UK Top 40 Singles Chart for Sunday 26th 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 20th to Saturday 25th 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 twelve new entrys, nine climbers and two non-movers! And it was announced like this…

40. Dream Frequency – “Take Me”
Not good news for Dream Frequency this week as their new entry and their new hope from last week drops back one place.

39. Annie Lennox – “Why?”
Still number one on the album chart, Annie Lennox drops a whopping twenty one places this week with the album’s lead single, which has made six weeks on the top 40.

38. Isotonik – “Everywhere I Go”
This week’s first new entry comes from Isotonik with the follow up to December’s debut single, “Different Strokes”. Can this one reach the top twenty like that one did…?
