UK Top 40 Singles Chart for Sunday 19th January 1992

So this was the chart that Radio 1 DJ Mark Goodier broadcast from 4:30-7pm with data from the GALLUP computer based on record sales from Monday 13th to Saturday 18th January 1992.

This is how the charts USED to look with new entries, climbers and non-movers, all based solely on record purchases.
This week, thirty years ago, there were twelve new entrys, eleven climbers and two non-movers! And it was announced like this…

40. Digital Orgasm – “Running Out Of Time”
