Chart Track Data Systems

Chart-Track Data Systems was a company based in the United Kingdom known for providing sales data and market analysis specifically for the entertainment software and video game industry. Established in the 1990s, Chart-Track collected data from major video game retailers to compile sales charts that were widely used by industry professionals to gauge the popularity and commercial success of video games and gaming platforms.
