Anyone know where I can get a list of pop/rock hit parade songs going through the years back to about 1955?

Sort of a Top 40 list, year by year, giving song and ranking.

Thanks in advance:)

The actual Hit Parade was a radio, then TV show that ran from 1935-55. That archive is here. (http://nfo.net/hits/)

Alaska Jim (http://www.alaskajim.com/charts/yearlyalbums/yearlyalbums.htm) keeps various charting archives. But it's spotty.

This one (http://www.alaskajim.com/charts/yearlysingles/yearlysingles.htm) might have what you want.

Billboard's singles charts (starting in 1955) database is not publicly available that I know of, just through subscription services or books (I work in broadcasting) but mayne it's slipped out somewhere.

Thanks guys!!:)
