Confusion of the issue date Dec. 30 1989[edit]

The No.1 was indeed Phil Collins' ...But Seriously and not Milli Vanilli's Girl You Know It's True. Let me tell what the reason is for that confusion:

There was a time when Billboard didn't release an edition at the end of each year. For example there was no chart published on Dec. 30 1989 so some people transformed the chart from Dec. 23 1989 (when Girl You Know It's True was No.1) to the Dec. 30 1989. But here is the printed paper from Jan. 27 1990:

https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Billboard/90s/1990/BB-1990-01-27.pdf

Look at page 92. There it is written that ...But Seriously was 4 weeks at No.1!

1st week: Dec. 30 1989, 2nd week: Jan. 06 1990, 3rd week: Jan. 20 1990, 4th week: Jan. 27 1990.

So Billboard counts the non-released chart on Dec. 30 1989 as a chart in which ...But Seriously was No.1. Therefore it is right to name ...But Seriously at No.1 on Dec. 30 1989. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Schorsch.landmann (talk • contribs) 21:10, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
