Frequently asked questions
What is the best record of 1991 in the Dutch Top 40?
(Everything I Do) I Do It For You by Bryan Adams tops the 1991 year chart, with 718 points from 21 weeks in the chart (peak position 1). The top 5: 1. (Everything I Do) I Do It For You (Bryan Adams), 2. Mooi Man (Mannenkoor Karrespoor), 3. More Than Words (Extreme), 4. James Brown Is Dead (L.A. Style), 5. Crazy (Seal).
How is the 1991 year chart calculated?
Every weekly entry in 1991 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 1991 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 1991, the longest-charting records and the highest new entries are on the 1991 year page.
How many weeks does the 1991 year chart cover?
51 weekly charts, with 346 different records between them, 16 of which reached number 1. Every week can be viewed separately from the year page.
