MSR's UK Chart Performance (4 November 2000 - 23 November 2002)

I managed to find some news articles in the old Segaweb.com archives (a US based site) and a chart archive archive (https://retrogamecharts.blogspot.com/that cover the UK chart performance of MSR during November 2000 and December 2002.  The first three dates include the all-format chart because those are the only time MSR makes an appearance.  All the other dates show Dreamcast charts only.
