The Calendar also has the Top 10 Best Selling

Singles - but that never changes. Plus the Top 10

DVD's, (all types), but I did not think that List

belonged here. Plus the Top 10 Christmas Period

Selling Singles in the UK - but, I was not sure if

anyone would be interested in that one. (It is the

Top Sellers DURING Christmas/New Year - which is

not the same as a Top 10 Christmas Singles - as in

Hits that have a 'Theme' of Christmas in them.

Although several of the Top 10 Christmas period

Hits are of that type).

 

If anyone would like me to add the other 3 Lists

- or some of them - just let me know.

Add in that last one, it sounds interesting. The first one we all already know and if not it's easy to find with a quick Google.

 

That's a bit of a vague description on the last list but post it anyway
