UK Top 40 Singles Chart for Sunday 29th November 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 23rd to Saturday 28th November 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 sixteen new entrys, three climbers and three non-movers! And it was announced like this…
