*There were no Record Mirror Charts from June 21 until August 2nd in 1959 owing to a newspaper strike.During this time period the chart of the week of January 14th,1959 stands as the charts for the weeks of June 21 to July 26 in 1959. The chart for August 2nd,1959 is derived from figures displayed in the August 9th,1959 chart reading “position last week”.These are the charts used in my calculations.
