Is it...primary or secondary?

1 answer

The list of the top 10 songs published in Billboard magazine would be considered a primary source. Primary sources are original documents or records that provide direct evidence or firsthand accounts of a topic. Since Billboard publishes lists based on current music charts as they happen, the information they provide is original and contemporaneous to the events they are reporting on.
