UK Top 40 Singles Chart for Sunday 4th April 1993

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 29th March to Saturday 3rd April 1993.

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, seven climbers and eight non-movers! And it was announced like this…

40. Sonic Youth – “Sugar Kane”
Sonic Youth made their second UK top 40 appearance last week with this track, but seven days later, it goes down fourteen places.

39. Whitney Houston – “I’m Every Woman”

38. Chris Isaak – “Can’t Do A Thing (To Stop Me)”

It’s been two years, but LL Cool J returns to the UK top 40 this week with new material and this is our first new entry of this week.
