Year-end charts (2002-2005): The year-end charts listed on the physical Billboard volumes from 2002 to 2005 are not complete. The full year-end charts were only available to subscribers before it was taken down. The links to year-end charts were archived prior to being removed via Webcite, Below are links to each year, chart, and a mirror site should WebCite go down again:

You may use also Allmusic as an alternative source for Billboard chart positions. The charts are listed under the "Awards" section. However, Billboard should be preferably used as Allmusic lists singles released in the same year are arranged alphabetical order and takes two weeks to update chart positions. As of 2016, Allmusic no longer displays Billboard charts due to licensing costs.

Physical scans can be found on Google Books and on World Radio History. Note that not all issues may be available.
