UKChartsPlus is an independent weekly
newsletter about the UK music charts. It was first published in September 2001 as
ChartsPlus in order to record authoritatively the official music chart information in the United Kingdom, as compiled by the
Official Charts Company. Its publication began after
Hit Music ceased publication in May 2001. The newsletter was established to be totally independent of
Music Week, licensing the chart data directly from Official Charts Company and other chart providers.
