The really great news is that a very
ambitious individual,

"Lance.xls").
It contains the most important data for years 1955 through 1999, namely:
(1) Year peaked & rank (in "yy_nnn" format)
(2) Artist name
(3) Peak position
(4) Song title
(5) Song length (time "m:ss")
(6) Chart debut (date "mm/dd/yy")
