1997
A49 Band Aid Band Aid Do They Know It's Christmas

Really?

[Deleted]

I am not sure which version of the song that is (multiple versions were released)

Christmas 1997 this song peaked at #49 as this list says and did not chart on the Hot 100 during 1997

Obviously it charted on the Hot 100 in 1985

[MikeCheck12]

I'm surprised Janet's "And On And On" wasn't listed. It was a B-side with "Anytime, Anyplace" album and got considerable airplay. Since ATAP was released commercially, is that why "And On And On" wouldn't appear here?

[Deleted]

Those 2 songs charted together

[MikeCheck12]

^ Cool, thanks!

Not true. Breakdown wasnt featured on all of the CD singles so it only charted as My All on the Hot 100. And On And On on the other hand WAS on all the singles. So it charted as Any Time, Any Place/And On and On

Heres one of the biggest hits from the 80s that didnt chart on the Hot 100 even though it went top 10 airplay

[jebsib]

I know why Billboard took so long to incorporate airplay-only hits onto the Hot 100; I just wish they had done it two or three years earlier. Its like an entire half-decade's worth of charts is now footnoted.

[atlantaboy]

^A lot of those tracks charted on the Hot 100 - they just had really low peaks cause their sales were factored in as zero (or however Billboard does it)

I guess Billboard went through phases of not allowing them on the Hot 100, then allowing them, then not allowing them again? Or maybe songs like Mr. Jones were available, just not readily available so no one was buying them? Not sure...

[Deleted]

Examples? I want to edit this list to make it accurate if it is not

[atlantaboy]

^I found two conflicting sources - one said Mr. Jones by Counting Crows peaked at #17 on the Hot 100 (b/c the physical single was so rare I guess), and then other said it was ineligible and never charted - not sure where to go to find Hot 100 peaks

[jebsib]

atlantaboy - Mr Jones was ineligible. It reached #5 on Hot 100 airplay the week of 5/14/94.

[ListenToItTwice]

some of the best songs of the decade. This is a classic example of Billboard policy really f825ing up.

Agree with this - although I guess I'm not sure what Billboard could've done - the alternative would be that huge hit songs would have very low peaks

In addition to all these songs, there were a whole lot of other big CHR hits, mostly rock/alternative, that existed as singles, but were extremely rare in stores, so they had very low peaks compared to high Hot 100 Airplay

Personally, I don't think it made sense to have a sales component in the 90s, since only half of the hit music on CHR could be purchased as singles, but I guess the only alternative would've been to dissolve the Hot 100, which wouldn't have made sense either

For me (personally), the integrity of the Hot 100 was saved by I-Tunes

Heres one of the biggest hits from the 80s that didnt chart on the Hot 100 even though it went top 10 airplay

That's not true. It was actually listed as a double A-side to My All. On the R&B Chart it was even Top 20 in airplay. It was also getting airplay at CHR-Rhythmic stations.

Chart performance

It was released as the album's third single in 1998 in the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Australia only (in Europe, "The Roof" was chosen as the third single instead).[2] Because of conflict between Carey and her record label at the time, Sony Music Entertainment, it was only given a commercial release in Australia, where it performed modestly and remained in the top forty for three weeks. A remix of the song was promoted to U.S. radio stations and debuted on Billboard magazine's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart in October 1997, however, it wasn't released commercially in the U.S. until April 1998, as a double A-side with "My All".[2] It reached the top five on the Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart as "My All"/"Breakdown"; however, the song "Breakdown" independently appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart and reached the top twenty on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and Rhythmic Airplay Chart charts.[2] In New Zealand, the song performed well, peaking at number four and being certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ), denoting shipments of over 7,500 units.[10]

Go look at an old Hot 100. My All was the only song listed as #1 on the Hot 100. Breakdown was not listed as being part of the #1. Breakdown was an airplay hit and thats why it is on this list but it was not credited alongside My All. Since it didnt make the Hot 100 its on this list.

The magazine or the website? If anyone has old scans of the magazine, that would be great! I know for a fact breakdown was listed on the Hot R&B Singles list with My All and BB didn't at the time differentiate the two because it was impossible to tell why people were buying the single because of Breakdown or My All. Breakdown actually had more airplay on the R&B charts than My All and more total audience than My All at the time of My All's release. However BB didn't mix the total airplay up at that point in time. I actually bought the actual copy of the BB magazine in the week that My All went to #1 because I Get Lonely debuted at #3 that same week.

I know for a fact that they flat out listed "My All/Breakdown" together on the R&B Chart. As they did other singles that had two songs on them getting airplay.

This is a list of songs that did not chart on the Hot 100 so Breakdown charting on the R&B chart is not relevant to the list

The magazine or the website? If anyone has old scans of the magazine, that would be great! I know for a fact breakdown was listed on the Hot R&B Singles list with My All and BB didn't at the time differentiate the two because it was impossible to tell why people were buying the single because of Breakdown or My All. Breakdown actually had more airplay on the R&B charts than My All and more total audience than My All at the time of My All's release. However BB didn't mix the total airplay up at that point in time. I actually bought the actual copy of the BB magazine in the week that My All went to #1 because I Get Lonely debuted at #3 that same week.

I know for a fact that they flat out listed "My All/Breakdown" together on the R&B Chart. As they did other singles that had two songs on them getting airplay.

I don't think billboard differentiated and Breakdown was still getting airplay at the time of My All's release. I thought they listed it as My All/Breakdown but I can't remember off hand which is why I am not saying without a shadow of a doubt. I do know that on Billboards own site Breakdown is not listed as having charted on any chart at all and I know that to be patently false so....

EDIT:
Apparently BB has My All listed as My All/Breakdown for the R&B Chart and only My All for the HOT 100. My All was a big reason for the BB chart change in late '98.

Don't Speak
Iris
Torn
I'll Be There For You
Fly
Men In Black

would be the bigger reasons actually

I don't think Elton John's "Pinball Wizard" was a single.

It would be interesting to know the digital sales for all (or most) of those airplay-only hits to see which one is leading the pack now.
