I have to give major thanks to both Joel Whitburn and Hanboo (UKMix) for providing some of the initial data of which I further investigated and corrected accordingly. B-sides are tabulated only if they charted separately. As we progress to 1969, 1979, 1989 etc., the pre-Hot 100 data will only be side-referenced if it still maintains the overall rock-era chart record. I understand that Billboard favors the Hot 100's inception as a beginning, but I will present data from Best Sellers In Stores (BS), Most Played By Jockeys (DJ) and Most Played In Juke Boxes (JB) in addition to the Top 100 and Hot 100 data. For all research purposes, Januwill be the starting point when referencing singles and Mawill be used for albums. In this thread, I will be creating a progressive timeline of Billboard's chart records in the rock era, starting with 1955 and using decade-ends as cut off markers.
