UK Top 40 Singles Chart for Sunday 21st 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 15th to Saturday 20th 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 ten new entrys, one re-entry, ten climbers and one non-mover! And it was announced like this…

40. Nu Colours – “Power”
We welcome British group Nu Colours to the top 40 for the first time this week with a re-release of their debut single from last year, and they have tried three times since!

39. James – “Laid”
James have laid down and gone down, fourteen places with week, with their latest after three weeks on the chart.

38. Bee Gees – “For Whom The Bell Tolls”
The Bee Gees are back with a new entry and the follow up to “Paying The Price of Love”, which made the top thirty.

32. Aphex Twin – “On”
