UK Singles Chart
The UK Singles Chart is a weekly music chart compiled by the Official Charts Company (OCC) that ranks the best-selling singles in the United Kingdom. The chart is one of the key measures of music popularity in the UK and has been published since 1952.
History
The UK Singles Chart was first compiled in 1952. Initially, it was published by the New Musical Express (NME) until 1960 when Record Retailer took over. Over the decades, the methodology used to compile the chart has evolved from sales of vinyl and sheet music to include digital downloads and streaming data.
Compilation
The chart is compiled using a mix of physical sales, downloads, and streaming data. The data is collected from Friday to Thursday and the chart is published on Fridays by the Official Charts Company. The move to include streaming data in 2014 marked a significant change, reflecting shifts in how music is consumed.
Significance
The UK Singles Chart is not only a measure of song popularity but also influences radio play and music television programming. Achieving a number one on this chart is considered a major achievement in the music industry.
Notable Records
Some of the notable records in the UK Singles Chart history include the most number one hits by a solo artist and the longest-running number one single. Artists like The Beatles and Elvis Presley have historically dominated the chart with multiple number one singles.
