During the 1960s, record charts were not based on sales of any kind. Shops supplied the big music papers with lists of 50 records that were selling in that particular shop. The music papers (themselves) took up to 200 charts from various shops across the UK & Ireland & added all those shop charts together to create their own top 100s.

 

Various top singles charts of the 1960s have been put together over the years, based on records that were shipped from factory to shop. They give an idea of what the top singles of the 1960s decade were, but they do not take into account the number of unsold records that were returned to the factories, as unsold material.

 

We've had a look at some of those shipments, fed them into a database, looked at average sales by month, year by year in the 60s, decided what may or may have not been returned unsold to the factory. Then looked at 7 different sets of weekly 1960s singles charts to determine how singles were averagely doing & come up with the Top 200 of the 1960s. By doing this we hope to have a 1960s chart of the decade, that is probably more accurate than some that have been put together before. We must always remember though, that during the 60s, there was no chart based on sales & nothing official was ever put into useage.

 

Only 1960s information has been used i.e. there are no crossovers out of the 50s or into the 70s. The chart covers wk ending 9th Jan 1960 to w/k ending 10th Jan 1970.
