No official charts were published before 1975 http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/CU0605/S00312.htm Adabow (talk · contribs) 22:56, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hung Medien also gives 2 May 1975 as first chart http://charts.org.nz/weekchart.asp?cat=s&year=1975&date=19750502. Adabow (talk · contribs) 23:00, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I'm afraid scoop.co.nz has got it wrong. Although no chart compiled from sales figures existed prior to 1975, the New Zealand Hit Parade began in 1966 as the first official national chart. It was compiled by the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation in association with the New Zealand Listener by way of weekly voting, and ran from March 1966 to September 1970. This was replaced by the "Pop-o-meter" charts, compiled by the NZBC in collaboration with record stores and based partly on sales figures and partly on voting. This chart ran from 1970 to May 1975, when the National Sales Chart began (source, J. Dix Stranded in Paradise). Given that the national sales chart is the one listed by Hung Medien, it's not surprising that its May 1975 list is given as its first chart. As long as the articles make the caveat clear that the lists were not complied from sales figures, I see no reason why they shouldn't stay.Grutness...wha? 00:41, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
