Do you have any info/pictures etc on Glen's tour of the above 'subject' .Cannot remember the year

This site only has charts, no details of tours etc. Given that (as this page shows) he had hits in 1975-1976 in New Zealand (which were not big elsewhere) we would guess that the year was 1975

Glen Campbell's song 30 is a collaboration with Bobbie Gentry. I think, that Top 40 hits like "Can You Fool" or "Oh, Happy Day" have to be "higher" than songs, that were not as successfull as them. And I also think, that his "Wichita Lineman" deserves to be one of Top 40 hits of 1968.

The Bullfrog listing clearly credits Glen Campbell alone with the song "Let it be me". However, checking this on a few sites does show that on this occasion the Bullfrog listing is wrong.

Thanks for the correction, the data has been fixed.

You also suggest that a song peaking at 38 in 1978 should be listed higher than one peaking at 94 in 1981. We agree that does, at first sight, seem wrong.

We could cop out and say that by the time we are listing songs that far down the list the order is fairly arbitrary, what the listing here is really saying is that the last 18 or so songs were all 'minor hits'. We also could point out that 451 songs made the Billboard top 100 in 1978, while in 1981 there were 408, in other words it was harder to have a hit in 1981.

But while both these are true they don't explain why we have this particular situation. One thing to notice is that the peak of 11 in the Australian charts is rated as less important than reaching number 81 in the US. This is, of course, fair, since the population of Australia (22 million) compared with the USA (309 million) means that the music market in Australia is about 6% of the size of that in the US.

The explanation for this strange situation is rooted in the same basic process. The calculation of "overall success" can take various aspects into account, some distort the top ranking songs and some the lower ranking ones. There are no simple approaches (that we've found so far anyway) which don't leave anomalies somewhere, when you push down the wrinkle in the carpet of values all that happens is another bump appears on the far side of the room. Our choice has been to focus on getting the highest rated items 'correctly ordered' and we have felt that if this results in some odd situations towards the end of each artist's lists that is a price worth paying. Most users are interested in the ording of the top songs, not the last few.

If you, or indeed anyone, can suggest an approach that does a better overall job we would be happy to adopt it. The spreadsheet on the versions page provides the data you need to try things out.

Finally you suggest that "Wichita Lineman" deserves to be one of Top 40 hits of 1968. The scores are really quite close, no doubt an alternative approach would place Glen Campbell higher, but on this site we pick the algortithm and apply it. No one gets to fiddle with the results (even the administrators). So "deserves" really doesn't come into it, every song gets the position its chart entries entitle it to.

Once again if you can suggest a fairer scoring system we'd be happy to hear from you.

Wichita Lineman went to No. 1 in Canada in December 1968, not 69.

You are completely correct, our mistake. Thanks for pointing it out.
