That is basically it for these charts, the ones I have for 1979 to 1981 seem to be almost identical to the UK charts with a very small variance at the bottom end of the charts, but only around Christmas time, so it would be pointless just to post these when they are so close to the charts available already on line.
I can't remember exactly whether Luxembourg copied the official charts, or whether I got them from the Record Mirror one or the other, any way that is the end of this thread.
I hope they have been of interest to chart followers, and feel free to use any of the charts, if you wish.

Very enjoyable thread, smokeyb - was a good read. Even from the beginning the Luxemburg chart wasn't really greatly different from tne nationl chart, upcoming records a bit higher and a few records at the bottom which didn't make the top 30.

Thanks for doing these, they are a snapshot in time - a time when we didn't have access to top 50 charts and the like and radio didn't play everything that was selling. I've linked to them on my own blog so hopefully you'll get folk discovering them and commenting - I know one of the biggest internet searches that gets folk to look at my wordpress charts is "Radio Luxembourg charts". The other is "ELO Experience review" as I seem to be the only one who's bothered reviewing them (and they are a great night out)...

Is there a chance you could post the rest of the Radio Luxembourg charts that you have up to 1980?
I've posted a link to this thread over at ukmix in a thread which is running there about the Radio Luxembourg charts.
