I'm currently entering some old Billboard Charts into my database. These are the Billboard 'Best Selling Popular Albums', both LP's and EP's. From 1954 to 1957 the chart was a Top 15, and I only have the Top 10 of each.
I'm also entering the Billboard Singles chart - the precursor to the well known Hot 100. On this chart I am missing positions 21-30 for 12 June 1948 to 15 Nov 1952 and 21-30 for 29 June 1954 to the end of 1954.
If anybody could help at all - or point me in the right direction - to locate the missing positions that would be appreciated. And yes, before anybody says, I could go to the British Library. And I will almost certainly try that at some point.
Oh - almost forgot - if you help then you can order off the menu, as it where, from whatever is in my chart database or whatever old chart scans you'd like. Within reason. I'm not going to swap the whole database for these, but the albums are worth more than the singles. If you follow me!
My database, as some of you may know, is rather lage and has the full USA 200 LP's (1957-now), USA Singles /Hot 100 (1955-now) and the full UK Singles charts and album charts - even the Top 200's. Also Compilation charts etc.
Do move this if its in the wrong place.
Thanks in advance.
