Hi Guys

I've been working on this for a few years now, so I hope you enjoy it and find it interesting. Over the next few months I will be counting down the most successful singles / albums in UK chart history.

I've have went through each chart since the charts first began and allocated a point system, number 1 = 100 points and number 100 = 1, pretty simple really.

I'm pretty sure there will be errors especially regarding re-entries, re-releases and remixes but we shall see how it goes.

All interaction is appreciated also, what's your opinion on certain songs ? higher than you expected ? lower ?

I have countdowns for the -

Top 500 Singles
Top 500 Albums
Top 500 USA Singles

UK Singles (If anyone know how to make this look smarter i.e the columns that would be appreciated)

Number 500 - Lorde - Royals



Peak - 1
Points - 1839
Weeks in the top 10 - 4 weeks
Weeks in the top 100 - 34 weeks

Personal Option

If I'm honest I didn't really get this song and to be honest I still don't, its ok, I don't hate it but I'm generally surprised it only had 4 weeks in the top 10, for some reason it felt like it was around for ages.

What your opinion personal opinion on this song or its position in the countdown ?

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 2nd July 2016, 09:06 PM

Royals Also shocked it only had 4 weeks in the top 10!

(I'm presuming this is UK Singles first?)

Posted by: JosephStyles 2nd July 2016, 09:07 PM

Oh I thought Royals spent longer in the top 10 too! I'm not massive on it myself, pretty much her entire album is better imo.

I never really got Royals either. I didn't like her voice and I didn't like the song.

Also - this is quite an undertaking. I will try and comment on as many as possible.

I have never heard this before but it seems harmless enough, its the kind of song I’m sure my grandparents would have loved. It was number 3 for 3 weeks, It was behind Guy Mitchell and Frankie Vaughan for all 3 weeks.

Posted by: danG 2nd July 2016, 09:28 PM

This looks really exciting!!!

'Royals' is fairly good, I forgot just how long a chart run it had actually (spent 17 weeks top 40) but it did feel very big at the time. Strange that nothing she's done since has made much of a chart impact as she had so much hype around her for a few months.

Lol at random 50s songs coming in already. Looking forward to how well Frankie Laine 'I Believe' does (with its eighteen weeks at #1). I also remember 'Rock Around The Clock' having a massive chart run too.

Posted by: gooddelta 2nd July 2016, 09:32 PM

Yasss Pat. Actually this should be really interesting as I'm pretty sure there are going to be tons of songs I've never listened to in here from before the mid 1970s at least, where my music knowledge gets very patchy.

I adore Lorde and Royals in general, it really stood out for me and I generally love the 'click' beat. I'd comfortably put it in my all time top 100 actually.

Not my favourite Calvin Harris song, I just cant get with Ellie Goulding and her voice, it just irritates me, the video is super cute though but why couldn't we have more Calvin with his top off ha ha

Posted by: danG 2nd July 2016, 10:05 PM

well I guess we don't look for the same things in Ellie Goulding.

I never loved 'Love Me Like You Do', though it's a solid 7/10 it's not something I go back to and she has many better songs in her discography.

-x-

you're thinking of Alice Deejay 'Better Off Alone', which is approx 1000 times better than 'Play Hard' - one of a few weak points in Guetta's career.

Posted by: BASTILLEmdh 2nd July 2016, 10:05 PM

Play Hard is great! I really liked it when it came out in 2013 and it to this day remains as one of David's best in my personal opinion.

Love this so far, Dannyboy

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 2nd July 2016, 10:09 PM

Terrible Top 10 run but it certainly did pick up and stick around for a while, its not one of favourite songs by them, I can take or leave it but probably more leave it, they have a lot better.

Posted by: Adele 2nd July 2016, 10:16 PM

Excellent idea there, will be interesting to see what comes up.

Royals - It's ok but not really one I listen to much now, never really got Lorde either.
Friendly Persuasions - Not my kind of thing but probably good back in the day.
I Need Your Love - I love Ellie's voice and like I Need Your Love, personally I prefer their other collab Outside though.
Your Song - I love Elton John's original and nothing could come close in my opinion but I do think Ellie did a good job here.
Play Hard - I do like some of Guetta's songs but not a fan of this one. I do like the Alice Deejay original though!

I feel it was standard pop covers like that being successful that was the first hint she was turning into a mainstream hoe Though Halcyon did come before that to at least prolong her interesting phase <3

Been AGES since the last long Dannyboy countdown, very excited to see this back *.* Will try and follow as much as possible, I wonder how high the likes of Frankie Laine/Wet Wet/Bryan Adams will be, I recall them having quite quick exits after their mammoth run at number 1 was up

What a great countdown! Thanks so much D

Royals - Love it or hate it, it's fair to say that it is now considered as a modern classic
Your Song - Never got in to it (The Ellie version that is)
I need your love - It was within my personal Top 20 of that year
Play Hard - Awful cover
Smoke gets in your eyes - Classic 10/10
Crazy for you - Amazing, song still gives me goosebumps
Run - A rare situation when an already great song, is covered and the result is even greater. When I think of the best covers, this always comes to my mind
So Macho - Serves is purpose, good pop song
Running - Great production, I feel it deserved to be bigger than it was

Posted by: danG 3rd July 2016, 09:30 AM

I'm really not a fan of 'End Of The Road', glad I wasn't around at the time as I imagine it would've really got annoying from being everywhere and having a massively long top 40 run for its time.

