The UK official charts website removed the Scottish Singles chart archive but it is possible to find it typing on Google.

 

Looking now everything disappeared (chart position, Info etc etc)

 

https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/scott...rt/20201204/41/

 

Someone have saved the archive somewhere?

Thanks

 

Why would they do that?

Who knows. The chart was posted on the website till 2020, after becoming just a physical chart only.

It's still published on chartplus.

No one?

I guess they just decided there's no point in compiling it anymore, since they have no way of separating the streams for Scotland vs rest of UK and the sales chart is virtually meaningless these days. I imagine the #1 on the Scottish chart was only doing about 100 sales per week. :(

Individual charts that got saved might be viewable on the Wayback Machine (archive.org). Don't know how regularly if at all that section of the site would have been archived though.

I think it is mid 2010 that ChartsPlus begins to print in the charts as a separate entity. Prior, from about 2003, they were alongside the Top 200.

 

If you go here

https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/scott...rt/20050515/41/

for example

 

the chart is printed in order, but without the positions printed.

 

Some of the charts above are not ones present some time before, in the previous iteration of the OCC database. Under that version I did save the weekly charts that exist from 1994-2017, so 1, 196 weekly charts are presented in the link below.

It looks to me like all, or almost all, of them are there.

Thanks, I'll check it.

How can I open the links?

How can I open the links?

Step 1: Pick a chart

Step 2: Click on the earliest possible year that has a bar (in this case 2018)

Step 3: Mouse over a date on the calender that has a circle, and click an available snapshot

Step 4: Bear with the loading screen

Step 5: Success, I believe.
