Year chart 1968

What is the best record of 1968 in the Dutch Top 40?

Ich Bau Dir Ein Schloss by Heintje tops the 1968 year chart, with 804 points from 27 weeks in the chart (peak position 1). The top 5: 1. Ich Bau Dir Ein Schloss (Heintje), 2. Delilah (Tom Jones), 3. Times Were When (The Cats), 4. Hey Jude (The Beatles), 5. Those Were The Days (Mary Hopkin).

How is the 1968 year chart calculated?

Every weekly entry in 1968 earns points: 41 minus the position, so 40 points for a number 1 and 1 point for number 40. The sum of those points sets the order; on a tie the peak position counts, then the number of weeks, then the earliest week. Only the weeks of 1968 count, also for a record that entered the year before or stayed on into the next year.

Is the number 1 of the year chart also the record that spent longest at number 1?

Not necessarily. The year chart counts every week in the chart, including the weeks lower in the Top 40; a record that stayed high for a long time can therefore end above a shorter-lived number 1. The number ones of 1968, the longest-charting records and the highest new entries are on the 1968 year page.

How many weeks does the 1968 year chart cover?

52 weekly charts, with 286 different records between them, 15 of which reached number 1. Every week can be viewed separately from the year page.
