JOEL WHITBURN
About the Author:
From an eager record-collecting teenager in the 1950s to a world-renowned musicologist in the 21st
century, Joel Whitburn’s passion for music and the Billboard charts is ongoing. Joel turned his
chart-watching hobby into a business in 1970 with the publication of his first book. Over the past 40
years, Joel’s company, Record Research, has published over 200 reference books, which chronicle
over a century of American music. These, as well as Joel’s books published by Billboard Books, are
required reading for virtually anyone with a serious interest in music. He has also collaborated with
Rhino Records on a series of over 150 CD compilations of America’s top charted hits. Joel’s own
comprehensive charted music collection is the backbone of his research.
Ever the hobbyist, Joel participates in a wide variety of water, winter and motor sports, but the
active, six-and-a-half footer ranks basketball and softball as his top sports. The Wisconsinite and his
wife Fran, a native of Honduras, enjoy spending time in southern Florida and central Wisconsin with
their daughter Kim Bloxdorf, her husband Dave, and their children Samantha and Nathaniel.

WHAT’S NEW IN THIS EDITION
In a continuing effort to improve each subsequent edition of Hot R&B Songs, some new features
were added to this sixth edition.
NEW ARTIST RANKING METHODOLOGY
Due to the large number of “Featured” artists appearing on today’s recordings, our ranking method
gives less points to an artist when shown as a “Featured” artist than as the lead artist. An artist
receives 20% of the points for his “Featured” titles. For example, for the title “Get Up” by Ciara
Featuring Chamillionaire, Ciara receives 100% of the points assigned to this title as she is the lead
artist, while Chamillioniare receives only 20% of the points as he is the “featured” artist.
RE-ENTRIES
If a title was off the chart for more than 12 weeks and peaked in a different year, it is now considered
a re-entry. All re-entries now appear immediately below the original chart entry for easy reference.
DUET TITLES
All duos, featured names and song titles by multiple artists are shown as they are listed on the
record labels and sleeves. All regular duets, such as Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, are now
grouped below the solo titles at the end of the artist listing.
DIGITAL DOWNLOADS
In keeping up with the ever-changing musical landscape, a new special symbol marks all digital
download-only hits.

EXPLANATION OF ARTIST AND SONG AWARDS
GRAMMY AWARDS
The National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences introduced the Grammy Awards in 1958. Each
year thousands of music industry professionals vote for winners in many different music genres.
The actual awards show is televised each February. You’ll find the song award(s) listed directly
below each honored title. You’ll find the artist awards (Best New Artist, Lifetime Achievement,
Legend, Trustee and Technical) listed directly beneath the artist bio.
GRAMMY HALL OF FAME

The Recording Academy’s Trustees established the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1973 to honor
recordings of lasting quality or historical significance that are at least 25 years old. A special
committee of eminent and knowledgeable music professionals selects inductees annually each
January. These inductees are noted directly below each honored title.
ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation was created in 1983 (the actual museum opened in
Cleveland in 1995). Each year since 1986, a selection committee has designated artist and song
nominees, which are then voted on by a select group of approximately 1000 music industry
professionals. The inductees are announced at the end of each year and the induction ceremonies
are held the following spring. The Induction Year for each artist is shown directly beneath the artist
bio. Song inductees are listed directly below each honored title.
ROLLING STONE 500 GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME

In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine polled 172 music industry professionals to vote for their favorite
songs of all time. The results were published and the 500 songs that ranked are noted directly
below each honored title.
RIAA / NEA SONGS OF THE CENTURY

In 2001, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the National Endowment for the
Arts (NEA) selected the Top 365 Songs Of The Century. Hundreds of people, including music
industry professionals, voted for recordings of historical and cultural significance. The rankings are
noted directly below each honored title.
BMI TOP 100 SONGS OF THE CENTURY

In December of 1999, the Broadcast Music Industry (BMI), an organization formed in 1939 and
dedicated to collecting songwriting and publishing royalties, released a list of the 100 most-played
songs on American radio and television during the 20th Century. The rankings are noted directly
below each honored title.
NPR TOP 100 SONGS

Throughout the year 2000, National Public Radio (NPR) unveiled their picks for the Top 100 Musical
Works of the 20th Century. The rankings are noted directly below each honored title.
OSCAR AWARDS FOR BEST SONG

Since 1934, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has awarded an Academy Award
(“Oscar”) for that year’s Best Original Song. The award goes to the songwriters, not the performer.
Song winners are listed directly below each honored title.

