  • Best Sellers in Stores – ranked the biggest selling singles in retail stores, as reported by merchants surveyed throughout the country.
  • Most Played by Jockeys – ranked the most played songs on United States radio stations, as reported by radio disc jockeys and radio stations.
  • Most Played in Jukeboxes – ranked the most played songs in jukeboxes across the United States.
  • Honor Roll of Hits – a composite ten-position song chart which combined data from the three charts above along with three other component charts.[1][2] It served as The Billboard's lead chart until the introduction of the Hot 100 in 1958 and would remain in print until 1963.[3]

Note: In the issue dated January 10, May 1, and October 9, The Billboard reported a tie for the number-one single on one of its charts.
