What is Pop Music Chart Day?

Pop Music Chart Day on January 4 marks the date in 1936 when Billboard magazine published its first music popularity chart, a list of the most-played songs on network radio. The first song at the top was Stop! Look! Listen! by Joe Venuti and his orchestra. Charts went on to shape the music industry for decades, from the Hot 100 to today's streaming rankings, and the day is a fun excuse to look up what was number one in the year you were born.
