The chart was founded in 1952 by Percy Dickins of NMEwho telephoned 20 record stores to ask what their top 10 highest-selling jesus were. - The forerunner of today's official chart first appeared in the music trade publication Record Retailer now Music Week in March 1960 as a Top 50, but was not immediately recognised as the definitive chart in the country. Official Chart kitemark icon The UK Singles Chart currently entitled Official Singles Chart is compiled by the OCC , on behalf of the British , listing the top-selling singles in the , based upon physical sales, paid-for downloads and. The Official Chart, broadcast on BBC Radio 1 and MTV Official UK Top 40 , is the UK music industry's recognised official measure of singles and albums popularity because it is the most comprehensive research panel of its kind, today surveying over 15,000 retailers and digital services daily, capturing 99. To be eligible for the chart, a is currently defined by the OCC as either a 'single bundle' having no more than four tracks and not lasting longer than 25 minutes or one digital audio track not longer than 15 minutes with a minimum sale price of 40 pence. The rules have changed many times as technology has developed, the most notable being the inclusion of digital downloads in 2005 and streaming in July 2014. The OCC website contains the Top 100 chart. Some media outlets only list the Top 40 such as the BBC or the Top 75 such as magazine of this list. The chart week runs from 00:01 Friday to midnight Thursday, with most UK physical and digital singles being released on Fridays. From 3 August 1969 until 5 July 2015, the chart week ran from 00:01 Sunday to midnight Saturday. The Top 40 chart is first issued on Friday afternoons by as from 16:00 to 17:45, before the full Official Singles Chart Top 100 is posted on the Official Charts Company's website. A rival chart show, , is based on iTunes downloads and commercial radio airplay across the Global Radio network only, is broadcast on Sunday afternoons from 16:00 to 19:00 on 145 local commercial radio stations across the United Kingdom. The Big Top 40 is not officially regarded by the industry or wider media. The UK Singles Chart began to be compiled in 1952. According to the Official Charts Company's statistics, as of 1 July 2012, 1,200 singles have topped the UK Singles Chart. The precise number of chart-toppers is debatable due to the profusion of competing charts from the 1950s to the 1980s, but the usual list used is that endorsed by the and subsequently adopted by the Official Charts Company. The company regards a selected period of the chart only from 1952 to 1960 and the chart from 1960 to 1969 as predecessors for the period prior to 11 February 1969, where multiples of competing charts none official coexisted side by side. For example, the BBC compiled its own chart based on an average of the music papers of the time; many songs announced as having reached number one on BBC Radio and prior to 1969 are not listed as chart-toppers according to the legacy criteria of the Charts Company. As of the week ending date 25 October 2018, the UK Singles Chart has had 1345 different number-one hits. Early charts Before the compilation of sales of records, the music market measured a song's popularity by sales of. The idea of compiling a chart based on sales originated in the , where the music-trade paper compiled the first chart incorporating sales figures on 20 July 1940. Record charts in the UK began in 1952, when Percy Dickins of the gathered a pool of 52 stores willing to report sales figures. For the first British chart Dickins telephoned approximately 20 shops, asking for a list of the 10 best-selling songs. The chart became a successful feature of the periodical; it expanded into a Top 20 format on 1 October 1954, and rival publications began compiling their own charts in 1955. The NME chart was based on a telephone poll. Both charts expanded in size, with Mirror 's becoming a Top 20 in October 1955 and NME 's becoming a Top 30 in April 1956. Another rival publication, , began compiling its own chart; it telephoned 19 stores to produce a Top 20 for 7 April 1956. It was also the first chart to include Northern Ireland in its sample. Record Mirror began running a Top 5 album chart in July 1956; from November 1958 onwards it was run by NME. In March 1960, began compiling an album chart and had a Top 50 singles chart. Although NME had the largest circulation of charts in the 1960s and was widely followed, in March 1962 Record Mirror stopped compiling its own chart and published Record Retailer 's instead. Retailer began independent auditing in January 1963, and has been used by the UK Singles Chart as the source for number-ones since the week ending 12 March 1960. The choice of Record Retailer as the source has been criticised; however, the chart was unique in listing close to 50 positions for the whole decade. Additionally, Retailer was set up by independent record shops and had no funding or affiliation with record companies. However, it had a significantly smaller sample size than some rival charts. Before February 