Year chart 1975

What is the best record of 1975 in the Dutch Top 40?

Paloma Blanca by George Baker Selection tops the 1975 year chart, with 470 points from 14 weeks in the chart (peak position 1). The top 5: 1. Paloma Blanca (George Baker Selection), 2. The Elephant Song (Kamahl), 3. Love Is All (Roger Glover and Guests), 4. Hey Mal Yo (Tee-Set, Johnny & Orquesta Rodrigues, Johnny Rodrigues, Polle Eduard, Yvonne Keeley, Anita Meyer, Patricia Paay and Peter Tetteroo), 5. 100 Years (Joey Dyser).

How is the 1975 year chart calculated?

Every weekly entry in 1975 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 1975 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 1975, the longest-charting records and the highest new entries are on the 1975 year page.

How many weeks does the 1975 year chart cover?

52 weekly charts, with 360 different records between them, 20 of which reached number 1. Every week can be viewed separately from the year page.
