As far as legal issues go, I was always told it was better to be safe than sorry.
Be that as it may, I emailed Jimbo, and he says that we should keep the BIllboard info in the artist/song/album articles, and delete articles dedicated to re-listing, for example, the Hot 100 #1 hits and such.

"A lesson to me?" I don't really care either way whether or not
Wikipedia
lists Billboard information; the legality of the issue was something
that
peopel felt should be inquired about (the question has been o nthe table
for
quite some time), and so it was. It's better to research something than
to
turn a blind eye to what very well could be an unallowable use of propriatery information.
Not from a legal standpoint.
