Song Years Chart
This page lists the biggest hit of each year in the 90 source charts. The way that the various charts are combined to reach this final list is described in the described here.
For years before 1950 the source data is quite sparse, so the results should be treated with some caution. For years before 1920 there is so little source data that the results are close to meaningless.
There are also a set of pages that compare success in these total charts, in North America and in Europe.

Song
What year did the song "Ruby" which Mel Tillis wrote for Kenny Rogers become a hit?
There are two different ways to answer that question here, one is to go to the list of top artists and find "Kenny Rodgers". The other is to look at the site index for the word "Ruby".
Either route will take you to the page listing Kenny Rodgers' songs. Which shows that the song "Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town" was a hit in 1969.
Johnny Darrell and Waylon Jennings both released versions before "Kenny Rogers & the First Edition" released it.
