Billboard Top popular records of 1965

from Billboard's 1966 International Record & Talent Showcase^[3]

TOP SINGLES OF 1965 The list below represents the top singles sides of the past year (Jan. 2 through Oct. 30 issue). The rank order in no way attempts to report actual sales of any of the records involved. This chart was determined by an analysis of the week-to-week information utilized in compiling the Hot 100 chart. Many of the records, with possibly greater cumulative sales than some of those listed above them, are not so ranked because of the methodology involved in this tabulation. Records that reached their peak prior to 1965 and after the Oct. 30, 1965, issue could not be fully represented. Other records were affected in total points by the number of weeks on chart as well as week-to-week positions.

Billboard's October cutoff eliminated 17% of the 1965 year-end chart data, and prevented another 60 records from completing their full chart runs. The formula also included approximately 50 records from 1964, some of which had enough points to rank in the 1965 chart. Joel Whitburn's Records Research books, archived issues of Billboard for November-December 1964 and November 1965-March 1966, and other Hot 100 Year-End formulas were used to complete the 1965 year-end chart.

The completed chart is composed of records that entered the Billboard Hot 100 between November 1964 and December 1965. Records with chart runs that started in 1964 and ended in 1965, or started in 1965 and ended in 1966, made this chart if the majority of their chart weeks were in 1965. If not, they were ranked in the year-end charts for 1964 or 1966. If their weeks were equal, they were listed in the year they first entered. Appearing in multiple years is not permitted. Each week fifteen points were awarded to the number one record, then nine points for number two, eight points for number three, and so on. The total points a record earned determined its year-end rank. The complete chart life of each record is represented, with number of points accrued. There are no ties, even when multiple records have the same number of points. The next ranking category is peak chart position, then weeks at peak chart position, weeks in top ten, weeks in top forty, and finally weeks on Hot 100 chart.

The chart can be sorted by Artist, Song title, Recording and Release dates, Cashbox year-end ranking (CB) or units sold (sales) by clicking on the column header. Additional details for each record can be accessed by clicking on the song title, and referring to the Infobox in the right column of the song page. Billboard also has chart summaries on its website. Cashbox rankings were derived by same process as the Billboard rankings. Sales information was derived from the RIAA's Gold and Platinum database, the BRIT Certified database and The Book of Golden Discs,^[4] but numbers listed should be regarded as estimates. Grammy Hall of Fame and National Recording Registry information with sources can be found on Wikipedia.
