Frequently asked questions
What is the best record of 2014 in the Dutch Top 40?
Rather be by Clean Bandit tops the 2014 year chart, with 944 points from 31 weeks in the chart (peak position 1). The top 5: 1. Rather be (Clean Bandit), 2. Am I Wrong (Nico & Vinz), 3. Summer (Calvin Harris), 4. Stolen Dance (Milky Chance), 5. Budapest (George Ezra).
How is the 2014 year chart calculated?
Every weekly entry in 2014 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 2014 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 2014, the longest-charting records and the highest new entries are on the 2014 year page.
How many weeks does the 2014 year chart cover?
51 weekly charts, with 190 different records between them, 13 of which reached number 1. Every week can be viewed separately from the year page.
