Kitty Wells and No. 1 records

This is perhaps a topic that pertains to all pre-1958 charts. We need to decide which chart is gospel — that is, is it the Best Sellers, Jukebox or Jockeys chart? Or do we list all three chart (in separate columns) and then refer to the chart where the song spent the longest time at No. 1 when talking about the song's chart accomplishments? I say this because we have Kitty Wells' "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky-Tonk Angels" listed at No. 1 for two weeks during 1952, but for years we've said the song spent six weeks atop the chart. Whatever chart is being referenced isn't stated. It needs to be decided which chart is official and then stick to it. [[Briguy52748 (talk) 13:46, 26 February 2010 (UTC)]][reply]

When a song appeared on multiple charts, the date entered was from the chart the song first entered, the peak position from the chart the song first reached it's highest position, the date peaked from the chart the song first reached it's peak and the "Chart, 40, 10" data from the chart that had the highest totals.

"It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" #1 for 6 weeks on the Best-Selling chart, #1 for 5 weeks on the Jukebox chart, and #1 for 3 weeks on the Disc Jockey chart. Therefore, the BS numbers are accepted as final. However; the DJ chart started 1952-07-09, 1 week earlier than the others, and stayed on for 18 weeks, so these numbers are accepted.Tillywilly17 (talk) 03:20, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
