Billboard's first music chart, the "National List of Best Selling Retail Records", was published on July 27, 1940. The chart was based on information from national retailers, including Sears, Roebuck & Co., and J.B. Branford Piano Co. It covered retail sales, sheet music sales, jukebox song selection, and radio play.
The first number-one song on the chart was "I'll Never Smile Again" by Tommy Dorsey.
