The Nirvana artist page shows that their "Sliver" single peaked at number 90 on the UK Singles Chart on 02 Feb 1991. However, the archive is actually missing its higher chart re-entry peak: Music Week magazine which published the official UK charts before this OCC website existed used to have a subscription chart newsletter called Hit Music. In the 05 Dec 1992 issue of Hit Music it shows that Nirvana's "Sliver" single peaked at number 77 on the UK Singles Chart for week ending 28 Nov 1992. It is clear that the OCC website only has the top 75 archived for this period and in particular this week but it would be good if the OCC website could be updated to include the full top 100 as sourced from the Hit Music newsletter for the weeks where only the top 75 is currently included on the website.

Can I ask why Nirvana has entries on the "Physical" albums chart in 1994 and 1996 which is before the "Physical" chart existed ? As I understand it the physical chart was not started until at least 2005 when downloads were first incorporated into the charts. The physical peaks shown for these albums in 1994 and 1996 also do not reflect the peaks on the official albums chart back then which was at the time based on physical sales before downloading was included.

The self-titled "Nirvana" album that peaked on the album chart on 09 Nov 2002 could do with being shown with the proper album artwork. It currently incorrectly is shown with the "Nevermind" album artwork which was released in 1991. This is misleading.
