Read the methodology section in the first post.

Short answer is that the scores are weighted to account for different turnover rates in different eras due to Billboard chart methodology changes. Billboard performed similar calculations for their own list.

The Hot 100 + Billboard 200 1950-1970 in particular were extremely volatile.

Live Your Life sure was huge. I always forget how big that song was.

The Monster Mash is one of my all time favorite songs

I know and love Another One Bites the Dust, but I had no idea it was so successful when it was new
