#1 and #3 are on the same disc. Should they ranked respectively? Same case by Jewel 'Foolish games' 'You were meant to me'+
Some charts (such as the UK charts and Billboard) list both sides of that single, others only list one side (like Japan, Spain and Germany) only list the tribute to Diana. We choose to respect the differences, so this is our only option.

Double Listing - Sad Songs (Say So Much)
#28 & #98 are the same.
Data fixed, thanks

#19 and #59 are the same #52 and #23 are also same thing.+
In the case of "Sacrifice" it is a bit more difficult than that. We've done the edits
The other entry is now fixed

Double Listing - Bite Your Lip
#21 (under duets) should be combined with #77. I don't believe Kiki Dee was on this recording.
In the US the B side was "Chameleon", but in the UK it was a Double-A side with "Chicago" by Kiki Dee
The data has been fixed, thanks
