The UK singles chart was first compiled in 1969. However,the records and statistics listed here date back to 1952 because the Official Charts Company counts a selected period of the New Musical Express chart and the Record Retailer chart from 1960 to 1969 as predecessors for the period prior to 11 February 1969,where multiples of competing charts coexisted side by side. For example,the BBC compiled its own chart based on an average of the music papers of the time;many songs announced as having reached number one on BBC Radio and Top of the Pops prior to 1969 may not be listed here as chart-toppers since they do not meet the legacy criteria of the Charts Company.
