The Hit Parade numbers can be divided into 3 groups with the top 3 lines forming one group, the middle four lines forming another group (Inside), and the bottom 3 lines forming another group. If we classify the top and bottom groups as Outside Numbers, then this general rule holds true:

Outside numbers are followed by Inside numbers.