1969 when the British Market Research Bureau BMRB chart was established , there was no official chart or universally accepted source. Readers followed the charts in various periodicals and, during this time, the used aggregated results of charts from the NME, Melody Maker, Disc and later Record Mirror to compile the chart. However, until 1969 the Record Retailer chart was only seen by people working in the industry. The most widely circulated chart was the NME one, as used by 's legendary Sunday night Top 20 show, as well as by ABC TV's , which had an audience of up to 6 million on. Official chart Before 1969 there was no official singles chart. Record Retailer and the commissioned the British Market Research Bureau BMRB to compile charts, beginning 15 February 1969. The BMRB compiled its first chart from postal returns of sales logs from 250 record shops. The sampling cost approximately 52,000; shops were randomly chosen from a pool of approximately 6,000, and submitted figures for sales taken up to the close of trade on Saturday. The sales diaries were translated into so the data could be interpreted by a computer. A computer then compiled the chart on Monday, and the BBC were informed of the Top 50 on Tuesday in time for it to be announced on. However, the BMRB often struggled to have the full sample of sales figures returned by post. The meant data had to be collected by telephone, but this was deemed inadequate for a national chart; by 1973, the BMRB was using to collect sales figures. In May 1978, the singles chart was expanded from a Top 50 to a Top 75. A documentary exposé in 1980 revealed corruption within the industry; stores' chart-returns dealers would frequently be offered bribes to falsify sales logs. Electronic-age charts From 1983 to 1990, the chart was financed by BPI 50 percent , 38 percent and the BBC 12 percent. In July 1987, Gallup signed a new agreement with BPI, increasing the sample size to approximately 500 stores and introducing to read data. The chart was based entirely on sales of vinyl single records from retail outlets and announced on Tuesday until October 1987, when the Top 40 was revealed each Sunday due to the new, automated process. Following this, the reduced the minimum price for cassette singles to influence sales figures. In September 1989, began to send sales data to Gallup directly through terminals. From 1 July 1990, the Chart Information Network CIN was formed by publisher of , in cooperation with the BBC and the British Association of Record Dealers BARD — representing retailers, including W H Smith, , and — who agreed to exclusively supply sales data to the CIN. A Chart Supervisory Committee CSC represented the BBC, CIN and retailers. For this period, the chart was produced by Gallup and owned by CIN and Music Week who would then sell it to the BBC and BPI. In January 1991 the CIN became a joint venture between Link House Magazines formerly Spotlight Publications, later and the BPI; they shared the revenue and costs reportedly between £750,000 and £1 million. During this time, other retailers such as Woolworths and began submitting data using EPoS terminals. In late 1991 the sample consisted of 500 stores scanning barcodes of all record sales into an computer, and 650 other stores providing sales data through their own EPoS computerised. These computers were to be telephoned six times a week, providing the data to Gallup. In June 1991, the BPI reduced the number of eligible from five to four. In February 1993 the research contract for the chart was put out to , with a new four-year contract beginning 1 February 1994 offered. In May, it was announced that Millward Brown had been accepted as the next chart compilers, signing a £1-million-a-year contract. Gallup attempted to block Millward Brown's new chart by complaining to the about the contractual clause in which BARD retailers exclusively supplied sales data to the CIN, but the was rejected. In June 1995 the case was dropped, after the clause allowing BARD retailers to supply sales information to other chart compilers was deleted; because CIN retained the copyright, other compilers could not use or sell the information. On 2 April 1995, the number of eligible formats was reduced from four to three. The decision came after nine months of negotiations with BARD, which objected that it would adversely affect the vinyl record industry. Although record labels were not prohibited from releasing singles in more than three formats, they were required to identify the three eligible formats. This resulted in a reduction in the number of singles released in format; the most common three formats were , and , or a cassette and two CD versions. Subsequently, CIN sought to develop new marketing opportunities and sponsorship deals; these included premium-rate fax and telephone services and the chart newsletters Charts+Plus published from May 1991 to November 1994 and published from September 1992 to May 2001. Beginning in May 1991 Charts+Plus featured singles charts with positions 76—200 plus artist albums positions 76—150, Top 50 compilations, and several genre and