Songs will not be repeated for at least 3 weeks apart, or else they are skipped for another song. The songs also must be available on YouTube, but if you have a link to your song on another site, it may not be available on our playlist.

If you wish to see an archive of the playlists, please visit the UK Charts Archive Wiki YouTube account.

[*]You may also change the weight of any of your requests, whether they have occured in another user's request list or your own, but remember that your total weight for your requests may not exceed 20. For example, if you only post 1 song in your requests, it will be worth a weight of 20, which will be 1/3 likely to feature in the next playlist if there are 3 requesters. If you post 20 requests as default, each song will automatically have a weight of 1.

If a user/s does not have any of their requests appearing in a number of weeks, they will be given a chance to have a whole playlist the following week where only their songs will appear in. For example, if there are 3 users and user A doesn't have any of his requests for 2 consecutive playlists, he will get the playlist after all to himself. Note that user-centric playlists do NOT count as a playlist where the other users miss their requests.

Christmas Special 2013
For the Christmas period from 07/12/2013 to 21/12/2013 (Playlists 4, 5 and 6), the songs picked only included Christmas songs or in some way related to Christmas and the requests must be made on the discussion here.

New Year Special 2013
Towards the end of 2013, users are able to post their top 5 songs of 2013 on this discussion before 30/12/2013 which are posted in individual playlists on the Home page on 01/01/2014 (New Year's Day) for 1 week before the usual requesting system resumes. The playlists were shown on the Home page for a week until 08/01/2014.

Then how do you explain that My Heart Will Go On landed in both playlist 9 and playlist 11?
