I actually thought Chart Archive had full charts up to 17/11/2012 (before OCC asked for the data to be removed) up until recently, where it was proved on the Chart Histories thread on UK Mix (see the Home page for the source) by user Hanboo that a top 200 has existed as far back as 1994, but Chart Archive insisted there was only a top 75 until 2006. And something which I never knew about was that it was briefly changed into a top 250 from 23/04/2005 to 08/03/2006, before being changed back into a top 200:

"From New Musical Express: started 15-11-1952 (Top 12) changed: 1-10-1954 (Top 20) 14-4-1956 (Top 30) From Record Retailer/Music Week: started 10-3-1960 (Top 50) changed: 13-5-1978 (Top 75)

Added since April 2006: 8-1-1983 (Top 100) 13-04-1991 (Top 75) 26-09-1992 (Top 100) 19-11-1994 (Top 200) 23-04-2005 (Top 250) 8-03-2006 (Top 200)"

I am using this source to complete some of my song performances for the top 200, but if you come across any songs which have charted in the 201-250 part, please let me know!
