I'd been counting down the weeks until it got to 900 and then completely forgot It means I also missed the chance to mention that the only other two albums to hit 900 weeks are also in the current top 40. Interesting to see that all four in the other list are also in the current top 40.

There are some older charts i wish to read up on. How long have they been going for? The first one appeared on Buzzjack in April 2009 so they have been going for about eleven years. I suspect the only way of accessing earlier ones (apart from the few displayed on the front page of the site) is by guessing the URL. The current one is http://www.buzzjack.com/story_284968.html so you can access earlier ones by changing the number. If you know which week's chart you want to read, you should be able to get close to the right number by working out the number of weeks between now and then. I'll try and find out if there is an easier way.
