THE MBG TOP FORTY
|
OCTOBER 30, 1983 THRU NOVEMBER 3, 1984
THE 15TH CHART YEAR
A Brief Explanation: I have chosen to incorporate what I call 'Chart Years' into The MBG Top 40. Each year, the new chart year will begin on Sunday of the first week of November and run through Saturday of the last week of October. All singles which made their debut within those dates will become eligible for the Top Hits for that chart year; 247 singles qualified during the 1984 chart year.
