100 positions ← 12/08 12/22 →

Five LAST WEEK figures on this page were misprinted, and the archive corrects them. Records on their way down carry one another’s figures: I’m So Excited prints 73 (it was No. 68), Teacher Teacher 68 (No. 66), On The Dark Side 75 (No. 73), Sugar Don’t Bite 93 (No. 77) and Concealed Weapons 77 (No. 75). Their 2 WKS AGO and WKS ON CHART columns, and the 12/22 page, are right. The archive shows the right figures.
