Double Listing - Hank Williams Jr.'s Greatest Hits
#39 should be combined with #1. Per Joel Whitburn the total Billboard data should read #107 - 70 weeks.
What with confusion between Hank Williams and Hank Williams Jr and Greatest Hits, Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 Hank Williams' Greatest Hits and Hank Williams, Jr.'s Greatest Hits we can't see an obvious way to sort out the Billboard entries
