OKAY-so what happened to Sweet Little 16 and Rock and Roll Music, both very big hits in the USA?

Rock and Roll Music charted in 1957, one year before the Billboard Hot 100 was created. Therefore, it is not included.

Similarly, Sweet Little Sixteen charted in January 1958, 6 months before the Hot 100 was created.

Also both are not included in the Chuck Berry chart history page on the Billboard website.

Billboard surveys were around long before Ricky Nelson's "Poor Little Fool" in August of 1958, was the first #1 record on the Hot 100. You cannot discount any music before that time because national surveys did exist. They calculated in a variety of ways. You have to go back before they started the HOT 100. They called it the Honor Roll of Hits. They were calculated from radio stations, jukeboxes, as well as record sales in stores. According to Billboard , Sweet Little 16 was #2, School Day was #3, Rock & Roll Music was #8, and Johnny B Goode was #8. These, beside My Ding-A-Ling, were Chuck Berry's biggest selling records. And I know, because I was around when they were released.

Ok I totally understand this and I get where you are coming from with this. In fact, I totally agree that those particular Chuck Berry songs should be mentioned by Billboard particularly on chart history pages. I have put a rule at the top of the quiz explaining this, but I am referring to the songs mentioned in the Chuck Berry chart history page on the current Billboard website, which only refers to the songs that charted on the Billboard Hot 100 after it was officially released in August 4th, 1958. I am fully aware that there were charts that existed before the Hot 100 was developed, and I am aware and will not discredit the fact that there were numerous Chuck Berry songs that became massive hits in the 50s before the Hot 100 was created. However, this quiz is specifically referring to the Chuck Berry songs that were hits after the Hot 100 was publicly released.

I'm so sorry if I've caused any confusion. Again, I get your point and I really should have explained myself better.
