The spreadsheet has been completed, 31 564 rows/2 = 15 782 records. All songs that entered the US charts + flips. The comparison also comprises the UK Chart and other European charts. To open, go to

click the link US Charts 1954-1969. The spreadsheet opens in few seconds and I suggest to download in Excel format. Instruction how to extract data from this spreadsheet can be also found in “Content”. 
Titanic work, data have been manually re-written from various books and bugs can be expected. 
I would greatly appreciate your help in the debugging process

Wow! A massive undertaking, George. Just thinking about doing all that typing make my fingers ache. A very handy reference tool to have! Thanks very much.

Yes Mike, re-writing data has taken thousands of hours. Obviously, it has been made systemtically, during the last 20 years. Probably, it is the only such comparison created ever. It gives answers to many questions asked on the Internet forums, e.g. what is the number of non_Bill Music Vendor only hits, etc.

Incredible amount of work there George. It's a lot to take in but a great reference resource. You are to be congratulated but after 20 years of working on it what's next? apart from a well earned break.

Professor RnR said...

Many thanks zipper. No break. I have plans for the next 20 years. Music of the 1950s and the 1960s is botomless well full of treasures.