RESEARCHING BILLBOARD’S
R&B SINGLES CHARTS
This book covers the entire history of Billboard magazine’s R&B singles charts from October 24, 1942
through August 28, 2010, and the research cut-off date for songs on that final chart is October 16, 2010.
A total of more than 23,800 chart hits and more than 5,200 artists are listed in all.
MULTIPLE R&B SINGLES CHARTS, 1948-1958

Billboard published its first R&B singles sales chart, Harlem Hit Parade, on October 24, 1942. In early
1945, the Harlem Hit Parade evolved into the Most-Played Juke Box Race Records chart. On May 22,
1948, Billboard introduced another R&B singles chart, Best Selling Retail Race Records. As of June 25,
1949, “Rhythm & Blues” was substituted for “Race” in the chart name of both the Best Selling and Juke
Box charts. A third R&B singles chart, Most Played by R&B Disk Jockeys, made its debut on January 22,
1955. All of these charts were published on a weekly basis and each focused on specific areas of the
music trade. The Juke Box chart was discontinued on June 17, 1957. On October 20, 1958, the Best
Seller and Disk Jockey charts were replaced by one all-encompassing Top 30 R&B singles chart titled Hot
R&B Sides. This chart has changed in name and size over the past four decades and is known, today, as
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. For a more detailed history of all of Billboard’s R&B singles charts, see the
“Synopsis of Billboard’s R&B Singles Charts” on pages 8-9.
During the years of multiple charts, 1948-1958, many singles hit more than one chart. In our research,
the single’s debut date is taken from the chart on which it first appeared. The single’s peak position is
taken from the chart on which it achieved its highest ranking. Listed to the right of the title (before the
listing of the B-side) is an indication of the chart(s) and peak position it achieved. (See “Peak Positions
Attained On Various R&B Charts” in the “User’s Guide” for a further explanation.) The single’s weeks
charted and weeks at positions #1, #2, or #3 are taken from the chart on which it achieved its highest
total.
CHART METHODOLOGIES
For decades, Billboard’s R&B singles charts were compiled from playlists reported by radio stations and
sales reports reported by stores. These airplay and sales reports established the weekly rankings for
Billboard’s airplay and sales charts, and were combined for the compilation of the Hot R&B Singles chart.
On December 5, 1992, Billboard dramatically revised the compilation methodology of the Hot R&B Singles
chart and thus improved the chart’s accuracy. Since then, the chart has been determined by a
combination of input from radio stations continuously monitored by Broadcast Data Systems (BDS),
additional radio station playlists, and actual point-of-sale information provided by SoundScan.
Beginning on January 2, 1999, Billboard began including album tracks on the R&B chart, renaming it Hot
R&B Singles & Tracks to reflect this change. On April 30, 2005, the name of the chart was shortened to
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
R&B SINGLES AIRPLAY

Billboard began publishing the Hot Black (R&B) Singles Airplay chart on October 20, 1984. This chart
was based on surveys of playlists reported by radio stations. The chart was revolutionized on July 11,
1992. From this point forward the Airplay chart is compiled from airplay data provided by Broadcast Data
Systems. The songs that hit the Airplay chart, but did not hit the all-encompassing Hot R&B Singles chart,
are identified with a special [AIR] designation directly before the Pop Pos column.

USER’S GUIDE
The artist section lists each artist’s charted hits primarily in chronological order. Each of an artist’s
song titles is sequentially numbered. All Top 10 hits are shaded for quick identification.
EXPLANATION OF COLUMNAR HEADINGS & SYMBOLS

DEBUT: Date song first charted
PEAK: Highest charted position (highlighted in bold type).
➊ #1 hit (peak weeks of all #1, #2 and #3 hits are shown next to their peak
position in superscript)
WKS: Total weeks charted (currently a song is automatically dropped if it charted
20 weeks or more and drops below position 50)
RIAA: ● Gold
▲ Platinum
Digital Gold
Digital Platinum
Non-certified million seller
(See next page for a detailed explanation of the certification requirements.)
Song Title: Title of chart hit
B-side: Flip side of a 7" vinyl single or additional track(s) on a charted 12" vinyl single,
cassette or CD single
Label & Number: Original record label and catalog number of commercial single when charted.
No catalog number is shown if the primary format is “Album Cut” (see
directly below for a detailed explanation of configuration symbols).
EXPLANATION OF CONFIGURATION SYMBOLS

The standard configuration for all charted hits from 1955-1989 was a 7" vinyl single. All titles that do
not show a symbol were from that era and were available as 7" vinyl singles.
Album Cut: Song was never commercially released as a single.

