Effervescence Retro - November 21st, 1952

Effervescence recognizes the chart positions of The New Musical Express (NME) Hit Parade Weekly Singles Charts for this week in history. The same chart is recognized by The Official Chart Company, who compile The Official UK Singles Chart today.

In The New Musical Express (NME) Hit Parade, the songs regularly shared a chart position due to finishing the week with the same sales figure (small sample size collated in the early days). For Effervescence continuity purposes, the song listed first on the source used will be given the higher of the shared positions. The only songs that can share a position are double A-side Singles. For double A-Side singles, both songs will be listed separately with the same chart position for Effervescence continuity purposes.

The original The New Musical Express (NME) Hit Parade chart was presented as a Top 12. It has been modified here using the same week's Billboard Magazine (USA) Weekly Single Chart (Top 20) and then the previous week's chart positions to expand the chart as needed to a complete Top 40 for Effervescence continuity purposes.
