January 5, 1963

For now I am creating a separate Hot 100 section to each year. Prior to 1963 (for now), you will find the Hot 100's in the reply section of the given year. Hopefully this will make for an easier system of navigation for the charts. We'll see how this goes. As mentioned, anything prior will be found respectfully in the year topic at hand. (Top 40 USA / Top 40 UK / Hot 100 USA).
