What about Canada? Could they be included? meh looking for Canada's music charts too far back is just too difficult.

This was a rather dire time for all four countries, in my opinion. The lack of real diversity is truly apparent and I didn't realise that the Top-40 charts at the time were so homogeneous. I feel incredibly bias for doing this and I wish I could award a point to another country, but again, I think I would have to go with Australia for this round. While the ARIA Chart is far from memorable, it does contain a few great exclusives. Highlights for me include "Whataya Want From Me" (it is also on the Billboard Hot 100, but it's placing is higher here), "Baby, I'm Getting Better", "Seventeen" and "Big Jet Plane". "Lying" charting at #10 is a notable standout as well. The UK would finish as runner-up for this round. The Top-10 is quite average and there's very few songs on the chart that I would generally choose to listen to. However, with that said, the chart overall is of a reasonable standard, especially for it's time. The chart exclusives are definitely the UK's saving grace. Kiwi-land would come in at third place. "If I Had You" featuring at #8 is a notable highlight, even though I've never particularly been a huge fan of the song. Generally speaking, the NZ chart is of a respectable standard and while there are quite a number of songs which I have no interest in whatsoever (e.g "Eenie Meenie" and "Never Say Never"), for it's time, it's not too bad. It doesn't have the same, notable exclusives as the Australian and UK Charts though. Coming in at last place is the Billboard Hot-100. The Hot-100 isn't of a noticeably lower standard to the other three charts, but I don't particularly like some of the chart placings. For instance, "Rock Your Body" featuring at #11 is a real turn-off, as it's one of my least favourite songs from the Early 2010s. US: 5 UK: 3 AUS: 11NZ: 7 Here are the charts from the 15th/16th May 1993: US: www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/1993-05-15UK: www.officialcharts.com/charts/singles-chart/19930516/7501/AUS: www.australian-charts.com/weekchart.asp?cat=s&year=1993&date=19930516NZ: nztop40.co.nz/chart/singles?chart=3559

, but there were also alot of good songs present in the top 20 like "Mr Brightside", 'Like Toy Soldiers" or "Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
