So, another chart collection. The Netherlands is one of those countries that always had not one, but two charts, even to this day. They were Nationale Hitparade/Mega Top 100 and De Nederlandse Top 40 (aka Stichting Top 40). The first is readily available here, while Top 40 site only has singles charts, and is quite awkward to use. But - there were once two sites by Micha Jans, that carried archives of these singles and albums charts. Now they are neglected, with albums chart site practically nonexistent. One can always use the Wayback Machine (eternal praise to those who invented it!), but I did the work for others - and here are the contents of these two sites.
One archive is for singles, the other - for albums. These are lists of hits for each year with entry date, peak position and weeks on chart (just basic stuff, but just what is really needed). The real interest here is with album chart (LP Top 20/30/50/75/Album Top 100), as it's not readily available anywhere, to my knowledge (for full story see the chart guide).
De Nederlandse Top 40 (1970-2007)
Album charts 1970-1999
