On the week ending November 12, 1955, Billboard published The Top 100 for the first time. In 1959, Billboard Bubbling Under Chart has been launched. In parallel, two other charts existed on American music industry scene, Cash Box and Music Vendor.
Cash Box Top 50 between 1954 and 1956, Top 75 between 1956 and 1958, Top 100 from 1958.
Music Vendor Top 100 between 1954 and 1964, renamed Record World Top 100 in 1964.
The number of hits that entered these charts and didn’t appear on Billboard Charts (Pop, R&B, Country, AC), even as flips, was significant. Then, to have complete overview on American music industry scene from 1954 to 1969, also two "other" charts have to be taken into account*.
