From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Your Hit Parade
was an American radio and television music program that was broadcast from 1935 to 1953 on radio, and seen from 1950 to 1959 on television. In 1935, they began publishing the earliest weekly music chart, preceding the
Billboard
singles chart, which was updated weekly by the
Billboard
magazine beginning on July 27, 1940.
The
Your Hit Parade
chart was established in April 1935, which operated under a proprietary formula to determine the popularity of a song based on five factors, including 1) record sales (divided between a) retail and b) wholesale), 2) sheet-music copies of the song (both retail and wholesale), 3) number of radio plays, a category that is sub-divided between a) plays on the three national networks and b) plays on local stations, 4) plays on
jukeboxes
, and 5) numbers of requests to orchestra leaders to play a particular song.
[1]
As such, though the musicians who popularized each song are credited with having done so, this is not exactly the same as them having made a hit record.
