A complete list of all top 40 songs in history?

I know billboard has/had a week by week top 40 list posted on their site. I wondered if anyone had every compiled a comlpete list of every song to appear in the billboard top 40 since it's inception?

Just wondering outloud, lol.

I have a (now outdated) book called Top Pop Singles 1955-1993 which lists every single to make Billboard's Hot 100 chart. I've been meaning to get a newer version but haven't yet. I believe the site where you can purchase these type of books is www.recordresearch.com

You can fill out this form and they'll send you info about all of their books: https://www.recordresearch.com/contact.html They used to be based in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. I picked up the book I have at an office building there but I know they'll ship anywhere in the USA.

Looks like the new book covers '55-'02: http://www.recordresearch.com/singles.html#SET
I'll have to order one for myself. I love music trivia.

The books from recordresearch.com are fantastic. Highly recommended. They will have exactly what you are looking for.

Not necessarily, since it seems Vince is also interested in top 40 info pre-1950's. Checking around the Record Research site, it seems the one that comes closest to what Vince is looking for pre "rock era" is POP MEMORIES 1890-1954

They did not exist before that.

Those books are damn expensive but a GREAT resource. We've been using them at my radio station since before I started working there.
