A list is more or less just a one-dimensional table (at least ol and ul) and a
table an n-dimensional list, thus I don't see the problem here.
If you wanted auto generated numbers, you /could/ use CSS:

  tbody tr::before {content: counter(charts)}

The most I could think of that HTML could do here, was to offer an attribute for
specifying by which column or row a table is sorted and how, like (fictitious):

  <col sorted="numeral" id="pos"><col id="song"><col id="artist">...

But what would UAs do with that piece of information?