Lol at 'So Macho' being here. I've just looked up its chart run and it appears it spent a lot of time under the top 40 before smashing, must've got a re-release at some point.

Not sure about End of the Road
Troublemaker is alright but Olly annoys me, especially after last year’s X Factor

I’ll Never Find Another You is alright I guess
Dislike Blank Space with a passion
Changing is great
Young at Heart sounds fun
There isn’t much Rock & Roll in that Waltz
Ayo is a crime against music
Return of the Mack should be higher
The Wombles? Seriously?
A bit of Dean Martin is always good
The very fact that I remember Payphone means that it was stupidly overplayed
Wannabe is quite good

This is a great countdown so far - especially one of its size, kudos for that.

Wannabe in is pleasing to see, I guess several of the big hits of the turn of the century won't make an appearance or be that low because of the faster charts around then, I'll hope to see as many as possible in anyway.

Posted by: Dannyboy 3rd July 2016, 05:39 PM

I agree that sadly a lot of classic tracks wont make an appearance of if they do, it will be very low but that's the nature of the charts I suppose.

Songs in the 50s/60s are penalised due to the chart not being Top 100 but they also have the advantage due to the chart being smaller, long runs gets a lot more of the higher points.

Songs in the 70s/80s benefited due to a lot of songs climbing the charts back then

Songs in the late 90s saw high sales but a shorter chart run

Songs in the 2000 saw a huge downturn in chart runs and sales so they are probably the worse effected

Its only really the 2010s where a lot of songs had long chart runs.

Dannyboy you're doing such a great job with this, and all the songs and videos I'm playing are putting me in a great mood too!

You should receive some kind of recognition for this effort, I think Buzzjack do awards for the best contributor, and right now for me that has to be you!

Also, when you reach 450 or 400 (whichever you choose) can you do a countdown post of the last 50/100 songs you posted so I can see them all on one page so to speak. Only if you have time of course.

Once again, thank you.

Well done on your psychic powers there

'Give It To Me' hasn't aged terribly but is nowhere near the best for any artist involved. Definitely a hit based on name power alone though I doubt I realized that at the time. A Nelly Furtado comeback is way overdue!

Posted by: gooddelta 11th July 2016, 10:53 AM

I've always loved Give It To Me, even if it's pretty forgotten now. It's quite subtle but the production is brilliant, as are some of the lyrics.

I love it. It's an average Timbaland production but that means that it was way above everything else at the time.

I remember you saying years ago that if it wasn't by those two featured artists it wouldn't have hit number 1. I'm surprised to see now that you love it.

Posted by: awardinary 11th July 2016, 09:42 PM

I've just caught up with the thread since you're amendments.

Rudimental and Ed Sheeran combined twice last year, so I assume that Bloodstream is slightly higher.

Whatever happened with Atomic Kitten?

Labrinth & Emeli Sande's duet has to be one of my favourite duets of all time. Just brilliant British vocals.

The Saturdays deserve to feature too with Up which was one of their greatest hits. Are they due a comeback soon?

Definitely want to see more from Timbaland an Nelly Furtado in the charts currently.

Next please!

Huge fan of Bruno Mars but not been that interested since the release of the 2nd album but I do like this a lot, reminds me of why I liked him when I heard his first album. Still not as good as the ballads on that album but still a good song.

Without wishing to sound critical as I appreciate the enormous amount of effort this must have taken, I'd be interested in seeing this chart if there had been a weighting to the positions in the top 10.

It's weird seeing 679, a track I don't think I even knew existed, appear in a top 500 of all time. Missing however is sublime and I'm pleased to see it make the countdown

'679' was a very unexpected one to appear here! I had actually forgotten that it went top 40 at all

Hooray for another Beatles appearance! 'From Me To You' is far from their best (this is true of a fair amount of their early output really) but is still a nice little song.

'I'll Be Missing You' A really gorgeous and emotional version of the Police classic, and also the song topping the chart the week I came into the world! *.*

'Sexyback' That Justin Timberlake era was on fire.

Hilltoppers "Only You" had a really weird chart run, it climbed incredibly slowly to eventually reach its peak of 3 in its 16th week, then plummeted the following week to 12 and stabilised for a couple of months..

A bit like Jade's 1993 hit "Don't Walk Away" which went 36-20-11-9-8-{7}-13-51, though I assume that drop was because of a deletion?
