The New Musical Express began publication of their weekly Best Selling Records Chart in November 1952. Detailed analysis of all the entries from that date are included in that bible of all chart fanatics 'The Guinness Book of British Hit Singles'.

It should be noted however that the early years could not be covered in such depth as... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ChardonnayPascoe) http://whirligigtv.yuku.com/topic/3755 Sun, 16 Jul 2006 22:52:56 GMT http://whirligigtv.yuku.com/topic/3756/t/Complete-UK-Charts-1952-59.html
The positions will be displayed in table form, in chronological order, starting with monthly tables for the NME charts, and progressing to weekly tables with a column for each chart, for easy comparison between charts.

Before 1956, the NME always listed each side of a double A-side single separately on the chart, with the sole exception of the Rosemary Clooney/Jos Ferrer hit from 1954. This would seem to be a reasonable exception, as both sides were effectively the same song... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Vicky Williams) http://whirligigtv.yuku.com/topic/3757 Tue, 25 Apr 2006 09:25:11 GMT http://whirligigtv.yuku.com/topic/3759/t/Disc-Singles-Charts-1958-64.html

I'm determined to put together a book containing a definitive set of 50s and 60s UK charts, even if it doesn't get published (and there's at least one legal problem standing in my way).

One of the most complicated (and fascinating) issues is the vast array of different charts available in the days before any chart was described as "official".

These charts are as follows (all dates are week ending... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Vicky Williams) http://whirligigtv.yuku.com/topic/3762 Sun, 05 Mar 2006 17:36:00 GMT http://whirligigtv.yuku.com/topic/3753/t/Great-Site-for-The-Big-Bands.html Listen to some great shows.....

The chart was a Top 30 compiled using a points system whereby the singles in the NME Top 30 were awarded 30 points for the #1, 29 for the #2, and so on down to 1 point for the #30. The other charts, which were Top 20s, were probably awarded 20... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Vicky Williams) http://whirligigtv.yuku.com/topic/3765 Mon, 14 Nov 2005 21:43:05 GMT http://whirligigtv.yuku.com/topic/3771/t/Stereophonic-Recording.html

Back in the nineteen thirties Westrex had a virtual monopoly on electrical recording apparatus and at the time, the hard truth was that Westrex supplied the benchmark systems but they were agonizingly costly and it did not end there, if you installed Westrex technology royalties came as an essential element of the deal.