format charts. In November 1994, Charts+Plus ceased publication; Hit Music expanded its chart coverage to an uncompressed without special rules Top 200 Singles, Top 150 Artists Albums and Top 50 Compilations. In November 1996, the Artist Albums chart extended to a Top 200. Hit Music ceased publication in May 2001 with issue number 439. In February 1997, CIN and BARD agreed to a new 18-month deal for the charts. In 1998 the CSC agreed to new rules reducing the number of tracks on a single from four to three, playing time from 25 minutes to 20 and the compact disc single minimum dealer price to £1. This particularly affected the dance music industry which had previously released CD's full of remixes, with some labels having to edit or fade out remixes early in order to fit them on a CD single. On 1 July 1998, BARD and BPI took over management of the chart from the CIN a Miller Freeman and BPI venture with new company Music Industry Chart Services Mics ; however, in August they decided to return to compiling the charts under the name CIN. Towards the end of the 1990s companies anticipated distributing singles over the Internet, following the example of and who made 2,000 tracks available for digital download in the US. Legal downloading was initially small, with MyCokeMusic selling over 100,000 downloads during its first three months. In June the was launched in the UK, and more than 450,000 songs were downloaded during the first week. In 2005, presented his final UK Top 40 show, concluding his tenure at Radio 1. The chart show was then rebranded for the chart week ending 16 April, and the first singles chart combining physical-release sales with legal downloads began. Several test charts and a download-sales chart were published in 2004; this combination within the official singles chart reflected a changing era in which sales of physical singles fell and download sales rose. On 17 April 2005, hosts JK and Joel commented during their broadcast that the incorporation of download sales resulted in an approximate doubling of singles sales for the week. For the first week's combined chart the impact of this doubling was not readily apparent at the top of the chart, although a few singles in the middle positions benefited. Initially, the British Association of Record Dealers was concerned that the popularity of downloading would siphon business from the. However, it agreed to the new rules provided that digital sales were only included to a single's sales tally if there was a physical equivalent sold in shops at the time. This allowed it to debut in the chart at number 22 eventually reaching number 2 , and remain in the Top 40 for a longer period. After pressure from elsewhere in the music industry a second compromise was reached in 2006, which now allowed singles to chart on downloads the week before their physical release. Over the coming months digital sales continued to increase whilst physical sales continued to fall; more artists entered the top 40 early, and fewer singles entered the chart directly at number 1. Whilst initially the proportion of digital sales to physical sales in the combined tally was relatively low, a majority of singles by 2012 saw more than 50 percent of their sales coming from online. Sales through mobile phones are also counted. The impetus this time was Puff Daddy's recent performance of a new version of the track at the at. None of these songs had been officially re-issued. Unlike the previous 10, it did not receive a physical release in subsequent weeks although it was released physically overseas, notably in Germany. This was the result of a campaign urging people to download the song in a bid to prevent winning song from becoming the Christmas No. The song originally peaked at No. New rules were added to the chart on 16 September 2007 to include one-track CD singles with a limit of 15 minutes and to retail at a minimum of 40p per one-track CD single. A notable effect of the new chart rules is to demonstrate the enduring appeal of many downloads, especially if a physical copy is no longer or never has been available. Numerous other hits are on for more than 40 weeks. Another consequence of the chart rules is that in the event of a new album release by a well-known artist, all or most of its tracks could appear on the singles chart due to buyers downloading individual songs rather than the complete album. There was no significant example of this until early October 2007, with the cast of placing six of its songs in the Top 75 although these were credited to their individual performers and a further four just outside. A month later, placed five tracks from her album simultaneously on the singles chart. Another example was anticipated with the arrival of ' catalogue online, with forecasters predicting the entire top 10 being taken up by Beatles songs. Yet another effect of the new rules was the reappearance in the chart of a number of seasonal favourites during Christmas 2007. A total of 19 achieved this without being officially re-issued on downloads alone. Two of these by and , reached the Top 5. Eleven Christmas hits