News and Charts
The UK Charts Archive Wiki
The UK Charts Archive 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. We only currently have 4 regular editors, but 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!
Top 200 Chart Runs
Admin NicholasBBQ32 has discovered a thread on the UKMix Forum called Chart Histories, a thread where logged on users can request top 200 chart runs for artists by user Hanboo. We can now use this source to build our chart database even further. You can request missing or outdated chart stats for singles, albums and more in the forum.
