A top 100 based on total sales each week

 This has been transferred from the weekly section.

While doing the 1983 charts I came up with the idea of doing what the top 100 would look like if I just based it on the total sales of each record in the chart. So I did the chart for the 24 July like that, I also worked out what the previous week would have been like, and included that in the last week column. The weeks would be the same of course. I couldn't do the highest position one, because that would have required many weeks of charts to do. I am including the chart below to show you. Some notes of explanation are needed. The red pen lines show you what will drop out. As you can see they are all over the place, not just at the bottom of the chart! Such a chart would see records drop out from number one! New Order's record would have spent 2 weeks at the top. Sales with the same figures are placed in order of the same chart as presented. This chart is also a one off! 

I should point out that you could do this with any other charts if you know the weekly sales figures. Even those by the OCC. 

First off the 24 July chart without the adjustment and then the chart with.
