Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

On 14 November 1952, NME published the first UK singles chart. ‘Here in My Heart’ by Al Martino was No 1.

To celebrate the 60th anniversary, The IoS asked 60 of Britain’s leading personalities to name their perfect record, and explain why. The twist: they had to tell us in 140 characters or fewer. Join our Twitter campaign and tell us your favourite chart sensations!

The full list is available in today’s edition of the Independent on Sunday. Individual selections from our singles chart survey will be tweeted from @IndyOnSunday throughout the day.

Look out for #60hits and share your own favourites online. Enjoy!
