Billboard listed jukebox plays, radio spins and record sales and in 1955 introduced the "Top 100" that indicated a song's popularity by combining the data from all three categories. The newly introduced "Hot 100" replaced "The Top 100".
NOTE:
To put things in context, presently, Billboard doesn't recognise the "Top 100" anymore, and only uses chart information from this point "Hot 100" onwards. They also don't acknowledge any double A-sides including the #1 double-A side "Hound Dog"/"Don't Be Cruel" as two separate #1's. So effectively, the following Elvis songs are no longer officially counted as Billboard U.S. chart toppers:
"Heartbreak Hotel", "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You", "Don't Be Cruel", "Hound Dog", "Love Me Tender", "Too Much", "All Shook Up", "Teddy Bear", "Jailhouse Rock", "Don't" and "Hard Headed Woman", even though they all topped the "Best Sellers Chart". So Elvis has dropped from having 17/18 U.S. #1's to 7. This has allowed Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Madonna, The Supremes, Whitney Houston and Rihanna to overtake him into seventh position. Elvis should be second with The Beatles at #1 with 20.
The Elvis songs that reached number one on the "Top 100" were: "Heartbreak Hotel", "Don't Be Cruel", "Love Me Tender", "All Shook Up", "Teddy Bear", "Jailhouse Rock" and "Don't".
WEBSITE OWNER'S MAYBE BIASED CONCLUSION:
This is quite unfair as almost three years of historical fact is dismissed like it never happened. It also dilutes the impact that Elvis Presley (and others) had made in helping fuse pop, country and rhythm and blues into the "general" music arena and help music evolve to where it is now.
