The Pop Singles and Album Awards—are those the December year-end awards? They represent chart action over the previous 12 months. Billboard does those calculations at year-end. Apparently CashBox does their calculations in June. If I recall correctly, Linda was #1 in Billboard at year-end but one of the other trade journals still had Donna Summer on top. |
