Billboard Notes: 2024-03-14
Mar. 14th, 2024 04:21 pmI've noticed errors on the Billboard Hot 100 charts over the years, usually related to typos in the artist or song name.
However, the recent weeks I've been enjoying from 1977 skip an entry.
January 1, 1977: Missing # 19
January 8, 1977: Missing # 17
January 15, 1977: Missing # 15
My theory is that an unspecified song is somehow missing from their internal database. I informed Alex Vitoulis, the Associate Director Charts Production Manager at Billboard. He claims he'll look into it.
I found out (through top40weekly.com) that the missing song is Somebody to Love by Queen. Why is it missing? Who knows!
I had found a previous mistake from March 12, 1960 which had two #26s and no #29. Maybe Alex will solve that problem too!
Where are the proofreaders??
