The Date of Release chart is interesting (esp. the songs that came out way earlier than the start of the chart year) — but easily explicable. Given Billboard’s chart year, naturally, songs that come out in the winter will be the year’s biggest: they have the most time to amass chart points and enjoy a full chart run before the year runs out. A big hit that comes out in, say, July, has a built-in disadvantage — its chart run will likely be divided over two chart years.
Oh, and: love the font!
