Actually this is the case for todays CHR chart as well, an at least ONE reason why AT40 no longer does a Top 100. Becuz songs were being played at the bottom of the Top 100 year end chart that had never been played on AT40 (never reached the Top40). No doubt due to the fact that AT40 now-adays doesnt seem to have a recurrent rule so some songs can spend a year on the show. Yeah, I remember that, in 2006, "Ever The Same" by Rob Thomas never hit the AT40 chart, yet managed to snag itself a spot on the year-ender. That one didn't surprise me, however, as it had spent a long time in the lower reaches of the CHR/Pop chart and must have been very close to the Top 40. The real corkers on that year end chart (IMO, anyway) were the fact that "Listen To Your Heart" by DHT kicked off the show even though it had spent but a single week on the chart (at #40, no less) within 2006. I have no idea what the time frame of the chart year was, but I'd heard that they used no stats from December, 2005. The weirdest thing, however, is that "Mr. Brightside" had made the chart, even though it had dropped out in October, 2005, never to return. It must have spent an awfully long time right outside the Top 40 in early 2006. Barring a statistical error, that's the only logical explanation. "21 Guns" by Green Day made the AT40 year end countdown in 2009 even though it never made the regular weekly chart. It was heard once as a "Breakout", though, so it must have gotten extremely close. These sort of occurrences are unlikely to recur under AT40's current policy of broadcasting only the year end top 40. It also seemed to me that the 2012 year end countdown confined its points to a fixed period; I though that songs that debuted in 2011 were somewhat docked in points, as well as those that carried over into 2013. |

So, I'm a little ticked at Billboard. A lot of their 1995 issues are up on Google Books (I'm inclined to think they all are from '95, actually), and I've been looking at the Mainstream Top 40 charts just to see how they compare with R&R's of the time. Or at least, I was...until they abruptly decided to stop publishing the chart in the magazine, effective with the May 27 issue. From what I can see, there was no announcement of it or anything - they just decided to stop putting it in there. What the hell did they do that for??  That was probably because it was being published in the Top 40 Airplay Monitor magazine (sorry don't remember if that was the exact title) and they decided to stop publishing it in both. They had already moved the playlists over to "Monitor" as those used to appear in Billboard for many years too. When Billboard split the AC chart into AC and Adult Top 40 in early 1996, they also abbreviated the listings for those charts in the regular Billboard magazine as well, showing only the top 25 of each chart, while the full chart appeared in the Airplay Monitor magazine. So, in short, the reason for it was to reduce duplication and get people to spend more money on Billboard publications.  |

They wanted you to subscribe to their sister publication that published those charts. It worked for me for a while. I dumped BB for the sister publication (Radio Monitor) which had the top 40/AC/HAC charts in it. |

...Oh. Well, I still think some kind of notice even in the main magazine would have been nice.  Unless it was in one of the issues and I just missed it. When did they move it back to the main magazine? |

When did they move it back to the main magazine? I'm not sure. I haven't subscribed in a long time. I know the Monitor magazines became Radio & Records after Billboard bought them out in 2006, but then the magazine was shut down. |

And it was a few months after the old run of American Top 40 with Shadoe Stevens but withdrawn from the USA Summer 1994 only to be heard in foreign markets ceased. |

Here's the Top 50 songs of 1995 based on Billboard's Top 40/Mainstream chart: To be sure, I assume this is what was listed in the year-end Airplay Monitor in 1995? Along those same lines, did they only publish a Top 50 for 1995? It would be great if that issue were to surface or even any issues from their CHR Airplay Monitor - to date, none of those have surfaced, and the earliest Airplay Monitor on World Radio History is the year-end issue from 1996. (That has a Top 100, as does every subsequent year.) |
