		Their third single, "The Power Of Love" did not quite manage to equal the success of its predecessors, but spent a week at the top and was only knocked off by Band Aid, which went on to sell over 3.5 million copies.
		The record took the greatest phenomenon in the UK to be broken.
		Their first single only reached #17 in the UK charts in 1962, but by 1969, they had scored that many UK #1's, become a global phenomenon and clocked up 5 million selling singles in the UK, of which their first was their largest.

	CHARTWATCH Home Page
		CHARTWATCH was founded (bet you didn't know it was losted!) by John Hancock and Neil Rawlings in 1981 to serve a small and eccentric community of people interested in analysing record charts.
		Record charts serve as a repository of information and nostalgia for people interested in pop music, to such an extent that the Guinness books of UK Hit Singles and Albums have become major sellers in the UK.
		These kinds of books are all very well in their own sweet ways, but as well as being out of date as soon as (or even before) they're published, they also only answer some of the questions people are likely to ask.

	"from the choirgirl hotel" - Music Chart Watch
		Chart summary for the 13 weeks it was on the chart: 39-34-27-25-25-26-25- 28-22-22-23-32-39.
		The UK charts are pretty fast moving anyway, so this is not too unusual, though it does mean that "Spark" was not a huge hit in the U.K. The Dutch Album Charts
		Spark never made it to the singles charts (not counting a third chart in our Veronica TV-guide), but it did appear for several weeks in the Tip Parade (part of the Rabo charts), which indicates possible future entries in the singles chart.

	UK Singles Top 40 @ Top40-Charts.com - 40 Top 20 & Top 40 Music Charts from 25 Countries
		There are some artists that don´t need to sell much records to get recognition, they´re respected for their music - but Britney Spears has to sell lots of records, because that´s the only quality that she has - $elling records, as she is not an artist, but a record seller...
		The amount of records Britney Spears sold in the UK with her new album (peaking at 14 a falling like a stone) is not enough to pay for the huge promotion.
		Last week they sold 86,000 overall and it looks like the singles sales are going to increase by the end of this week, but drop down the chart in the process.

	UK Singles Chart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As part of the revised rules, singles would now be removed from the chart two weeks after the deletion of the physical formats, which meant "Crazy" fell out of the chart nine weeks later from number 5.
		In September 2006 it was reported[2] that the Entertainment Retailers' Association (formerly the British Association of Record Dealers) have now dropped their opposition to the inclusion of download sales in the singles chart.
		Stores which rack their singles in accordance to the official singles chart (now only HMV and the odd independent store) will probably begin to use their own internal chart.

	Music Chart Position Books from The Bomp Bookshelf (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		A seven-inch record (the same size as the 45-RPM single), usually housed in an attractive hard cardboard picture sleeve, it included two songs per side and was a popular alternative to the full-length alkbum during the '50s and '60s, seeing a revival during the '70s-'80s punk/new wave era.
		Bomp comment: if it shows the US and UK chart positions side by side (like The All Music Book of Hit Albums) that would be a very useful reference; for now, at any rate, it seems to be all that's available.
		Records are indexed by song title, with date of first entry and highest position, and fact-files list the sales figures of the best-selling songs and artists.

	Amazon.co.uk: Guinness World Records: British Hit Singles (15th edition): Books: David Roberts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Every chart act to ever feature in the UK singles chart from 1952-2001 is contained within 452 pages of the most comprehensive guide to singles.
		For all those big artists, there's a forenote before the single chart facts which describes the act/artists and their achievements.
		The chart used is that favoured by the BBC, which has changed chart compiler over the years, and strong arguments are made for charts used before the B.B.C. had an official chart on the basis that they must use where possible actual sales data and not record company figures or airplay.

	Indies plan assault on UK singles chart \| The Register
		A UK independent record label boss has warned that indies may this week launch an assault on the UK singles chart to prove that it is not secure following the incorporation of downloads into sales figures.
		Gut Records supremo, Guy Holmes, told the BBC: "I know of two different labels who are considering buying records online because they believe it's the only way they can teach the chart people that the security of the chart is no longer there.
		The Official UK Charts Company (OCC) has already said it would monitor the chart "very, very carefully" in the lead-up to this weekend's first "integrated" Top 40.

	Their chart records! - BeatleLinks Fab Forum
		Most complete ever domination of the three UK charts (singles, albums, EPs): the Beatles had the #1 UK single, the #2 UK single, the #1 UK album, the #2 UK album, the #1 UK EP, the #2 UK EP and the #3 UK EP for three weeks from December 12, 1963 to December 26, 1963
		The reason for this is that during the 1960s, songs usually only spent 1 or 2 weeks at #1, and then made way for the next classic, because in the 60s, a lot more singles were released than during the 1990s.
		Reason for this is, among others, that few singles are being released these days, allowing a longer stay in the charts for those singles that do chart, as well as a longer stay at #1, as there are so few records to compete with.
