THE CHARTES
Generalitat de Catalunya

The British charts were started in 1952. The top twelve records were listed by a
magazine called New Musical Express. One of the magazine’s managers phoned twenty
record shops every week to find the information. The charts were popular and they
were copied by other magazines.
These days the official charts are prepared by a specialist company. More than 5,000
shops are connected to a computer and the information is processing every week.
Apart from the general charts, there are also charts for hip hop, indie, country and
other types of music.
In the future, more Internet shops will be connected to the charts system, as people by
more music online.
