I've found a huge dabase of USA TOP 100 single charts from 1950 to 1996 week by week, plus YEAR-END CHARTS:

I was surprised it states that Radio Ga Ga's peak position was No 14, not 16, and re-released BoRha in 1992 made No 1, not 2.

Maybe these charts arent equal to Billboard charts, but other data, as I remember, tallies (for example, AOBTD was 4 wks, and CLTCL 3 weeks at No 1, AOBTD spent 34 weeks in charts, Killer Queen's peak pos was No 12, WATC - No 4 and so on)
Any ideas what's true?
By the way Queen in 1980 were really huge in USA, maybe even No 1, according to year-end charts of 1980, AOBTD was best selling single, and CLTCL and The Game No 5:
