Yay! A reply!

The next chart is the last one that needs a physical release. Subsequently downloads will be allowed. Singles released on 7" will be eligible if there is also a download.

Tomorrow is exactly 30 years since I compiled my first ever chart, which was dated 1 January but compiled on 30 December 1976.

One act that was on the first chart also appears in this one: 10cc
