Chart History
Review desk
CultureUp Editors

Introduces `/music-charts/history` as a source-safe Billboard archive workflow that links to official chart pages without scraping or republishing full rankings.

  • The desk builds official Billboard chart URLs by chart family and date for Hot 100, Billboard 200, Global 200, and Global Excl. U.S.
  • A decade navigator helps editors separate 1950s publication and component-chart history, modern Hot 100 history, album history, streaming-era claims, and post-2020 global-chart claims.
  • Claim templates help editors draft source-safe peak, debut, longevity, comparison, global, album, genre, method, re-entry, and career-milestone sentences before turning chart facts into stories.
  • A browser-local research notebook lets editors save chart-family/date/source notes without publishing or storing records server-side.
  • Release closeout covers lint, typecheck, production build, local `/music-charts/history` route validation, and browser notebook smoke evidence for the public notebook slice.
  • Historical eras separate publication roots, pre-Hot-100 component charts, album-list history, weekly album charts, Hot 100 history, and global streaming-era charts.
  • The feature does not copy full chart tables, backfill Global 200 claims before 2020, or treat pre-1958 component charts as Hot 100 data.

CultureUp Editors

Introduces `/music-charts` as a live public music-discovery surface while keeping chart claims source-labeled by platform and cadence.

  • The page reads compact Apple Music chart snapshots for selected storefronts and links to official chart sources for broader context.
  • The chart explorer lets readers filter regions, search artists or songs, refresh the public snapshot, and copy a source note.
  • Billboard, Spotify, and YouTube chart pages are linked as official references rather than scraped or republished as full tables.
  • Chart rows are labeled as platform-specific discovery context, not as sales, revenue, endorsement, or all-platform popularity claims.

Introduces `/stories/public-memory-pilot-first-story` as a policy-complete pilot candidate while keeping it out of sitemap and public story rails until owner indexing approval is granted.

  • The story record remains `indexable: false` until policy approval and owner-indexing checks are complete.
