The problem would be, you still couldn't post your top 10 as the Billboard
top 10.  And when Billboard published the results of their research, it
wouldn't be infringing on your list, even if the songs were the same.

There is absolutly nothing stopping you from publishing your own top 10
though.  You could draw the names out of a hat and have as much claim to
accuracy as anybody else.

If week after week you came up with the same results as Billboard, you
better have your methodolgy documented somewhere.
