"Top Records OF 1964 (Based on Billboard's Charts)
The information compiled for the Top Records of 1964 is based on the weekly chart positioning and length of time records were on the respective charts from the Billboard issue dates of January 3 through November 28, 1964. These recaps, as well as the weekly charts, do not reflect actual sales figures. The ratings take into account the number of weeks the disk was on the chart, plus the weekly positions it held during its chart life. Each disk was given points accordingly for its respective chart, and in addition, the No. 1 disk each week was assigned bonus points equal to the total number of positions on its respective chart.

Unfortunately, Billboard's late December print deadline prevented approximately 60 records from completing their full chart runs, and their formula also included approximately 50 records from 1963, some of which had enough points to rank in the 1964 chart. Joel Whitburn's Records Research books, archived issues of Billboard for November–December 1963 and December 1964-March 1965, and Hot 100 Year-End formulas were used to complete the December 26 year-end chart [[Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1964|reprinted here]].

The completed chart is composed of records that entered the [[Billboard Hot 100#History|Billboard Hot 100]] during November–December 1963 (only when the majority of chart weeks were in 1964), January to November–December 1964 (majority of chart weeks in 1964). Records with majority of chart weeks in 1963 or 1965 are included in the year-end charts for those years, respectively, and multiple appearances are not permitted. Each week fifteen points were awarded to the number one record, then nine points for number two, eight points for number three, and so on. The total points a record earned determined its year-end rank. The complete chart life of each record is represented, with number of points accrued. There are no ties, even when multiple records have the same number of points. The next ranking category is peak chart position, then weeks at peak chart position, weeks in top ten, weeks in top forty, and finally weeks on Hot 100 chart.

The chart can be sorted by Artist, Song title, Recording and Release dates, Cashbox year-end ranking (CB) or units sold (sales) by clicking on the column header. Additional details for each record can be accessed by clicking on the song title, and referring to the Infobox in the right column of the song page. [https://www.billboard.com/charts/ Billboard also has chart summaries] on its website. [https://web.archive.org/web/20081205052910/http://www.cashboxmagazine.com/archives/60s_files/1964YESP.html Cashbox rankings] were derived by same process as the Billboard rankings.
