First a little history. The first Eurochart began as the "Europarade", which was started in early 1976 by TROS Radio in Holland. The chart consisted of only six countries (UK,France,Germany,Holland,Belgium and Spain). The compilers collected the top 15 records from each country and then awarded corresponding points, depending which positions between no.1 and no.15 each record stood at. Italy and Denmark wered added in 1979 and during 1980, Austria and Switzerland were included. Ireland was added as the 11th country in October 1983. I'm not sure, if the Europarade still exists, the last life signs, from my perspective, date from 1993, when some radiostations in Germany broadcasted the chart.
In January 1984, Music & Media in Amsterdam started their own Eurochart, "The Hot 100", which they published as a Euro Tip sheet for the first two years. This chart is accumulated by taking the chart positions in each country combined with the national sales percentage of records in that particular country. The Eurochart quickly gained momentum, as it included more countries (16) and Music & Media became a Billboard publication in January 1986. The number of participating countries in the Eurochart, which is now a Top 200, grew to 45 in 2001.
The following list shows the Euro No.1 singles since 1982. From 1982 to 1986 the Europarade, as published in Music Week and the Dutch magazine Hitkrant, was used. Since November 1986, the Music & Media Eurochart Top 20 was used as source, as Billboard started publishing the chart until today.
The first column shows the date the songs first reached #1, the second the number of weeks on #1. Thanks to Dotmusic user Bauhaus for compiling the Aug.1994-Aug.2002 data.
