Check your PM, I answered your question.

Thank you, PopArchivist! Paul C, it's so interesting how
a lot of these "airplay only" hits received only 7"
single releases.

Billboard stopped counting 45s towards the Hot 100
when they changed chart formulas in November 1991. I
don't believe this was ever directly mentioned
though...it was a friend of mine who owned a record
store near Syracuse NY that told me. I went thru old
Billboard magazines trying to find where this was
mentioned and I never found it.

As a vinyl collector I was pleased when 7-inch singles
were released, but as the same time surprised at some
of the songs that were released on this format during
the '90s.

I think vinyl jukeboxes were still pretty big during
that decade, especially in the country format, which
is why many of these exist.

When chart rules changed again in December 1998, these
were allowed to chart again. AFAIK, there hasn't been
a commercially-released 7-inch single on the Hot 100
since Kelly Clarkson's "Behind These Hazel Eyes" in
2005.
