Previous position in brackets. (NE) shows a new entry. (RE) is a re-entry.

Apparently Britain's best-selling magazine (they don't publish the figures, so how are we supposed to check?), What's On TV's barcode is still top of the Barcode Chart.
We've come straight in to the chart at number 2, which makes our barcode the best one on any barcode magazine.
Since being featured in Barcode Review, Golden Churn (in both its new and BBE Nov 1990 forms) has made a surprise comeback
The Radio Times barcode has shot up the chart, as everybody rushed to buy it, just to check that the BBC hadn't changed their mind about showing Wayne's World 2. This subsequently pushed the WW2 barcode down into 10th position.
A 56K Modem Barcode has risen up the charts (unfortunately the compilers forgot to tell us which one), as everyone wants to get on the Internet and see the Barcode Review site (well, that's my theory)
The ZX Spectrum has made a surprising comeback, as everyone digs out their old one and...
Your Sinclair (April 1990), with ALS on the covertape. Another one connected to this site, simply because its sooo good.
Gator Grip, if you believe the adverts, can grip anything. Perhaps that explains its barcode's popularity.
Another issue of Your Sinclair is in the charts. We believe this is the famous one containing Whistlin' Rick singin' on the covertape, but we aren't sure because the idiots that compile the chart always forget various pieces of information.
I've already mentioned Wayne's World 2. It originally re-entered the charts around Autumn 1997, when the BBC failed to show it after promising to. It has now fallen back down the chart, as they are definately showing it. Apparently.
