Based on various data announced throughout 1995, that were then used (together with the weekly %-changes) to compute weekly approximations.
Please note that only the figures for singles can be seen as a very close approximation to the actual weekly sales as recorded by Millward Brown. I record a 1995 total of 74.6M, wheras the provisional CIN estimates say 77M. This 3% gap may be explained by the usual difference between sales & trade deliveries as well as minor faults in my methodology.
For albums however, my approximation records 140M, wheras CIN estimates 210M (1994: 120M and 177M). I underestimate by 33% (1994:32%); a gap only explainable by faults in my methodology. Except for weeks 49-52 (these are real figures), you have to add 60% (theoretically).
Nevertheless the quotas calculated give a reasonable picture of the week by week fluctuation in sales and the subsequent weighting of the CWSRP(rev) points-sores.

Please note that the singles figures include re-releases and late release of additional formats. Album figures include Class-X and Spoken Word but exclude Classical releases. Increasingly record companies announce releases for a week only to then cancel or postpone them (often depending on the lack of airplay & club feedback). The actual number of releases is therefore lower than these figures suggest.

CWSRPS(rev)

My revision of the Chartwatch Sales Related Points System is taking each individual week's total sales into account, a #1 in a week in which only 821,300 singles were sold (14.01.1995) will get 0.57*50= 28.5 points, whereas the #1 for 30.12.1995 (2,511,800) gets 1.75*50= 87.5 points.
This is as close as one can get to actual sales figures, even though records that sell enourmous amounts in a single week remain underrepresented.

The table below shows the figures for the CWSRPS. A chart position's score is calculated by multiplying these points with the quota for each individual week.