CD Single: Became the configuration on December 5, 1998.
Digital Download
Picture Sleeve: Custom picture sleeve originally issued with a 7" vinyl single, 1955-89.
Cassette Single: Was the configuration from 1990-98.
12" vinyl single: Listed only if it is the only commercial singles format available.
Vinyl single: Symbol only used from 1990-on.
11
EXPLANATION OF OTHER SYMBOLS
+ Indicates title peaked in the year after it first charted
- Indicates a holiday single that peaked in January, but is considered a holiday hit in the
previous year.
↑ Indicates the weeks charted data are subject to change since the title was still charted as
of the 10/16/2010 research cut-off date.
/ Divides a two-sided hit. Complete chart data (debut date, peak position, etc.) is shown
for both sides if each side achieved its own peak position. If a title charted only as the
B-side, then only the debut date and weeks it charted as a "tag along" side are listed.
GOLD AND PLATINUM

The main source we use to designate Gold and Platinum singles is the Recording Industry
Association of America (RIAA), which began certifying Gold singles in 1958 and Platinum singles in
1976. Prior to 1958, record labels awarded their own gold record awards. In fact, this practice
helped lead to the creation of the RIAA and its auditing system. The RIAA program requires active
participation from the various record labels. Some labels (such as Motown) never requested
certification for some of their biggest hits and artists. Also, any label can request certification on any
title under the current standards, no matter how old. This is why songs by artists, such as Elvis
Presley, can be certified Platinum, even though their big hits were prior to 1976. Below is a detailed
list of the various certification levels.
Physical vinyl, cassette and compact disc sales

● Sales of 1,000,000 (1958-88). Sales of 500,000 (1989-present)
▲ Sales of 2,000,000 (1976-88). Sales of 1,000,000 (1989-present)
Each additional level of one million units is designated with a superscript number.
Digital Downloads
❍ Sales of 500,000
Sales of 1,000,000
Each additional level of one million units is designated with a superscript number.
Non-certified million seller

Based on sales reports in Billboard and other music trade publications
Physical vinyl, cassette and CD certification always takes precedence over digital sales.
If a song was certified for both physical and digital, then a trivia note is shown noting the digital
certification.

PICTURES OF THE TOP ARTISTS

A picture of each of the Top 100 artists is shown next to their listing in the artist section.
PEAK POSITIONS ATTAINED ON VARIOUS R&B CHARTS
From May 22, 1948 through October 13, 1958, Billboard published a weekly Best Sellers In Stores
chart and Most Played In Juke Boxes chart, and as of January 22, 1955, they introduced a third chart,
Most Played By Jockeys. The peak position shown in the Peak column for these charts is taken from
the chart on which it achieved its highest position. The individual peak positions attained on these
three charts is listed to the right of the A-side title. All of the R&B singles charts consulted are listed
below. The following letter designations precede the peak position attained on these charts:
A: Most Played By Jockeys

