Edited September 16, 2008 by Celineforeveranangel

[Davey84]

based on what was this made? Doesn't she still hold the record for longest number 1 on the airplay chart with ANDHC?

[zoea2812]

Thats a ridiculous list

[Nikosn17]

based on what was this made? Doesn't she still hold the record for longest number 1 on the airplay chart with ANDHC?

 

How many weeks it was #1 on airpaly ?

[Celineforeveranangel]

Im not to sure what they based it on. the link is www.billboard.com. Click on the 50th anniversary logo and you will see the chart. They say how many weeks the song was number one ect and give more info. Check it out....

 

I don't agree at all with a lot of these songs on the list!!!!!!!!!

[Celineforeveranangel]

Heres how Billboard explain how they came up with the anniversary charts

 

The 50th Anniversary Hot 100 Song and Artist charts are based on actual performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100, since the chart's inception in August 1958 through the issue dated July 26, 2008. Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least.

 

Prior to the Hot 100's implementation in 1991 of enhanced radio and sales information from Nielsen BDS and Nielsen SoundScan, songs had shorter reigns at No. 1 and shorter chart lives.

 

To ensure equitable representation of the biggest hits from all 50 years, earlier time frames were each weighted to compensate for the differences in the faster turnover rates from those earlier decades, compared to the slower churn the Hot 100 has seen since the advent of Nielsen Music data.

 

Before that conversion, UB40's cover of "Red, Red Wine," which was on the chart for 40 weeks, and Chubby Checker's "The Twist," with 39 weeks, represented the longest chart stays ever by a No. 1 title. Since December 1991, 17 No. 1 titles have surpassed UB40's prior record, the longest being 60 weeks by Los Del Rio's "Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix)."

 

All-time Hot 100 recaps for Country, R&B/Hip-Hop, Rock, and Latin utilize the same methodology as described above, with designation of titles for each of those genre charts determined by Billboard chart managers, based on characteristics of those genres.

 

The Latin chart includes Brazilian repertoire. For artists with multi-format appeal (like Jennifer Lopez or Enrique Iglesias), tracks released since the October 1986 launch of Hot Latin Songs were only included if either Spanish or English versions of those songs received enough radio play to appear on that chart or one of Billboard's other Latin Airplay charts.

based on what was this made? Doesn't she still hold the record for longest number 1 on the airplay chart with ANDHC?

 

ANDHC was number one for 21 weeks on the Adult Contemporary chart and not the airplay chart. That was a record that is now broken (22 weeks some song i don't know the name)

Because you loved me i think held the record on the airplay chart with 14 weeks i think.
