Thanks for posting this chart. I like this chart as well. It just feels like Lorde and Katy Perry deserve to be in the top 10 for the year, and they shouldn't be punished for their songs charting later in the year. That's why I like the calendar year chart, minus the recurrent airplay as well. The year-end chart mimics the year-end charts of the 1980's as well, where songs that charted late in the year had about as good a chance to chart high on the year-end chart as songs that charted earlier in the year. But it's nice to get a good perspective from the various ways these charts are complied.
