UK Top Singles of the 1990s

These pages list of the Top 100 UK Singles of each year in the 1990's, as researched and pulbished at the Dotmusic chat site by the user Anorak. He is now compiling a list for all of the 1990's, including a Top 3000 of the Decade. If I get other lists from him, I will pulbish them too. As of June 1999, the original posts can be found by clicking here. If other years have been posted to this topic, but not published here, mail me, and I'll try to add them. Thanks, again Anorak, for the work.

I make no guarantee as to the accuracy of information on these pages, But here is Anorak's explanation of how he came up with the rankings: "The formula is a simple one in which in any given week, the number of points for the No.1 are double the points for No.2, triple the points for No.3 etc. Thus a record spending one week at No.20 will get the same amount of points as a record spending two weeks at No.40. The value 40320 points was chosen for #1 as it allows all positions in the Top Ten to score whole numbers of points." Hence, the Scoring for each week would look like this:
 

Pos Points Pos Points Pos Points Pos Points
#1 40320 11 3665 21 1920 31 1301
#2 20160 12 3360 22 1833 32 1260
#3 13440 13 3102 23 1753 33 1222
#4 10080 14 2880 24 1680 34 1186
#5 8064 15 2688 25 1613 35 1152
#6 6720 16 2520 26 1551 36 1120
#7 5760 17 2372 27 1493 37 1090
#8 5040 18 2240 28 1440 38 1061
#9 4480 19 2122 29 1390 39 1034
#10 4032 20 2016 30 1344 40 1008

As a personal note, while I don't think this method would translate well to North American charts, where songs tend to have a longer chart life, it's probably reasonable for the the more volatile UK Charts. More charts as soon as I can get 'em.

If you enjoy chart trivia, you may want to vist my own website, RockGolf, The World-Wide Pop Music Game. Each week there's one pop music question where the answer is a song title or artist name. But there are several correct answers. The trick is to try to find answer that has the lowest combination of chart peak and duplications.
