Hi all!

This may have been covered elsewhere (if it has apologies and please someone point me to it), but I am trying to find any definitive chart listings (no 1s, top 10s etc) for the Network Chart from the inception in Sept 1984 onwards. Number ones were different etc, and whilst the Official Charts are what we all use - it's great to see the differences that these charts threw up. Is there a website or book that has these listed? Any help really appreciated!

Excellent - thanks

Any more detailed charts anyone?

There have been Network chart fact books in the distant past by David Kid Jensen but not sure they had full chart listing ones. Number One magazine used to publish them in full from 85-90.But imagine a job to get all of those! I remember crazy differences like Partners in Kryme entering at 4 officially but 36 or something silly on Network chart.

Music Week printed it at one stage, and so most can be found, but the ones I can't find relate to 1984.
Note that from August 1993 the No 1s on the Network Chart will match those of the official CIN chart, as a decision was made to align the Top 10 of the former will the latter, so in effect the Network (or 'Pepsi' chart as it had become by then to reflect their sponsorship arrangement) was split between a sales-only official Top 10 and airplay-cum-sales unofficial Bottom 30 (although I think from this point as part of the deal the compilation of the chart was overseen by CIN and later OCC).
