UK Top 40 Singles Chart for Sunday 23rd January 1994

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 17th to Saturday 22nd January 1994.

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 eight new entrys, eight climbers and four non-movers! And it was announced like this…
