How?
I like your website so much,but I'm still wondering how is every song's score is generated. For instance,according to wikipedia, "Street Dance" peaked at #3 on the UK Singles Chart in March 1984, and was the 39th best-selling single of that year. It hit #1 in Sweden and Norway.In Germany, it was the 78th best-selling single of 1984. It charted #11 in Italy. "Street Dance"'s strongest chart performance was in Norway, where it was #1 for five weeks. In France, the song reached #1 for two weeks, selling over a million copies and becoming the 86th best-selling single of all time according to a list released in 2004 by the Syndicat National de l'Edition Phonographique.On this list it reached #97. Meanwhile,"Oh Sherrie"is only a successful hit in North America and France,it reached#73.I guess it's because you have used two charts in Canada,and four charts in US,is it possible if you can avoid this,like,use 75 percent of the North American final points for each song,if it would be possible. On"How is site generated"I didn't find the answer about how everysong get points.
There is a FAQ covering exactly that

Song
Nice site! So is King's song "Love & Pride" under No.100? How come?
Look again, "Love & Pride" by King is number 83 on the 2.8.0005 version of the 1985 list.

Higher rated songs?
Hi, let me start off by saying that I love this website dearly and check it very often. It's my goto for chart positioning.
Anyways, my question is: how is it possible for a song to do better in one list than a different song, but then do worst than that song in a different topic?
For example, "When Doves Cry" by Prince is at #16 while "I just called to say I love you" by Stevie Wonder pops up at #22 on here. However, if you go to the page for the year 1984, the Stevie wonder song is at #1 while "When Doves Cry" is at #3.
I'm just wondering if there's any ways that this could happen? I figured if asong was higher on one list it'd beat the other songs on different lists. Ad I type this out, part of me is beginning to wonder if different years put emphasis on different things, but I'll leave that up to you. Thank you!+
You have to read the text at the top of the page. On the Song Artist page it says "This page lists the artists... Each artist has been listed along with their highest placed song", while on the 1984 page it says "This page lists the top songs of 1984".
So Prince is the 16th artist overall (of all time), but his song "When Doves Cry" was the 3rd in 1984. Stevie Wonder is the 22nd artist of all time but "I Just Called to Say I Love You" was the top song of 1984.

Hall & Oates
I like this site but it seems not fair to this marvelous late 70-80's super duo. You cannot just miss them when you talk about entire 80's.
Song artist 180 (of all time) and album artist 293 seem about right to us (given their lack of success in Europe)
One issue is that since they were late 1970s and early 1980s their success is divided across the decades.

Deniece Williams
You have spelled Deniece Williams name wrong on "Let's Hear It For The Boy" (#28 - 1984). You have it as Denise, which is a common spelling of the name, but she goes by Deniece (and her nickname is "Niecy")
Some of the source charts list it as Deniece and some as Denise. Your suggestion seems to be the correct one so we've changed the name. Thanks for the input

I will be happy, if you will post these informations on this website... Many thanks in advance, regards, Allan Pour
As we've said we need the sources for complete charts, individual entries cannot be added.
Both "Always On My Mind" and "To All the Girls I've Loved Before" are already listed here in the 1982 and 1984 year lists (and on the "Always On My Mind" and Julio Iglesias pages).
We don't have a seperate page for Willie Nelson's songs because he is not in the 1000 highest scoring song artists (in the 1.10.001 data he's artist number 1531)
