I hope somebody can help me with this. Back on August 25, 2005(yes I know almost 3 years ago), an Administrator of this board named "KikiMets" answered a question I had about finding the link to the R&R Chart Archive Site. This site lists all of the artists that placed a hit on the R&R Chart since its inception in 1973 until the present. The link provided to me was: www2.uta/edu/hunt/charts/chart.htmlNow here is the strange part. I clicked on this site about a month ago and it was active. I just clicked on it tonight and it "can't be found". If anyone knows the reason for this, or possibly the link has changed to what I am referring to, please provide me with the link. Thanks.

I use that link probably more than any other when researching stuff here... a debt of gratitude owed to Duckhead for sure!

Er...actually, chartboy is the owner of this site. ;) Duckhead, however, does run a different site archiving R&R chart data among other things (the URL escapes me, at the moment).

But yeah, mine is exclusively based on Radio and records until recently when I went with Mediabase, whereas I think Duckhead has used Mediabase all the way through.

Yes! American Radio History is great! It helped me create the following, which some of you may have seen in the Alternative thread:
For those of you who have been around here long enough to remember my CHR/Pop compendium from last decade, where I used R&R's "New & Active" section to figure out an approximate peak position for the 51-100 span, after Billboard's drastic changes to the Hot 100 in the early '90s, I now have done a similar thing for the Alt charts. I had to bounce back and forth between Billboard and R&R for various reasons; and then of course went Billboard-only when R&R ceased to exist in 2009. In 2015 I started keeping track of Mediabase, and since they have a Top 50, that has given me more titles than Billboard's Top 40. Anyway, if you would like a PDF copy, message me with an email address to send it to.
2020 Update
A fellow boarder alerted me to several big chunks of Mediabase data which had been posted here, and I have now included that, along with extrapolating extra information out of his list of songs which made the Mediabase Top 50 but not Billboard's Top 40. Finally, I grabbed some additional chart data from the ARH site from CMJ and The Hard Report issues, to add some songs from '87 and the rest of '88.

www.edisonresearch.com/the_end_of_rr_some_personal_thoughtsThe End Of R&R: Some Personal ThoughtsJune 4, 2009/87 Comments by Sean Ross You’re up to your elbows in Radio & Records tributes already, and though I don’t usually like to be the fifth or the fiftieth person to write about something, I still had to weigh in. R&R was too personal to me to do otherwise. Reading R&R was my education in the business. On Friday afternoons, I took the subway to its Washington, D.C., bureau, whose staffers then included Joel Denver, to scrounge a free copy of that week’s issue. Just as Variety was the only way to get the film grosses in those years, R&R was the only easy way to see playlists — back when just knowing what a playlist was set you apart from all those other … civilians. In an era when radio was still both show biz and (despite the protestations to the contrary) rocket science, reading R&R was like being allowed access to the set of every TV show you loved. Programmers talked candidly, or so it seemed, about making great radio, and if they probably weren’t telling all their secrets, what they did share was still new to me. Even in the three intervening years before anybody actually let me work at a radio station, it was admission to a dialogue between the influential programmers of the day. When I graduated from college in 1983, I went to Los Angeles and kept bugging then R&R editor Ken Barnes for two months until I finally got a job taking radio stations’ then self-reported playlists two days a week. “We thought if we didn’t hire you, you would die,” said Krisann Aglio, the woman who did hire me. A month later, I was full-time. A few months later, I was associate R&B editor to Walt Love, and had a weekly “This Day in Rock History” column. A few years later, I became the first “Gold” editor, covering Classic Rock and Oldies radio as they both blossomed. I spent four years at R&R at a time when it was the undisputed voice of the industry, the souvenir program of CHR’s mid-’80s comeback, and, in a less enviable way, the scorecard of the indie promotion game. Taking playlist reports in the mid-’80s, you could tell if a station was under the sway of an indie promoter because if one PD inadvertently reported a song by the wrong title, five other stations in the format with nearly identical “adds” that week would make the same mistake. In an article called “Dancing On The Grave Of Radio & Records?” Radio-Ink’s Eric Rhoads takes aim at R&R’s final owners who, he says, “followed the path so many large conglomerates take.” In that environment, he contends, “R&R lost its passion and enthusiasm and became the ‘bastard child’ of Billboard.” Rhoads is right to look beyond the malaise of print and the travails of the radio and music industries for a cause of R&R’s woes. But I have to point out here that my other alma mater, Airplay Monitor thrived for the better part of a decade as part of the Billboard organization. At the most, I will concede that the shotgun marriage of Monitor and R&R a few years ago never entirely took hold–and not for lack of effort on the part of either staff. Instead, what made R&R the groundbreaking publication of its time had been whittled down for many years and in many ways. The chart credibility that founder Bob Wilson worked so hard to establish never recovered from the paper adds and unreported airplay of the ’80s, even before BDS and Airplay Monitor came along to offer monitored airplay as an alternative. It wasn’t R&R’s fault that the labels worked so hard to game the charts, although things might yet have been different if R&R had itself partnered with BDS. Beyond that, R&R had long slipped away from being a forum for radio programming ideas – it was not consistently “by radio people, for radio people.” And the culture that prized innovation in radio programming had been diminished as well. The advent of PPM may have restored the notion of science to radio programming, but any PD who wanted to spend too long ruminating on the art of programming in today’s climate was under orders to wrap it up because the sales promotion meeting was starting. There was also an element of radio wackiness in the ’70s version of R&R–already fading away during my tenure as radio became, even then, big business. The first decade of R&R front pages are essentially radio people posting their goofy photos – DJs streaking (it was the ’70s), pie fights in the studio, scantily clad women in station t-shirts, jocks dressed up like Alice Cooper and Kiss. Whatever the value of that franchise, it hasn’t gone to any competing industry publication or Website. It instead exists now as the Facebook and YouTube postings and Tweets of various radio people. And just as radio has to work harder than it once did to maintain a sense of “community,” so do trade publications. Besides, you can count on wackiness to find its own venue. Free thought and learning are something else. Media watchdogs worry any time a unique voice is silenced. This week, forty different voices at R&R are out of the discussion, momentarily one hopes, and this is no time for the dialogue on radio’s future to be under wraps. The burden of keeping the lines of information and innovation open in this industry now falls not only on R&R’s surviving competitors, but on the willingness of their constituencies to participate in that dialogue.

Wow, so many classics out there! 1983 was the best from the 80's in terms of hits and quality of music.

1983 was my first year as a top 40 fanatic, and still a fun year to listen to countdowns from. My favorite era was the spring, but the whole year is great. Very nostalgic.

I like "Flashdance... What A Feeling," "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)," and "1999." I don't like "Every Breath You Take" and "I'm Still Standing."
