Records

So I decided to compile a list with all of the records from when I started this chart until today. There aren't that many categories though, and the reason why is because this chart is more stable than most other charts such as the Hot 100. Basically, the chart came out at the beginning of 2017, but the reason that the first four months are unobtainable is because I didn't put those out on my blog when I did it and I'm too lazy to. For some of these records, there might also be a newsletter or two about them. There have been 3 #1 songs since the creation of the chart, with the first one being The Chainsmokers - Paris and the most recent one being Martin Garrix/Dua Lipa - Scared to be Lonely. Also, these records are not just song records, there are also artist records and album records, as well as a select additional achievements section at the end of this post. Some of these achievements has sources to the newsletter (the post) about it. Others will have sources linked directly to the page itself. But remember that the earlier archives are unobtainable so you'll just have to take my word. So with that, have fun and enjoy!