returned to the Top 75 for Christmas 2008, nine in 2009, eight in 2010 and twelve in 2011, with the Mariah Carey and Pogues songs faring best each year. The death of on 25 June 2009 triggered a surge in sales of his recordings; this was the first time in the download era that the effect of a major star's death on the chart could be observed. During the week beginning 28 June, a total of 16 of his solo hits plus four more by re-entered the chart. The second chart invasion of the download era resulting from the death of a major artist was observed in late July 2011 following the death of , with seven former singles charting and one other song appearing for the first time. It was announced in June 2014 that as of Sunday, 29 June, audio streams from services such as , , , O2 Tracks, , Sony Unlimited and would be counted towards the Official Singles Chart, in order to reflect changing music consumption in the United Kingdom. On 10 March 2017, claimed 9 of the top 10 positions in the chart when his album was released. The large number of tracks from the album on the singles chart, 16 in the top 20, led to a change in how the chart is compiled with tracks from a lead artist eligible for entry limited to three. Comparison of singles charts 1952—1969 Main article: With no official chart before 1969, a number of periodicals compiled their own charts during the 1950s and 1960s. Not included in the Pick of the Pops average until 31 March 1962. The streams were initially counted at 100 streams equivalent to one paid download or physical sale, but changed to 150 to 1 in January 2017. Starting with charts published 7 July 2017, tracks by a lead artist eligible for entry in the top 100 would be limited to three. The streams-to-sales ratio for tracks whose sales including streams have declined for three consecutive weeks and have charted for at least ten weeks is changed to 300:1 to accelerate removal of older songs.

Using the NME, Melody Maker, Disc and Record Mirror charts, the BBC averaged them by totalling points gained on the four charts one point for a number one, two for a number two, etc. Record Retailer was included in the average on 31 March 1962, after Record Mirror ceased compiling its chart. Freeman took Pick of the Pops to its regular Sunday afternoon slot in early 1962. Freeman along with , and was one of the four original presenters on , which first aired 1 January 1964 on then known as BBC TV. Top of the Pops, like Pick of the Pops, used a combination of predominant periodicals until the formation of the BMRB chart in 1969. From 30 September 1967 was launched along with , succeeding the Light Programme, and the Top-20 Pick of the Pops chart was simulcast on both stations. Freeman continued to present the show until 1972, and was succeeded by. Bates was succeeded by , who presented the show for two-and-a-half years; , who presented for two years, Bates returned in January 1984 and presented the show until September that year, then for eighteen months. In 1990, Brookes was replaced as presenter by , but returned 18 months later. Goodier took over from Brookes once more in 1995 and continued presenting the show until 2002. In February 2003 hosted the chart show; two years later his contract was not renewed, and he was replaced by. The duo were made redundant by Radio 1 in September 2007; and replaced them at the helm of the chart show. Cotton left in September 2009, and until 2012 the chart show was hosted by Yates. Yates left Radio 1 at the end of 2012, because he wanted to spend more time with his family, as well as focusing more on television. On 10 July 2015, took over from Amfo, when the new chart announcement was moved to Friday afternoons. Midweek chart updates From March 2010 hosted a half-hour show at 3:30 pm on Wednesdays, announcing a chart update based on midweek sales figures previously only available to the industry. When the chart moved to Fridays in July 2015, the chart update moved to 5:30 pm on Mondays. The show was then once again hosted by Greg James and the top ten songs are quickly overviewed with the top three being played in full before at 5:45. It is currently presented by due to his swap of times with Greg James. In 1999, the chart was sponsored by worldpop. However, the deal ended when the website went out of business in late 2001. As part of an agreement with to publish the UK chart in section of their magazine, Billboard required the chart to have a sponsor. In 2003, it was announced that had signed a two-year contract with the Official Charts Company beginning 1 January 2004. Although the amount was not publicly disclosed, it was believed to be between 1. Since advertising on the BBC is prohibited under the and the government was attempting to reduce , the decision was widely criticised. Coca-Cola was restricted to two on-air mentions during the chart show, with the BBC justifying the deal by saying it did not negotiate or benefit financially. A few days into the contract, the BBC agreed to drop on-air mentions of the brand. Retrieved 12 March 2018. Retrieved 1 June 2015. Retrieved 24 June 2014. Retrieved 15 March 2018.
