I just went to Billboard's Radio Monitor website (where I check out the weekly Adult Top 40 chart) and got a shock when it opened as Radio & Records. Doing a little research, I found out that the company that owns Billboard now also owns Radio & Records and merge it with its Radio Monitor publication.
Just offering this for information purposes.

Does anyone collect year-end R&R issues, by chance? I purchased a chart pack from R&R back in the early 2000s with every year-end chart, starting with the first one in '73 or '74. I managed to keep it updated for the most part, but I'm missing a couple of the years.
Also, my chart pack included the "records reaching the top 15" pages for every year except 1995. Did they just forget to include them in my chart pack, or did they not publish those pages in '95?

I just checked, and my missing R&R years are 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2008. The '06 to '08 years aren't really that important to me, though, because I have the Mediabase year-end charts for those years. Does anyone have 2004 that would be willing to help me out? :D

Aaron - I bought the same package, but I got mine in 1998, so I have 1998 and older...

Thanks, John! I have the CHR list, probably from that exact same source, but I was looking for ALL the year end charts (not just the CHR), plus the "records reaching the top 15" pages.
Ron, do your 1995 charts have those "top 15" pages? If so, I would love to trade you scans of later years you are missing in exchange for scans of those.

Aaron, I too bought the R&R Year-end pack which also had the top 15 pages. If I recall, I bought mine around the mid-90s and it may or may not have the 1995 one. I'll check and get back to you.

If you go back to the home page of that site, I believe you'll see from the main menu that you'll find what you are looking for.

Thanks again, John! I have definitely been to this site before and had it bookmarked. It's a great resource! I still want photocopies of the '04 charts, though :D

Another resource - http://www2.uta.edu/hunt/charts/chart.html
I sent the site owner a few corrected dates on there, but on the whole it's pretty accurate, and it's very nice to have online.
Checked my R&R packet, and no, my 1995 stuff just has the Top 95 of each chart, no all-top-15-hits lists.

Thanks for checking, Ron! I've also visited the uta.edu site frequently. The professor who maintains it teaches at a college just 45 minutes away from me.
