Sometimes, Chuck Berry's songs were released in the UK in a different year than in the US. Also, the songs on the "A-side" and "B-side" of a single could be different between the US and UK versions.
For the year 1964, the R&B chart positions come from Cash Box magazine. This is because Billboard magazine did not publish a separate R&B singles chart that year.
