Where Can I Find R&R Backcharts?

S

Skim

Are Radio & Records airplay charts from the past available anywhere, whether published in book form or online? I know Billboard has numerous books out, but I've never found anything for R&R. Ideas?
 
Thanks for the links. I didn't know the "peak position" site existed, nor did I think to use the Archive.
 
The peak position site rocks!

Look at how long Ace of Base's "The Sign" was on the CHR/Pop chart - nearly 8 months! The song zoomed up to number one pretty quickly, and just as it was slipping out of the top 5 it shot back up to number one. This has a lot to do with CHR radio's mentality back then claiming that there weren't a lot of true Pop hits in the mid 90s.
