Top-3 Songs In Europe, Each Year 1976 - 2002

■Year end charts (1976 - 1983): based on the “Europarade“ charts ■1984 chart was compiled by me with the data I took from the “Eurochart hot 100“ since they began compiling it from the month of march 1984 only, I based it on sales figures charting data. ■Year end charts (1985 - 2002) are based on the “Eurochart Hot 100“ charts ■Single sales: Reflect the sales within the specific year. ■Absence of mega-sellers: Some top hits like 'Believe', 'All That She Wants' etc. may not appear in the top-3 due to being released in major markets during the last quarter of the year, resulting in sales split between two years.
