100 Grand International Chart achievements and milestones

This is a comprehensive listing that highlights **significant achievements and milestones** based upon 100 Grand International's singles chart. This list spans the period from the issue dated January 1, 1954 to present.

Prior to the creation of the International charts, International songs would rarely top the 100 Grand (which happens to this day), so this chart was created to give the spotlight to songs from non Valstrathian artists.

All items listed below are only from the International Charts, and it's updated as the charts are added in the page of the charts (mentioned above), currently it goes from 2007 to the present day.
