[78-L] Billboard charts

[David Lennick]

Every ODJB title on CD 1 is listed in Whitburn and follows the same sequence. 
The only two titles not on that CD are the last two (Bow Bow Blues and Some Of 
These Days). Looks as if they're following Whitburn for sequencing and 
chronological order, mixing other artists in between them, but I haven't seen 
any specific reference to chart positions of any kind yet.
