There are a further 10 MJ singles on the chart between positions 76 and 100

You can see them HERE

 

You can also see the actual number of weeks on the chart for all the singles

Just looking through some of the world charts, how come it only seems to be the UK and Ireland that have MJ in their charts?

probably down to a mixture of either the charts not allowing old singles onto the chart (eg in the US) or the charts at the site not yet reflecting a sales period following his death.

The German chart for example is always a week behind, because they show the 'sales' of two weeks ago.

but the weeks on chart arent correct as they are combined from three (or four) different chart runs and downloads

 

I know it has multiple chart runs but these are the total number of weeks on the chart.

I don't see the point of starting the number of weeks on every new chart run.

This is probably due to different counties publishing their charts on different days.

Take for instance. Switzerland has 13 MJ singles in their top 20 this week.

The list is in the international charts forum.

From the latest set of singles charts on acharts.us:

 

Australia 18/50 (36%)

Austria 15/75 (20%)

Belgium 0/50 (0%)

Bulgaria 0/40 (0%)

Canada 0/100 (0%) but I don't think they are chart eligible

Denmark 9/40 (22.5%)

Netherlands 1/40 (2.5%)

Finland 3/20 (15%)

France 3/100 (3%) but you must consider d/ls don't count in France

Ireland 16/50 (32%)

Italy 9/50 (18%)

New Zealand 10/40 (25%)

Norway 6/20 (30%)

Portugal 5/50 (10%)

Spain 6/50 (12%)

Sweden 0/60 (0%)

Switzerland 37/100 (37%)

UK 27/75 (36%)

 

WORLD OVERALL 11/40 (27.5%)

 

So Switzerland is hit hardest in terms of both entry number and percent invasion (though only marginally ahead of Australia and UK tied at second for percentage).

If I was buying an MJ track in any of those countries that didn't count it I'd have a rather bad opinion of the chart publishing company. In fact it seems highly manipulative to not count real sales.
