I'm a little confused about the dates. The July 22, 2006 chart is out now. So does that mean that that is the chart for July 16-22? --Scaryice 00:02, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] other lists

Does Wiki have a List of number-two hits (United States) or if it doesn't, how about a List of number-three hits (United States)?

If those lists don't currently exist, somebody ought to post one. I am looking for an old song I haven't heard in 30 years, and apparently it never made it past #2 or #3.

-Some songs who are #2 or even #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, menaged to go #1 on Cashbox like 1976's hit Dream Weaver by Gary Wright was #2 on Billboard and #1 on Cashbox. Safety Dance by Man Without Hats was #3 on Billboard but reached #1 on Cashbox. By a coincidence, I mentionned also a suggestion to post the list of number-one hits from Cashbox like the Top 100 singles and specialized charts (dance, rock, country) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cash_Box That's a good idea to suggest a list of number-two hits.

I think #2 and #3 are a bit frivolous and fall under WP:NOT#IINFO. Reaching number one is a significant milestone and much more notable than a list of songs that reached #3. Why not make a list of songs that reached #16? - eo (talk) 18:04, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree with you about the list of #2 and #3, however what about a list of #1 hits by Billboard's competitor Cash Box? - Sd-100 (talk - contribs March 27 2008 —Preceding comment was added at 22:20, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Cashbox definitely, until the 1980s it was very notable, as far as I know. Do you have that information? Actually there is a website somewhere that has all of it, I think. Pretty sure it's linked in the Cashbox article. - eo (talk) 22:26, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

the website who have the original archives of Cashbox Top 100 singles is at http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/randypny/cashbox/

and it's mirrored at http://www.cashboxmagazine.com/archives.htm and there another site who list the Billboard hot 100, Cashbox Top 100, the UK chart and the Eurochart at http://musicseek.info/ but unfortunetely musicseek.info wasn't updated since 2005 and it could had been interesting to see the #1 lists (including the ones from the revival of Cashbox) since 2005.-Sd-100 (talk - contribs March 27 2008 —Preceding comment was added at 22:37, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
