UK Top 40 Singles Chart for Sunday 14th June 1992

So this was the chart that Radio 1 DJ Bruno Brookes broadcast from 4pm-7pm with data from the GALLUP computer based on record sales from Monday 8th to Saturday 13th 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 thirteen new entrys, nine climbers and three non-movers! And it was announced like this…

40. Martyn Joseph – “Dolphins Make Me Cry”

39. Shakespear’s Sister – “I Don’t Care”

The Manic Street Preachers did that last week with this new entry, but seven days on they fail to progress, at least they don’t backwards as the song is a non-mover.
