As much fun as it is to look back at John's charts that began the week ending August 23, 1980, it’s also interesting to see what music came BEFORE that first chart! On the year-end charts, 13 of the Top 20 Singles were released between January and August, and 9 of the Top 11 Singles were from earlier in the year. Also, 8 of the Top 10 year-end ALBUMS were released before the first chart.

Was this a case of John “just having more time to listen” to these songs and albums longer than those released AFTER August 23rd ... or something else?
