Year chart 1969

What is the best record of 1969 in the Dutch Top 40?

Je T'aime Moi Non Plus by Jane Birkin avec Serge Gainsbourg tops the 1969 year chart, with 840 points from 29 weeks in the chart (peak position 2). The top 5: 1.

How is the 1969 year chart calculated?

Every weekly entry in 1969 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 1969 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 1969, the longest-charting records and the highest new entries are on the 1969 year page.

How many weeks does the 1969 year chart cover?
