Help with Billboard Chart Info

[jdelachjr2002]

Hello,

I'm working on a long-term project with some help necessary. I'm looking to compile the Top 40 songs from Billboard's Hot 100 week-by-week and other noteworthy rankings from the same magazine. For starters, I'm looking for the week-by-week chart placements for Aaliyah. Here are the songs in question:

Thank you, Vince. 1 down, 2 to go. Btw in addition to the Hot 100 charts, I'm looking for weekly chart info for the following Billboard charts: Top 40 Mainstream (Radio & Records Top 40); Adult Contemporary (R&R); Country (R&R); Hot 100 Airplay; Hot AC (R&R). I'd like to trace the beginnings up to at least 1955 (or whenever these charts began). If anybody wants to help contribute, please send me a PM or e-mail.

OK, I need some help:

1. I was wondering if anybody has a copy of "Billboard Pop Charts 1955-1959"? If so, can you please let me know what the entire "Best Sellers", "Jockeys" and "Juke Box" charts were for 7/9/1955? I know "Rock Around the Clock" was #1 on the Best Sellers chart. Also does anybody know if the book started with 7/9/1955 or 1/1/1955?

2. I need some help on the Billboard Top 40 chart runs for these Paula Abdul songs:

OK. I need some help here. I'm looking for the Billboard chart positions for Ace Of Base. My Top 40 hits book from 1955-2000 lists 7 songs that charted in the Top 40. I'll start with the first three songs since they had long chart lives. I'll get to the other four songs later:
