Identical to the chart that Ukiepedia claims is the 1989 Christmas chart for the week to 16/12 , the text specifically states this is a “few weeks” later.
Richard Montiero helpfully mentions RoboCop is now at 54 weeks in the chart which means this week must be the 30/12 chart (assuming that there is no 23/12 chart). The current theory on this is that Ukiepedia are still listing the final chart of the year as the Christmas chart as it did in 1988, although the Christmas chart is officially considered to be the one before Christmas from this year onwards.
