The UK Charts Archive Wiki (formerly UK Singles Chart Wiki) was founded by user Havemeforty to store chart archives for UK singles and albums sales compiled by the Official Charts Company. You can find peak positions, weekly charts and artist singles and albums stats. The wiki also contains data from other music related charts, Fun and Games, plus much more. As we are not very well known by the public as of yet, you can help us spread the word about it to others who have interest in the charts, including use of social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter!

Note: Chart data for the Top 200 is not recorded in most cases on this wiki as the data for the Top 200 singles and albums are usually only available from UK Charts Plus as a paid subscription service. We do, however, provide singles and albums that have peaked within the Top 200 on this wiki by getting the data for new entries from the Zobbel website, which are archived on this wiki. We do not know, however, whether or not the releases peaked higher than the debut position in the Top 200. Artist stats pages are not 100% accurate as we do not have enough users yet who make sure they are updated every week. There are also incomplete chart weeks which we can only get the Top 40 archives from the Official Charts Company.
