Billboard doesn't do the "Top 40" charts .. that belongs to American Top 40 (the second link post). Billboard does the Hot 100. They're all based on different criteria. The ones I linked first are compilations from a few sources.Interesting - The number ones chart by year has Billie Jean at number on in 1980. Billboard has it at number one in January of '83. So much for accuracy

Top 40 doesn't always mean dance tune. Some of the greatest songs of all time suck to dance to.I guess so - plenty of floor killers in there.

That makes sense... It is a little surprising it took so long for Billy Jean to make it to the Top 40 though; isn't it?Thanks Bobcat. What I meant was the Thriller album was released in November of '82.
Billie Jean was actually the second release from the album The girl is mine was the first release. If I recall the story correctly they thought Billie Jean was a better lead single but chose the Girl because Paul McCartney was on the track and had a better chance of getting airplay and especially MTV play. Billie Jean was released in early Jan 83That makes sense... It is a little surprising it took so long for Billy Jean to make it to the Top 40 though; isn't it?
