Number One (magazine)
''Number One'', initially rendered as 'No. 1', was a British magazine dealing with pop music. It ran for nine years and was aimed at a mainly teenage market. Overview The magazine was published weekly and ran from 7 May 1983 to February 1992. It was intended as direct competition to ''Smash Hits'', which was at its peak at the time.https://www.simplyeighties.com/number-one-magazine.php#.X85OiDEYB2Y Although ''No. 1'' contained fewer pages and less colour (at a similar price), the magazine claimed "our strength is our weekliness". One of the most popular aspects was that it published the singles and albums charts every week (obviously not possible for the fortnightly ''Smash Hits'').

However, in 1985 it started publishing the MRIB (Media Research Information Bureau) Network Chart, as used for Independent Local Radi ...
