UK Top 40 Singles Chart for Sunday 14th November 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 8th to Saturday 13th November 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 twelve new entrys, five climbers and four non-movers! And it was announced like this…
40. Paul Weller – “The Weaver”

39. Barry Manilow – “Could It Be Magic? ’93”
