UK Number Ones - 1983

Original issues of UK #1 hits on 7" 45rpm, based on the Official Charts Company listing, as compiled by the British Market Research Bureau (BMRB) for the BBC and Music Week magazine. This chart was broadcast weekly on BBC Radio 1, and also published by Music Week and Record Mirror. On 4 January 1983, the chart was taken over by Gallup who expanded the chart from the Top 75 to the Top 100, and began the introduction of computerised tills, which automated the data collection process.

See 45cat for the 7" #1s.
