70 years ago this week back in 1940 saw the publication of the first ever USA singles chart

It was just a Top 10 then and restricted to just a few artists due to the war years.

You can check it out (and listen to the first US #1) along with other chart archives HERE

First chart was dated July 27, 1940.

 

However, the chart published this week is dated July 24, so that it can be concluded this week it's been 70 years ;)
