Sixties City - British Sixties Pop Chart EPs and Statistics

7" EP (Extended Play) Charts Statistics and Trivia

The first ever separate EP chart was listed by 'Record Retailer' on 10th March 1960 consisting of 10 titles and the last was on 30th November 1967 which only listed nine due to the fall in numbers of EPs being produced. Between these dates various numbers of EPs were involved in weekly listings.

For statistical purposes, if no chart was issued for a particular week the previous week's positions have been used. All statistics are calculated from the Saturday of the week in which a chart was published
