This page contains the singles end of year charts, the combined sales and radio chart Top 30 information for France, the accreditation information, and some chart runs. The combined Top 30 information is from the book Hit Parades 1950 to 1998 by Daniel Lesueur. The book summarises the positions into Top 30's by month. Special thanks to Patric Guillon-Kopf for the combined information, Maurizio for the chart runs, John Boylan for The Abba Story accreditation, and Emilie for the rest.
