List Of Number-one Singles From The 1960s (UK)
The UK Singles Chart is the official record chart in the United Kingdom. Prior to 1969 there was no official singles chart; however, The Official Charts Company and Guinness' British Hit Singles & Albums regard the canonical sources as ''New Musical Express'' (''NME'') before 10 March 1960 and ''Record Retailer'' from then until 15 February 1969 when ''Retailer'' and the BBC jointly commissioned the British Market Research Bureau (BMRB) to compile the charts. The choice to use ''Record Retailer'' as the canonical source for the 1960s has been contentious because ''NME'' (which continued compiling charts beyond March 1960) had the biggest circulation of periodicals in the decade and was more widely followed. As well as the chart compilers mentioned previously, ''Melody Maker'', '' Disc'' and ''Record Mirror'' all compiled their own charts during the decade. Due to the lack of any official chart the BBC aggregated results from all these charts to announce its own ''Pick of the Po ...
