The standard page for 2014 lists the biggest hit songs across the
whole World. This page compares that with the top 20 biggest hits of the year in
North America and Europe. The region index
explains how these results were generated and
the long term trends.
The number of chart entries declines from about 2008
onwards so this data should be treated with some suspicion.
