Feature addition

[ReverseControl]

Hi, first thank you for making this. It is incredibly useful. Could you add the year in addition to the cover, group, title and rank?

How difficult would it to implement a function to ask for the top-100 of a given year, month or week?

As per the README, it is already possible to get the hot-100 list of a given week:

// date format YYYY-MM-DD

getChart('hot-100', '2016-08-27', function(err, songs) {
    if (err) console.log(err);
    console.log(songs); //prints array of top 100 songs for week of August 27, 2016
    console.log(songs[3]); //prints song with rank: 4 for week of August 27, 2016
    console.log(songs[0].title); //prints title of top song for week of August 27, 2016
    console.log(songs[0].artist); //prints artist of top songs for week of August 27, 2016
    console.log(songs[0].rank) //prints rank of top song (1) for week of August 27, 2016
    console.log(songs[0].cover) //prints URL for Billboard cover image of top song for week of August 27, 2016
});

This issue has been marked as an enhancement if another contributor would like to add the functionality for a given year or month.

@darthbatman Do you mean getting the hot-100 list of a given year or month?

Hello!

Is there a way to get a chart positions of a specific album on billboard charts, like

https://github.com/w74/billboard-api-php

[JasonLaw1994]

@bodzio166 I'm a little confused, what do you want to do?

[bodzio166]

Sure, let me explain: I am trying to get a charts position history for a specific album, for example "Thriller" by MJ. You get chart positions week by week when it was on billboards charts. After you can print out a graph out of it. This API had something like that, but is now dead...

[JasonLaw1994]

I don't think you can do it using pure billboard-top-100.js, but you can get the charts from startWeek to endWeek, and then do what you want to do with the data. And maybe here is not a good place to talk about something that's not related to the issue.
