The fact that the list of longest runners are all from the 1952-56 and 2016- present period (apart from Xmas perennials) says it all lol!
Fair play though great achievement! |

So Wham are also going to pass 35 weeks as well this year, right? It could be a record that they and Mariah trade back and forth, like they seem to do with so many other records...

Mariah and Wham! mostly enter and depart the Top 10 in the same week these days and if anything Mariah still gets there slightly sooner, so I cant see Wham! closing that gap of 3 any time soon.

QUOTE(Yet!!!!!! @ Dec 9 2022, 09:29 PM)  AND!!!! She wrote AND composed this song haself. Literally, when will your faves?!  Last Easter certainly wasn't.Very interesting comment. Whereas Mariah had a Co-writer on her track, George Michael wrote and produced Last Christmas solo. Nonetheless, well done to Mariah for reaching number 1 again. |

QUOTE(ben08 @ Dec 9 2022, 09:03 PM) And at the bottom of your list, 21 - The Beatles - She loves you (1963) Indeed Everything I Do by Bryan Adams also has 21 Top 10 weeks. |

The list above is missing Bad Habits and Blinding Lights, both at 22 weeks.
Incidentally, I keep lists of the ten songs with Most weeks in total and Most consecutive weeks in the Top 10, as well as the Top 20, Top 40, etc. and all kinds of related records, which I update weekly. |

The rules allow it, so well done and congratulations. But for me personally it’s a bit of an empty record personally.

It's easy to adjust and look at the record for most top 10 weeks within a single chart run instead at least, although of course Christmas songs would never be able to challenge for that record.

QUOTE(Voodoo @ Dec 9 2022, 06:30 PM) Sorry, but this record is meaningless when you take streaming & Christmas songs into account. #SorryNotSorry  Agreed - you cant compare it to the success of Frankie Laine. |

Relax probably the most impressive in there not from the 50s nor from the streaming/Xmas song era!

I don't recognise this chart record (I appreciate one can't really take a non-partisan approach to charts), on the basis that there isn't a level playing field.
This and for the last 3 Christmasses, my 6-year-old son will daily say to Alexa 'Alexa play Christmas songs' and the very first track that is always selected is AIWFC. If I can't get to Alexa quick enough to stop this godawful song, it will play over and over, but NOT because we chose it. My son is a passive listener and never requested this song. He must of played this track many times as part of a Christmas song playlist. My point is, tracks from the past NEVER had this privilege and so it's beyond unfair to compare or count. I'm all for there being a Christmas-only chart for tracks that have charted before. |
