UK Top 40 Singles Chart for Sunday 7th June 1992

So this was the chart that Radio 1 DJ Bruno Brookes broadcast from 4-7pm with data from the GALLUP computer based on record sales from Monday 1st to Saturday 6th June 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 eleven new entrys, ten climbers and one non-mover! And it was announced like this…

40. Alice Cooper – “Feed My Frankenstein”
The third single from Alice Cooper’s most recent album landed on the chart last week, but seven days on and it’s down thirteen places.
