UK Top 40 Singles Chart for Sunday 10th October 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 4th to Saturday 9th October 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 ten new entrys, four climbers and five non-movers! And it was announced like this…