S: Best Sellers In Stores
J: Most Played In Juke Boxes
EXCLUSIVE AIRPLAY HITS (1984-1998)
The peak position of a title that hit the Airplay chart exclusively (never hit the all-encompassing
Hot R&B Singles chart) from 1984-1998, is shown in the “PEAK” column. To identify these titles,
a special [AIR] designation is shown directly before the Pop Pos column.
B-SIDES
If an A-side is recorded by a duo and its B-side is recorded by a solo artist, then the solo artist’s
name is shown in parentheses after the B-side.
If a B-side hit Billboard’s Hot 100 or Bubbling Under the Hot 100 pop singles charts, its peak position
is shown in parentheses to the right of the B-side, and vice versa.
The B-side of a cassette single often contains one or more mixes of the A-side along with another
title that may also include one or more mixes. Mixes are shown in parentheses in small letters in the
B-side column — ex.: (instrumental), (live), (remix), (album version). Often an A-side and a B-side
are on the same side of the cassette single. Usually a cassette single repeats the same program on
both sides.
If a B-side hit Billboard’s Hot 100 (or pre-Hot 100 pop singles charts) or Bubbling Under the Hot 100
chart, the word “Pop” and its peak position is shown in parentheses to the right of the B-side
[ex.: It’s Never Too Late (Pop #101)].
13
ARTIST’S BIGGEST HITS
For any artist with 10 or more charted hits, the artist’s highest-charting title is underlined for easy
identification. The biggest hit is mostly a reflection of chart performance; however, there are
exceptions. “Featured” titles are not eligible to be an artist’s biggest hit.
The Top 3 hits of every artist with 10 to 19 charted hits and the Top 5 hits of every artist with 20 or
more charted hits are listed right below the artist’s biography and/or any award notations.
ARTIST & TITLE NOTES

Below every artist name are biographical notes about the artist. Directly under some song titles are
notes indicating industry awards as well as backing vocalists, guest instrumentalists, the title of a
movie in which the song was featured, etc. Duets and other important variations are shown in bold
capital letters below the title. Names of artists mentioned in the artist and title notes are highlighted
in bold type if they have their own entries elsewhere in the book. A name is only shown bold the first
time it appears in an artist’s biography. All movie, TV, and other major works are shown in italics.

subsidiary label, Argo. Arvee followed up with a new song by The Marathons, recorded by an unknown non-Vibrations group.

PARLIAMENT / FUNKADELIC 1970s: #15 / All-Time: #61

Highly influential and prolific funk aggregation of nearly 40 musicians spearheaded by George Clinton (born on 7/22/1941;
producer/songwriter/lead singer). Clinton founded doo-wop group The Parliaments in 1955 in Newark, New Jersey. First
recorded for Hull in 1958. By 1967, evolved into a soul group with lineup of vocalists Clinton, Raymond Davis (died on 7/5/2005,
age 65), Calvin Simon, Clarence "Fuzzy" Haskins and Grady Thomas. In 1967, relocated to Detroit and added rhythm section.
In 1968, Clinton formed Funkadelic with rhythm section of The Parliaments, recruited keyboardist Bernie Worrell and changed
The Parliaments name to Parliament. Although on different labels, Parliament and Funkadelic shared the same personnel
which included former members of The JB's: brothers Phelps "Catfish" Collins (guitar) and William "Bootsy" Collins (bass),
Frank "Kash" Waddy (drums) and horn players Maceo Parker (Maceo And The Macks) and Fred Wesley. Other core
members: Eddie Hazel (guitar), Gary Shider (guitar), Michael Sterling (bass; Sterling Silver) and Tiki Fulwood (drums). Known
as "A Parliafunkadelicament Thang," this funk corporation included various offshoots: Bootsy's Rubber Band, The Horny
Horns, The Brides Of Funkenstein, Parlet and Xavion, among others. Concert tours featured elaborate staging and
characters. In 1977, Haskins, Simon and Thomas split from Clinton; in 1981, they recorded as Funkadelic for LAX (and later as
Original P). The corporation disassembled in the early 1980s and Clinton recorded with some members as P-Funk All Stars
("P" stands for pure). Clinton signed his first solo recording contract in 1982.

PRESLEY, Elvis 1950s: #2 / All-Time: #46

"The King of Rock & Roll." Born on 1/8/1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi. Died of heart failure on 8/16/1977 (age 42). Moved to
Memphis in 1948. First recorded for Sun in 1954. Signed to RCA Records on 11/22/1955. With his good looks, a passionate
bluesy voice, a great band (Bill Black, bass; Scotty Moore, guitar; D.J. Fontana, drums), a smooth vocal quartet (The
Jordanaires), and managed by Tom Parker, Presley blazed his way to become the #1 star of rock 'n roll - a position he has
not yet relinquished. Starred in 31 feature movies (beginning with Love Me Tender in 1956). In U.S. Army from 1958-60.
Married to Priscilla Beaulieu (later an actress) from 1967-73. Their only child, Lisa Marie, was married to Michael Jackson
from 1994-96. Elvis's last "live" performance was in Indianapolis on 6/26/1977.
