My chart did not go online until the last week of June 2003 (20 freaking years ago!!! ), where Madonna's "Hollywood" spent it's second of 11 weeks at #1. However, I actually was doing a weekly chart as early as 2002, and kept it a secret between me and Unkie , who encouraged me to share it online but I refused because I thought it was a weird hobby that nobody else had. Boy was I wrong, and to this day I appreciate him finding Top Hits Online and proving me wrong. I was going through the Wayback Archives tonight and while those old pre-internet charts are still gone and will never be able to be retrieved, I was able to discover the peak positions of some songs from that era. There are also others that I remember from memory. I'll share everything I was able to remember/re-discover...
