The Chartwatch 2020 scoring system is based upon record sales in 2020, and compared to the previous system, the ratio in scores between singles and albums has changed so that relatively speaking albums score less. The other major change is that lower positions in the singles chart score more points. This has been the effect of streams and downloads.

We have kept our previous ranking scored using the previous decade's scoring here.

  1. The Beatles have lost over a third of their points under this change.
