  • 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 Pops chart. One source explains that the reason for using the Record Retailer chart for the 1960s was that it was "the only chart to have as many as 50 positions for almost the entire decade". The sample size of Record Retailer in the early 1960s was around 30 stores whereas NME and Melody Maker were sampling over 100 stores. In 1969, the first BMRB chart was compiled using postal returns of sales logs from 250 record shops. In terms of number-one singles, The Beatles were the most successful group of the decade having seventeen singles reach the top spot. The longest duration of a single at number-one was eight weeks and this was achieved on three occasions: "It's Now or Never" by Elvis Presley in 1960; "Wonderful Land" by The Shadows in 1962 and "Sugar, Sugar" by The Archies in 1969. The Beatles' song "She Loves You" became the best-selling single of all time in 1963, a record it held until 1977 when band member Paul McCartney's new band, Wings, surpassed it with "Mull of Kintyre". "She Loves You" was the best-selling song of the decade and one of fourteen songs believed to have sold over one million copies in the 1960s. (en)
  • Esta lista relaciona os singles que alcançaram a primeira colocação nas paradas musicais do Reino Unido durante a década de 1960. O órgão oficial de certificação no país é o UK Singles Chart, estabelecido em 1969. Até então, não havia um controle oficial; todavia, a British Hit Singles & Albums e a Official Charts Company consideram como fontes canônicas as edições da New Musical Express (NME) anteriores a 10 de março de 1960, e as edições da Record Retailer publicadas desta data até 15 de fevereiro de 1969, quando a Retailer e a BBC contrataram em conjunto a British Market Research Bureau (BMRB) para compilar as paradas musicais. A escolha da Retailer como fonte canônica foi considerada controversa pois a NME (que manteve a publicação das paradas musicais após março de 1960) foi a líder em circulação de periódicos da década, sendo consequentemente mais acompanhada pelo público em geral. Além dos compiladores de dados já mencionados, as revistas Melody Maker, Disc e Record Mirror também publicaram suas próprias versões das paradas durante a década. Devido à ausência de um controle único, a BBC agregou os resultados de todas essas fontes para a transmissão de sua própria parada, a Pick of the Pops. Uma fonte explica que a razão de utilizar os dados da Record Retailer dos anos 60 é que esta foi "a única parada a englobar até 50 posições durante quase toda a década". A coleta de dados por amostragem da Record Retailer no começo dos anos 60 abrangia em torno de 30 lojas de discos, enquanto a NME e a Melody Maker pesquisavam em mais de 100 lojas. Em 1969, a primeira parada da BMRB foi compilada, usando registros de vendas de 250 lojas. Em termos de singles número um, o Beatles foi o grupo mais bem-sucedido da época, emplacando dezessete canções na primeira colocação. O recorde de permanência de um single no 1° lugar foi de oito semanas, e isso ocorreu em três ocasiões: com "It's Now or Never" de Elvis Presley em 1960, com "Wonderful Land" do The Shadows em 1962, e com "Sugar, Sugar" do The Archies em 1969. A canção "She Loves You" do Beatles tornou-se o single mais vendido de todos os tempos em 1963, recorde mantido até 1977, quando o Wings, banda de Paul McCartney, superou-o com "Mull of Kintyre". "She Loves You" permaneceu no entanto como canção mais vendida e uma das quatorze que acredita-se tenha vendido mais de um milhão de cópias na década de 1960. (pt)
