Looking at which tracks have gained/lost places, it would appear that the original chart had some download sales missing (the tracks that have lost positions look as though they would have been predominantly physical-sellers). The biggest position change is Insomnia, which is now 7 places higher - this was charting (almost) exclusively on downloads, made chart-eligible by a limited physical re-issue a few months earlier (it received a physical re-issue a couple of weeks later, reaching #17).

Interesting. Has this new version of the chart just recently appeared or might it have been like this since the archive was added a number of years ago? The differences are very subtle so I'm wondering if it's just that when the archive was added it amounted to a rerun of the chart. I'm sure there are a number of other charts where there has been what seems to be a rerun of the chart. There's an old thread here at Buzzjack about some of the changes including one where a record was suddenly elevated into the top 40 when it didn't make it at the time (or maybe it was the other way around and it was demoted from the top 40).

Interesting indeed - fortunately no track appears to have been 'demoted' out of the Top 75 by this apparent re-run. Just a re-configuration of existing positions within the last 36 of that part of the chart. I certainly don't recall any indication that there had been any known errors with the published version, either at the time or since.

It does look like it's just the way that the OCC have exported the chart from their database to the archive. kingofskiffle gave a good explanation at Haven:

That particular chart was missing from the archive when it was first uploaded - that whole week was, with 10 Sep being the first since 30 April for a whole host of charts.

On 18 Mar 2021 I downloaded that week and the download matches the chart as now shown on their website.

23 Dec 1995 is also in error on their website (10 and 9 swapped, and new entry for the same record at 61 for the version LOCDP376 which, when combined, elevates it to 9 overall).

I agree that something would be missing from the lower down sales on 3 Sep, or they just pulled slightly differently. This is not a case of July 1999 but rather that the OCC have updated the rules for export from their database and not put in exactly what was at the time.

My copy of the Virgin Book of Top 40 Charts (which I use for charts up to December 2008 and was published in 2009) does list Audio Bullys at 40 and Cribs at 39, as announced at the time.

Thanks KOS. This chart date - coincidentally (and somewhat preposterously) exactly 20 years ago today - was vaguely familiar to me and I couldn't quite recall why; it must've been the last 'missing' chart in the old OCC archives before they got uploaded (seem to recall an enquiry about missing physical singles charts from those weeks over on UKMix a while ago). Not being a computer-literate sort of chap, I admit to only feebly grasping the concept of "a change of export rules" leading to a slight reconfiguration of positions on a few selected charts in their archive. But does this mean in every case where we know the chart has been affected by this process that these apparently-differently (or more recently) exported versions we now see online are the correct ones, and that any earlier iteration can safely be discarded? Apologies if that should be clear above but maybe I'm missing something.

The correct charts should be the ones compiled at the time but I suppose in theory, the ones in the archive are now the correct ones. Something subtle must have changed which has caused some charts to have titles move up or down by 1 place. Quite what it was, we'll most likely never find out.
