Year chart 2011

What is the best record of 2011 in the Dutch Top 40?

Happiness by Alexis Jordan tops the 2011 year chart, with 954 points from 30 weeks in the chart (peak position 1). The top 5: 1. Happiness (Alexis Jordan), 2. Rolling in the Deep (Adele), 3. Moves Like Jagger (Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera), 4. Set Fire to the Rain (Adele), 5. Somebody That I Used to Know (Gotye and Kimbra).

How is the 2011 year chart calculated?

Every weekly entry in 2011 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 2011 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 2011, the longest-charting records and the highest new entries are on the 2011 year page.

How many weeks does the 2011 year chart cover?

53 weekly charts, with 245 different records between them, 13 of which reached number 1. Every week can be viewed separately from the year page.
