Does anyone know the time they finish compiling The Official UK Top 40 singles chart ready to be broadcast on Radio 1? I always thought it was 4pm.

Yes, end of trading on Saturday for stores that send data back, but I don't know about iTunes/Napster etc, given it is electronic I am assuming that it will be up until midnight on Saturday/Sunday.
The charts are released to the industry at 1pm if it is of any interest

Well, possibly! I mean whilst they are dished out at 1PM, it doesn't mean the artist will find out. But I'm no doubt sure that managers etc would call or text their artist to congratulate them.
Those phone calls may also not be live don't forget... |
