You're welcome.
I don't know anything about the genre specific lists myself. That would be great to have every billboard chart ever published. Billboard makes a lot of books though. They had one out that was an alphabetical listing of everyone who appeared in certain decades and listed all their chart dates and recordings. That book was great. Great for finding old classics few remember. Some artists had outstanding singles that were ignored in subsequent years for various reasons and resources like this are much less cumbersome than skimming through thousands of albums looking for the hits. There were tons of great songs that got played for a week and then it was gone.
It is odd though. Billboard is in now way a complete picture of "hit music." You lose all the MTV influence in the 80's and regional favorites are lost in the shuffle. There are also other reasons and song can't possibly chart.
Billboard has a website that has everything, but they treat it as a professional resource, which means the people who need it will pay whatever they ask, like an insurance policy. It's a shame that they don't consider reasonable access to their charts
to be a priority.
