Points Points for the yearly charts are calculated using inverse points from the weekly charts. Each week, the # 1 song gets 20 points, the # 2 song gets 19 points, # 3 gets 18, and so on. The # 20 song gets 1 point. Each song's points are added up for each week to reach the total. A song's entire chart run will be used for the yearly chart. Songs appear on the yearly chart corresponding to the year they peak on the weekly charts. Tie-Breakers For songs that tie in points on the yearly charts, the following tie-breakers are used: 1. Most weeks at # 1 2. Most weeks at # 2 3. Most weeks at # 3 4. Most weeks at # 4 5. Etc. If songs remain tied after all 20 tie-breakers, then they will be listed as tied on the yearly chart. Tied songs appear in alphabetical order, and are marked by letters, for example: 99A and 99B.
