Best Answer

Todays Charts are Researched and published by the Official UK Charts Company, and broadcast on BBC Radio 1 every sunday.

Before this most major music Industry publications ran their own version of the charts, done by telephoning around the top 20 music retailers to colllate sales reports and produce the chart listings,

The first British Chart (a grand total of 15) was published in the National Music Express (NME) in November 1952, with Here in My Heart by Al Martino at number one.
