The UK Singles Chart is currently compiled by
The Official UK Charts Company (OCC) on behalf of the
British record industry. The chart week runs from Sunday to Saturday, with the chart being printed in
Music Week magazine, and published online at
Yahoo! Music UK (formerly
Dotmusic)
[1]. Around 6,500 UK retail outlets contribute sales data, as well as several online digital download stores. Unlike in the
USA, no airplay statistics are used for the official UK Singles Chart. Most UK
singles are released in record shops on a Monday.
