Talk:List of UK charts and number-one singles (1952–1969)

Disc Magazine Number Ones 1958 to 1960
I'm not sure how to edit the table comparing lists of UK #1s, but the early chart-toppers from Disc Magazine can be found here http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/popmusichistory/Charts/Disc%20and%20Music%20Echo.htm Can anyone help please? --TrottieTrue (talk) 23:55, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Just a suggestion
Given the comparison of the five sources in the 1952-69 period, has there been thought given to starting a page of "List of UK charts and number-one singles (1969-1988)," starting 15 February 1969 when the BMRB was set up, and ending 14 May 1988 when NME and Melody Maker ended their stand-alone charts and switched to rival Music Research Information Bureau for the charts? And using the same format as this (i.e. BMRB / Gallup on the first column, NME the second, Melody Maker the third, and Top Pops / Music Now (1968-1971) the fourth). (And with pertinent sources cited as required here.) One source is http://www.it-charts.it/UK-index.htm, with links to 1960-1969, 1970-1979 and 1980-1989. Others:
 * https://www.ukmix.org/showthread.php?24911 - Melody Maker 1960's singles charts (last few pages of thread for post-15 February 1969)
 * https://www.ukmix.org/showthread.php?97549 - Melody Maker 1970's singles charts
 * https://www.ukmix.org/showthread.php?90830 - Melody Maker 1980's singles charts request
 * https://www.ukmix.org/showthread.php?87462 - Music paper biographies and their No 1's (Cliff's Notes of Melody Maker #1's in post #4, plus Top Pops / Music Now toppers in post #15)

I know, for example, that between 1980 and 1988, NME had an additional 44 number ones, and Melody Maker an additional 26, all unique to each publication, that were not part of the "canonical" Official Charts history of UK Singles Chart number ones. –Wbwn (talk) 18:55, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
