 * "The UK Singles Chart is a record chart compiled by The Official UK Charts Company (OCC) on behalf of the British record industry. The chart week runs from Sunday to Saturday, and the new chart is first revealed each Sunday on BBC Radio 1." In the 1990s, it was compiled by CIN, and I think for a couple of years, the chart was revealed on Radio 1 on Wednesday lunchtimes. Also, only the Top 40 is revealed first on Radio 1, not the entire top 200
 * Changed
 * Also, for info, page 8 of the 2005 edition of British Hit Singles states that the change from the chart being revealed on a Tuesday to it being revealed at Sunday teatime occurred in October 1987, so it doesn't affect this list...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:40, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * "Before the advent of music downloads, the chart was based entirely on sales of physical singles from retail outlets." -- does this even apply to 1990s singles?
 * Changed
 * "Unlike in the United States, airplay statistics are not used in compiling the official UK Singles Chart." -- Remove the ref to US; it distracts from the UK-ness of the subject, and why pick only the US as an example?
 * Changed
 * There are 69 Redirects in this article; fix those that can be.. For those that can't/shouldn't (such as S Club 7/S Club), don't bother
 * All replaced
 * Why is the appearance on "Perfect Day" not counted in the By Artist section?
 * My thinking was because none of the artists received label credit on the single, which was billed only as by "various artists". I've now added them in, which takes Bono into the table separate from the rest of U2 - does this look odd at all.....?
 * Question to source reviewers: the Sunday Mirror is a tabloid - is this a Reliable source?
 * Replaced
 * Cheers for your comments -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:31, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * One nagging problem - can you create the redlinks? I mean, if they've had number-one hits they must be notable... Garden :  Chat  23:14, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Although it's not a requirement that a FL have no redlinsk whatsoever, I've created articles on the four redlinked songs. The one redlinked artist was due to a typo..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:29, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, good enough for me now. I fixed the list so that there isn't as much wrapping, and it's a support from me now. Good job! Garden :  Chat  21:03, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
