UK Top 40 Singles Chart for Sunday 5th April 1992

So this was the chart that Radio 1 DJ Bruno Brookes broadcast from 4:30-7pm with data from the GALLUP computer based on record sales from Monday 30th March to Saturday 4th April 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 ten new entrys, twelve climbers and two non-movers! And it was announced like this…
