Effervescence Retro - March 10th, 1960

This week saw a significant change in the UK Singles Chart. The chart was now known as The Record Retailer Chart, and a Top 50 would be presented from this point forward. Effervescence remains a Top 40, therefore, there is no longer a need for the US Billboard Hot 100 chart to provide data to be able to present 40 songs from this point forward.

Effervescence recognizes the chart positions of The Record Retailer Chart Weekly Singles Charts for this week in history. The same chart is recognized by The Official Chart Company, which compiles The Official UK Singles Chart today.

For Effervescence continuity purposes, the song listed first on The Official Chart source used will be given the higher of the shared positions in the case of two singles being listed at the same position, a rarity at this point. The only songs that can share a position are double A-side Singles. Both songs will be listed separately, with the same chart position for continuity purposes with double A-side singles. EPs will continue to be excluded, and all other entries will simply be pulled one position higher to fill out the chart to 40 positions.

Effervescence reserves the right at any time, ever, to make any adjustments or include songs from the time that did not chart in either the NME Top 30 Chart or the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart for this week
