Jan-Dec R&B Charts Year End 1970-1994

[Private Dancer]

I got inspiration from mikerivera who is doing a fantastic job with the pop Jan-Dec year ends. I am deciding to do one for R&B. The concept is the same as the pop one. I am doing the charts as if the YE was the Jan-Dec, instead of the ever-changing cut off date BB uses. I am going to do every year of the 80s and eventually I will get around to 60-70, and 90s-2020s.

Can we start with 2004, the greatest year in R&B music history?

I'm trying to find a way to post the 80s first, but yes I will get to 2004.

[Private Dancer]

Looks like I will have to put on here manually. I will post 1980 either tonight or sometime tommorrow.

Are you using an inverse formula for all the charts, or just for the pre-SoundScan years? Also, is that inverse the one Billboard used, or one you’ve created?

Similar to the kind you use...not the inverse where #1 equals 100, but one that would make it more accurate. It should make sense when I post tomorrow.

And for all the charts since 60s-90s, they hid the data.

So excited to see this being done 😁.

Me too. Is this the first thread doing this for a “genre” chart? Because I would love to see it done with basically all of them.

Thanks for this Private Dancer !

I'm not sure , other than the billboard year end list of past decades/points for #1 of the 00s. I don't think the genre chart has been done before.

Does anyone else find it crazy how Queen landed a #2 song and made it to #15 on R&B?

I’m more shocked it made the R&B charts at all. I know it uses a disco beat, but I’ve always thought of it as a rock song

I thought of it as a rock song as well. Imagine turning on R&B radio and hearing AOBTD playing. LoL!

I love Diana Ross, but even I have to admit that Give It to Me Baby is a better song than Endless Love. Besides those two, the only other song that aged well is Luther’s Never Too Much (another great song). Also, nice to see Stacy’s cover of Love on a Two Way Street sneak into the Top 20.

Sucks that Square Biz made the list, but not Portuguese Love. I can’t remember the last time I heard Square Biz, but I know my R&B station played PL at least 3 times this past week, and that is by far Teena’s best ever.

That strange. My local oldies R&B station plays Square Biz all the time. Also, speaking of aging well, I'd say Smokey's Being With You has definitely aged well. It sounds like the first listen everytime you listen to it and yes Give It To Me Baby is a better song than Endless Love.

Daryl Hall has some soul in his voice. Hall & Oates are one of those bands that did have multiple songs to crossover to R&B

[Private Dancer]

'83 is finished, but I may be taking a break cause this can get tedious.

[Private Dancer]

Here is the 1983 list: My favorite songs from this list is Save The Overtime, Ain't Nobody, She Works Hard For The Money, Sexual Healing and the extremely underrated I Need You by the Pointer Sisters. Overall, and ok year, not to shabby. Get It Right is also my favorite from this list and was my most played song for 2021

3 DeBarge songs made the list, but not the one that was used in Ashanti’s 10-week #1. Did Stay With Me get caught between years or will it make 1984?

Stay with me was never release as a single

[Private Dancer]

1984 coming soon

[Private Dancer]

Here is the 1984 list. As you can see this is one of the most iconic year for pop and R&B! Pointer Sisters came back in full force, Tina's comeback, high movies such as Footlose and Ghostbusters. Chaka Khan and Purple Rain/Prince. 1984 just had good energy and everyone was having a good time. One thing to note is how we have almost the entire Jackson siblings on the YE. One of the most unexpected crossovers was Culture Club's Miss Me Blind. Shoutout to Prince for having topped the pop & R&B year end
