August 29, 200717 yr Author the point about #41-100 is that most were either going up, or down, thus they have had or are going to have their peak time at an earlier or later date. otherwise the hits just werent 'hits' (as top 40 is all that we ever used).
August 30, 200717 yr but no one remembers the 100... thats why i posted the 40, which was the chart at the time. :) Sorry to disagree with you here - The official chart in 1987 was Top 75 with the next 25 unofficial same as it is today. It's only the BBC that used the shortened chart. From 1969 (when the BBC started using the official chart) to Feb 1978 when the official chart was Top 50, the BBC only used Top 30.

The only BBC I listened to at the time was John Peel and Radio 4! Now the only BBC I listen to is Radio 4. My memories of the charts are as much about the unusual records that made the lower reaches as the bland nonsense at the top end! So my favourites from the "proper" chart were these… 02. The Pet Shop Boys And Dusty Springfield - What Have I Done To Deserve This 07. New Order - True Faith 13. Prince - U Got The Look 16. The Smiths - Girlfriend In A Coma 23. Then Jerico - The Motive 33. The Jesus And Mary Chain - Happy When It Rains 42. Beastie Boys - She's On It 43. Pet Shop Boys - It's A Sin 47. Public Image Limited - Seattle 54. Yello And Shirley Bassey - The Rhythm Divine 85. The Primitives - Thru The Flowers 96. Crazyhead - Baby Turpentine It was certainly slim pickings in the chart by the late eighties when all the daytime DJs were Smashy and Niceys. No-one played much indie, rap or that new-fangled house music during the day, so not much of it charted.
