Sega Charts (originally The Sega Charts) was a feature in Sonic the Comic that listed the most popular Sega games that week. The charts were taken directly from chart compilers ELSPA (and were sponsored by Penguin biscuits) and showed the top ten titles from each of the major Sega consoles in the last week. The first four issues only contained information for Mega Drive, Master System and Game Gear games, but Mega-CD titles made their introduction in Issue 5. In Issue 77, the defunct Master System made way for the Sega Saturn, ensuring the feature remained at four charts. With the decline in Sega's popularity, STC reduced the number of charts to two, removing the information for the Mega-CD and Game Gear. By Issue 109, the charts were removed completely and would never return.
The charts were a regular feature in the Control Zone, always shown to the right of Megadroid's introduction. The entire comic got a remake in Issue 58 and the charts were no exception, with all the symbols getting a revamp. Different symbols represented games that went up, ones that went down, non-movers, re-entries and new entries.
Mega Drive games
Over the course of the feature's run, 128 different games made their way onto the Sega Charts page:
- Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was the longest featuring game, appearing on 45 different occasions.
- Micro Machines 2 was the most popular non-Sonic game, appearing 31 times.
- FIFA '95 held the top spot for a record 9 fortnights. From its first appearance, it made it to the list for 29 consecutive issues.

Saturn games
After the Saturn games' introduction in Issue 77, 64 titles appeared in the chart:
- Sega Rally appeared in the charts for 20 weeks in a row, before disappearing completely.
- Virtua Cop 2 held the No.1 spot for the longest time, keeping it for four consecutive weeks.
- The original Virtua Cop was the longest-appearing title never to make it to the top, spending 17 consecutive weeks at no more than No.2. It would come back for one more week after its initial run.
The chart has been adjusted to account for possible printing errors in Issue 97 and Issue 106, each having identical charts (including changes in position) to their previous issues.
