About the Billboard Charts:
Billboard Chart data is compiled here as a collection development resource for use
by library staff members. We hope that you will find these lists to be quick and
convenient reference guides to what the public is purchasing across various genres!
A few things to keep in mind:
- Only the new entries, within a specific range, are included on the charts. Libraries
may use the Billboard music charts in a unique way by tracking these new entries.
- The lists do include newly released titles that appear on Billboard, but they also
indicate which titles have entered the top 10, 20, or 40 range on a given chart.
An album may have been on the charts for weeks, but will appear on this list
only when it reaches the range of our review.
- If the same title appears on multiple charts, such as Billboard 200 and the Billboard
Country charts, then we will include the title only once on the Billboard 200, thereby
preventing duplicates within the list.
The table below shows the charts that are summarized, and the range or depth we
follow in each chart:
