hope this hasn't been made before, but the search function won't let me type 'one' or '#1' into it. Maybe even I've made it before, idk.

Anyway, do you have non-#1s in your chart? Here's my main ones:

£1 Fish Man ~ One Pound Fish 6-1-2-12-48-x (5 weeks)
Little Mix ~ Cannonball 1-1-8-10-32-x (5 weeks)
Tiesto, Mark Alston, Baggi Begovic & Jason Taylor ~ Love And Run (feat. Teddy Geiger) 46-30-39-29-1-1-12-32-x (8 weeks)
Jenny Mayhem & The Fuzz Orchestrator ~ Bad Girls (SLO LOV Remix) 2-2-2-1-1-7-24-43-x (8 weeks) [not a non-#1 as such with its 5 weeks top 2, but that chart run afterwards is laughable]
Willow Smith ~ Whip My Hair 21-1-7-13-23-30-19-41-x-45-x (9 weeks)
Wolfgang Gartner ~ Redline 27-17-39-x-20-1-3-8-47-36-42-x (10 weeks)
James Arthur ~ Impossible 1-9-18-19-47-47-49-48-x-50-49-x (10 weeks)
Morten ~ Beautiful Heartbeat [Avicii Remix] [feat. Frida Sundemo] 1-1-11-40-37-43-x [6 weeks]

Around this time last year I had this awful #1 run laugh.gif

Linkin Park - Numb (01-24-OUT)

In fairness it was the effect of seeing them live that week tongue.gif

These are my worst performing #1s, all below 300 points (which is pretty poor in terms of my chart). Not including #1s that are in my current personal chart:

#01, 05 weeks | 194 points | 03-01-16-26-37-xx Sam Bailey - Skyscraper
#01, 06 weeks | 197 points | 01-08-15-21-31-33-xx Lady Gaga - G.U.Y.
#01, 07 weeks | 226 points | 01-05-09-13-21-32-40-xx Mariah Carey - You're Mine (Eternal)
#01, 06 weeks | 238 points | 04-01-05-12-17-32-xx Gwen Stefani - Baby Don't Lie
#01, 07 weeks | 248 points | 04-01-03-11-19-37-xx-39-xx Madonna feat. Nicki Minaj & M.I.A. Give Me All Your Luvin'
#01, 10 weeks | 253 points | 07-01-05-11-14-29-xx-35-37-xx-38-xx-40-xx Coldplay - Viva La Vida
#01, 09 weeks | 270 points | 01-03-08-16-22-31-40-21-29-xx G.R.L. - Lighthouse
#01, 08 weeks | 272 points | 03-01-04-08-14-26-35-40-xx Paulini - Air It All Out [7th Heaven Remix]
#01, 08 weeks | 276 points | 01-03-06-09-18-26-28-33-xx Sunblock - I'll Be Ready
#01, 08 weeks | 296 points | 03-01-03-05-12-22-33-37-xx Roll Deep - Good Times
#01, 13 weeks | 298 points | 01-03-10-16-16-22-24-29-39-36-38-xx-35-38-xx Britney Spears - I Wanna Go


I'd definitely consider most of those to be "non-#1s"!

Counting anything with less than 10 weeks in my chart (not counting songs currently charting):

01 Britney Spears - Perfume - 1-5-11-12-19-29-X (6 weeks)
01 Conor Maynard - Royalty - 1-3-6-17-22-30-38-X (7 weeks)
01 Delta Goodrem - Only Human - 1-4-7-11-21-28-30-X (7 weeks)
01 Devlin - Rewind (feat. Diane Birch) - 1-2-4-4-6-9-14-26-X (8 weeks) *
01 Diana Vickers - Boy In Paris - 5-8-12-X-1-6-13-18-X-31-40-X (9 non-consecutive weeks) **
01 Fifth Harmony - BO$$ - 1-2-4-6-12-17-23-37-X (8 weeks)
01 Hunter Hayes - More Than I Should - 1-2-8-12-19-27-X (6 weeks)
01 Justin Bieber - Turn To You - 1-2-6-14-12-19-26-X (7 weeks) *
01 Kelly Rowland - Down For Whatever (feat. The WAV.s) - 1-4-9-X (3 weeks) ***
01 Lucie Silvas - Cry a Little More - 1-4-10-14-19-28-34-X (7 weeks)
01 Lucie Silvas - Happy Without Me - 1-3-7-10-13-16-23-30-35-X (9 weeks)
01 Michael Schulte - Rock and Scissors - 1-3-5-8-13-18-26-31-36-X (9 weeks)
01 Mitchel Musso - The In Crowd - 1-2-2-8-14-28-31-X (7 weeks)
01 One Direction - More Than This - 3-1-1-5-X-15-20-26-X (7 non-consecutive weeks)
01 RHODES - Close Your Eyes - 1-3-10-19-23-33-X (6 weeks)
01 Sarah Harding - Threads - 1-5-7-10-13-23-29-36-X (8 weeks)
01 Taylor Swift - Enchanted - 1-3-7-15-20-26-35-X (7 weeks)
01 The Chainsmokers - Erase (feat. Priyanka Chopra) - 7-1-4-12-18-26-33-X (7 weeks)
01 Ulrik Munther - Alltid leva, aldrig dö - 1-4-11-21-26-26-29-36-37-X (9 weeks)

* chart was a top 30 at this time
** chart was a top 20 at this time
*** chart was a top 10 at this time

In cases where there was a re-entry, I'm counting the first chart run for the above key. e.g. Diana Vickers - Boy In Paris entered first during the top 20 period of my chart but when it re-entered, it was during the top 40, so I've marked it with a ** notation.

Some songs feel like they shouldn't be there but some really do!

The only notable example here is Only The Young's I Do, which had a run of: 1-5-13-18-21-26-32-55-OUT

At a push, I'd say Blonde feat. Karen Harding's Feel Good (It's Alright) was a bit of a non-number one, due to its fall and that maybe, if it hadn't been by Blonde and Karen Harding, both of whom are in my good books since I Loved You and Say Something respectively, it might have not done so well. Not as good as I Loved You or All Cried Out, in hindsight. Its run: 1-2-10-19-24-26-23-34-42-51-70-OUT

Also, these two X Factor Winner's Singles fell pretty quickly:

Ben Haenow - Something I Need {1-2-2-6-12-16-22-28-48-90}
Louisa Johnson - Forever Young {1-1-5-9-23-31-36-49-64-71}

But Louisa Johnson's fall was accelerated by the Bowie invasion. Its run when all Bowie songs are taken out of the chart looks like this: 1-1-5-9-13-19-23-33-46-52...

Currently, the worst number one run in 2016 would be The Stone Roses "Beautiful Thing": {17-6-3-1-3-5-11-14-17-23-37-45-56-64-69-67-76-78-83...} Not a great run for a number one.

Not a clue what happened to Don't Tell 'Em - still a massive jam to this day. Legendary Lovers obviously fell due to not being a single in the end. My Head is a Jungle is very good so shouldn't have fallen the fast - same with Blame even though it isn't too different to the rest of his stuff which is why I tired of it so quickly. Pills N Potions seems more like a 15 week runner in hindsight so that just fell off the map because I played it way to much to begin with. The Heart Wants What It Wants is one of my faves still too, it'll be appearing in my EOY in a couple of weeks.

The shortest run for a #1 since 2010 has been:

Underworld “Caliban’s Dream” 10-01-01-02-02-04-08-16-25-29-39-46 (12 weeks)


..which also has the distinction of being the highest debut of the 2010s on my chart when it went in at #10 on 29th July 2012 - the Sunday after the opening ceremony of the London olympics.

Tink - Million (1-30) [still charting]

Tbh it was extremely lucky to get that #1 anyway, I grew tired of it ages ago but it had a second wind just in time for my first chart. I don't even know if it will make it onto my next chart tomorrow, 2 weeks for a #1 is awful

I wouldn't say that - it just seemed to sound out of place once the Olympics/Paralympics had finished and I stop listening to it as much.

The Chainsmokers ft. Waterbed - Waterbed - (19-1-8-20-19-x-)

I can't remember liking it to that extent anyway - there were a lot of better songs in my chart at the time that were all so much more worthy of the number one unsure.gif

One of the worst runs is definitely Inspiral Carpets' "You're So Good For Me" at the end of 2011:

These are the ones that come to mind!

Ones that spent less than 10 weeks on my chart:

The Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Choir - A Bridge Over You [1-8-32-71>4]
Jamala - 1944 [1-6-7-23-40-78>6]
Wealdstone Raider - Got No Fans [3-1-5-11-17-24-36-51>8] (Fun fact: This charted back when my chart was a Top 50/60 chart on a charts archive wiki before I started the chart on Buzzjack as a 75/100 chart)
Eagles Of Death Metal - Save A Prayer [1-5-12-14-20-37-50-46-85>9]

Since I've made the topic I can add another one to the list, this one really has a terrible run.

Morten ~ Beautiful Heartbeat [Avicii Remix] [feat. Frida Sundemo] 1-1-11-40-37-43-x [6 weeks]

It only made #1 from the hype of being the first thing Avicii had done for a few months, I know laugh.gif

This run however is made up for that the rest of my #1s this year have had very steady runs [and I'm only on 8 #1s so far yaaayyy (I love long #1s)]

Are those chart runs in above posts for sales only with no streaming?

If so what would Union J "You got it all" (song) chart run been like? I remember their combined run being 2, 34, 70ish. I also remember them being No.1 on the mids. I do feel really bad for them as it did look for about a week that the stars had finally lined up for them only to be forgotten a couple of weeks later.
