Talk:European Hot 100 Singles

Number-one singles

The songs listed as number-ones are wrong. For example, "Beautiful Liar" by Beyoncé & Shakira was a number-one single for six weeks from May 2007 to June 2007, while "Makes Me Wonder" by Maroon 5 peaked at number five. In adittion, "Hips Don't Lie" CAN'T have only peaked at number one for 3 weeks because it was the #1 song of 2006, so check it up please.McMare's 22:33, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Charts confusion

Eurochart Hot 100 Singles is a U.S. Billboard chart based on sales in Europe. While the Euro 200 is a chart from Europe itself, based in sales obviously from Europe. But the number ones listed here as listed as "Euro Hot 100 Singles" but they are the Euro 200 singles. There has to be some cleaning up in here. --Crunkier21 (talk) 15:09, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. There should be a distinction between the Euro 200 (which is more official) and the U.S. Billboard European Hot 100 Singles. Funk Junkie (talk) 17:11, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

The Euro 200 isn't more official. The list of European number-ones is based on the wrong chart. ^anemone│_projectors 23:36, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

First: The article's name is Eurochart Hot 100 Singles, and the Billboard chart is called European Hot 100 Singles (you said that "this page is about the official Billboard one" when reverting my edit on the page). Second: Billboard is mentioned only once in the whole article, and apparently the Billboard-published chart hasn't been around for that much time. Also, tons and tons of articles about music singles on Wikipedia have the Euro 200 as the official European singles chart. So what makes you think the Billboard European Hot 100 Singles is more official than the Euro 200?

This article is confusing, that's it. Funk Junkie (talk) 17:36, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

That's something we can definitely agree on. ^anemone│_projectors 14:10, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Damn right! Funk Junkie (talk) 22:32, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

In Billboard magazine, they have been publishing the OFFICIAL European chart for YEARS. This is the least recent article that I could find: "Believe" stands at No. 7 on this week's "official" C.I.N. chart and is No. 1 on Music & Media's Eurochart Hot 100 Singles. The song is No. 52 on The Billboard Hot 100." Meaning that the one from Billboard is the same that Music & Media used to published. Also, this is from the Euro 200 web site: "The Euro 200™ is an independent chart for the 27 states of the European Union compiled by APC-stats. (record sales, paid downloads and between #101 and 200 also airplay data)." Why on earth would we want to use the number one singles from an INDEPENDENT chart? The fact that it says "independent" is enough to claim that the one published by Billboard IS the official. Period. I will eventually add the number one singles according to the Billboard articles.

I don't know if this helps clear it up, but [1] uses the Billboard chart as the 'European' chart rather than the Euro 200The flying pasty (talk) 13:50, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Also, the article says seventeen countries are used to compile the chart, but there's only sixteen listed. Has one been missed off or are there only sixteen countries used? —Preceding unsigned comment added by The flying pasty (talk • contribs) 13:51, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

What are 60s records doing here?

The article states this chart began in the Seventies so why are Sixties tracks by Elvis Presley, Chubby Checker and the Beatles listed as number ones on it? This seems to be vandalism...there was no pan European chart during that decade. Vauxhall1964 (talk) 21:08, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

I was wondering that myself. I've taken the liberty of removing all references to them off this page; the article clearly states that the Eurochart began in 1976 so where's all this come from?The flying pasty (talk) 17:49, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

I've also just got round to nominating the lists of # 1s (1959-1965) for deletion. If there was a pan-European chart before 1976 (and I can't find any reference to one) it was unconnected to the current Eurochart and should probably have a separate article.The flying pasty (talk) 18:03, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

 As the Eurocharts are based on Points, from several European Countries Singles Charts, it is quite legitimate for a person with the time to compile Charts from the 1960's etc. It has in fact already been done. Weekly Euro Charts exist from before May 1976. In fact they have been compiled to January 1964. The Euro Charts have been compiled using a bigger number of Countries than those used here. They bring up interesting changes. For example Save Your Kisses For Me by Brotherhood Of Man,(1976), is no longer a 6 Week No.1 in 1976. It gets to No.2 for 13 Weeks. It cannot get passed the huge European Hit by ABBA - Fernando. That is No.1 for a massive 18 Weeks. One 'Run' of 15 Weeks & 1 of 3 Weeks. ABBA gain 4 extra No.1's from the extended Eurocharts - Waterloo, (1974), S.O.S., (1975), & Mamma Mia & Fernando, (1976). But, they lose 2 No.1's from the 'Official' Eurochart - Summernight City,(1978),& Does Your Mother Know,(1979), are No.2 Hits in the 'extended' Eurochart. So ABBA have 15 No.1 Hits in the 'revised' Charts - not 13. The Beatles get even more Eurochart No.1's than ABBA. Just because someone decided to start the Eurocharts in May 1976, it does not mean that they cannot be taken back to earlier Years. The 'extended' Eurocharts cannot be 'wrong' as they are based on the Singles Charts from various Countries. It is simply a matter of working out the Pan-European biggest Hits each Week. AS I previously said, someone has done just that, & taken them back as far as January 1964. Someone at Wikipedia has taken the No.1's back as far as 1959. 82.6.134.233 (talk) 03:04, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Madonna's number-ones

According to the Music&Media/Billboard publications, Madonna has had 15 number-one singles: "Live to Tell", "Papa Don't Preach", "True Blue", "La Isla Bonita", "Like a Prayer", "Express Yourself", "Vogue", "Erotica", "Don't Cry For Me Argentina", "American Pie", "Music", "Me Against the Music", "Hung Up", "Sorry" and "4 Minutes". Madonna single discography's article is wrong, neither "Like a Virgin" nor "Into the Groove" peaked at number-one. McMare's (talk) 06:25, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Why the exclusion of several European countries?

Does anyone have a source? --AaThinker (talk) 14:58, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Bodies

Bodies has just entered the chart at # 1; does anyone know if this is a first? The flying pasty (talk) 14:53, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Strike that, I've just answered my own question. Sorry entered at # 1 back in 2006.The flying pasty (talk) 15:29, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Section: Artists with the most number-one singles - No. 1 is a hoax, isn't it?
