Does a single page list of every Billboard #1 (US) ever exist somewhere online?

If this exists somewhere un-split by year then I would love to be able to look at it right now.

it's not all on one page but Billboard listed them all in chrono order when they got to the one thousands #1 a while back, which is the best i can do: http://www.billboard.com/html/1000s/1000s.html

I found this just by googling a string of titles ("poor little fool" + "blame it on the rain" + "one more night"):
http://markweb.us/numberonehits.html

The presentation is a bit weird: it's backward chronological until 2000 and then it goes in forward order from 1958 to 1999. But it's updated to the present, unlike some other sites I found.

The list of songs that hit #2 on that site is really interesting.

I love lists of #2s and #3s. Just one level down and you get much more variety and a much clearer overview of the passage of time in pop music. Power ballads usually dominate the #1 position, and they have such a uniform production style that if you only look at the #1s, you miss some of the more important changes & shifts in pop music.

it truly boggles my mind when people do things like this! still, it's a good resource! i'm not sure what purposes roxy had in mind, but it would be fun to make a playlist out of it. "i only listen to #1 hits"

1963 #1 list is so awesome. the beatles should have stayed home.

Re: that YouTube chart page. I can tell from just the video title and screencap alone that Pentatonix is absolutely terrible.
