1973. Its first charts were dated September 28th. It had a Pop/CHR chart from the get-go, but it took 13 to 14 months for the chart to settle into a consistent depth. One week we would see a top 24, the next week a top 20, then a top 23, etc. Graham Hunt at the University of Texas-Arlington was the first person to compile the data online, artist by artist. He created a separate page, complete with a line graph, for each song's chart run. Focusing on 1973 and 1974, I used those pages, as well as WorldRadioHistory.com's issue reprints, to cobble together an unofficial breakdown of the week-to-week changes in the depth of the chart: | 9/28/73 thru 2/1/74 | Top 20 | | 2/8/74 | Top 23 | | 2/15/74 | Top 24 | | 2/22/74 | Top 20 | | 3/1/74 | Top 23 | | 3/8/74 | Top 24 | | 3/15/74 | Top 20 | | 3/22/74 | Top 22 | | 3/29/74 | Top 20 | | 4/5/74 | Top 24 | | 4/12/74 | Top 20 | | 4/19/74 | Top 23 | | 4/26/74 | Top 22 | | 5/3/74 | Top 27 | | 5/10/74 | Top 25 | | 5/17/74 | Top 24 | | 5/24/74 | Top 24 | | 5/31/74 | Top 25 | | 6/7/74 | Top 26 | | 6/14/74 | Top 24 | | 6/21/74 | Top 25 | | 6/28/74 | Top 25 | | 7/5/74 | Top 29 | | 7/12/74 | Top 30 | | 7/19/74 | Top 29 | | 7/26/74 | Top 30 | | 8/2/74 | Top 29 | | 8/9/74 | Top 29 | | 8/16/74 thru 11/15/74 | Top 30 | | 11/22/74 thru 10/8/76 | Top 40 | | 10/15/76 thru 6/3/83 | Top 30 | | 6/10/83 thru 5/5/95 | Top 40 | | 5/12/95 thru 8/4/06 | Top 50 | | 8/11/06 thru 6/5/09 | Top 40 |
