For me, along with those already mentioned and the introduction of streaming to the charts in the summer of 2014, it would have be Kiesza getting to #1 in April 2014 with “Hideaway”. One of my favourite #1s of the decade and the last time I shared a personal chart #1 with the official UK #1 single.
The only other occasion it happened in the 2010s was in 2013 with Daft Punk (“Get Lucky”). |

QUOTE(AcerBen @ Dec 31 2019, 11:31 AM)  Although it is great not to have to wait weeks to get hold of a single these days (though tbh I had my ways of "obtaining" them pre-release anyway!), I much preferred the chart in the days of a pre-release build up with the aim of entering in the top 10. The chart seemed to be working quite nicely in the first half of the decade just before the (re-)introduction of OAOS around 2015, where holding back singles worked well for a lot of artists, but it wasn't necessarily the end of the story if you didn't do first week out. It was a happy medium of a chart that was reasonably fast-paced and it felt like everyone stood a chance of doing well. And as someone who is a proper 90s/early 00s pop lover, in hindsight I wish I'd appreciated 2012-2014 more than I did at the time, because it was a great time for pop. Yeh I know you love the high entries as a 90s chart listener but I just felt looking back at 2012-14 time it led to a fast moving chart but became a bit ridiculous that there would be literally a new no1 every week as artists moved release date to get the top spot(sometimes missing out of thousands of potential buyers) and then fell relatively quickly afterwards as there was no build up of appeal for the song or people had obtained the song by other means. We had No1s for artists like Riton never to be seen again. Some of the longest runners/genuinely popular songs ended up being the biggest hits such as All Of Me or Thinking Out Loud. Things came to ahead when Uptown Funk was performed a month before release on the 2014 XF final and the performing artist was selling bucketloads online clearly losing sales for the original so Mark Ronsons label were forced to release 5 weeks before impact release. That was the beginning of the end of held back music and other labels like MoS were forced kicking and screaming into the new world order in 2015. I understand now the chart can be slow but think the ACR rules have tried their best to represent popularity with oaos and streaming behaviour when people will listen to a song numerous times so it would hang around much longer.

The OA/OS obligation was definitely the best moment. The Charts were at their most ridiculous when fake versions kept flooding the Charts. Most farcical scenario of this was the Cheerleader situation where it had been held back for the best part of 6 months for no real reason whatsoever. Jess Glynne managed to grab a 3-week #1 with no competition at all (save for Nick Jonas - another great chart moment on this Forum especially) before then it nearly screwed itself over completely by releasing the same time as See You Again. It was VERY luckily it had enough enduring popularity to still get a month at #1 thereafter...

Ding Dong the Witch is Dead almost topping the charts following Margaret Thatcher's death and everyone thrown off completely. Perhaps a little insensitive but still a classic moment *.

Still wonder what young people thought of this at the time as they hadn't heard of her before. |

For me it would be seeing how dramatically and how quickly the chart changed whenever a song was performed on a TV show in the earlier years of the decade. Also linked to that was the top 10 effects songs would get on iTunes once they broke into the top 10.

Cool, I never did about her in history mainly in politics lessons and was in school in the 90s anyway. I'd say a lot who maybe don't like politics/history wouldn't understand as much. |

Another iconic moment for me was when videos like this one blew up on Youtube making Harlem Shake a viral #3 hit in 2013!

It also meant poor Lost Frequencies spent the shortest time at #1 ever as he had the last Sunday #1. |

There was also missing data that week I'm pretty sure? (Which gave Birdy's 'Wings' and James Bay's 'Let It Go' top 10 peaks that they probably shouldn't have had iirc, although I don't remember if it called into question whether or not Y&Y should have been #1). Whatever the circumstances, Zowie definitely got extremely lucky. And 'Shine' never got to be #1 as a result which is an absolute win

ICONIC Shallow reaching #1, without support by BBC Radio 1. Long may it smash (it reaches 1 billion listens on Spotify very soon)
Total dominations of Adele albums and Ed Sheeran singles David Bowie and Prince passing away  Those were more like cultural moments but still. |

Dubstep becoming a thing in the early part of the decade, and introducing us to something completely different to anything else in the charts..
'The Swarm' and 'Drown becoming very unlikely rock hits - well 'Drown' was probably more unexpected than 'The Swarm' but both heavy rock and completely different to anything else in the chart. Duke Dumont/AME and then Storm Queen becoming #1 - I didn't like them so much but it was undeniably a massive change in dance music trends. Gangnam Style bringing K-pop to the UK chart for the first time. Furthermore on the subject of novelty songs - Swede Mason's remix of Masterchef about a Buttery Biscuit Base going top 40 was quite a moment too. QUOTE Actually you've just reminded me of Precision Tunes making #9 with “Payphone”! ICONIC. *.* I preferred it when Can You Blow My went top 40 - brilliant artist name!

QUOTE(slowdown73 @ Dec 31 2019, 02:16 PM) Adele’s success with 21. It was earth shattering. Selling over 5 million copies in the U.K. alone. TBH I can't see an album selling so many copies again, especially so many CD's too. Even Adele won't. |

Here's some off the top of my head~
- Somebody That I Used to Know reaching #1 (this would've been unthinkable a year prior, especially during the 'club banger' era) - Get Lucky blowing up so suddenly - Feel It Still taking off in the UK despite resistance from radio/hot hits - Adele's domination in 2011 - Drake's 15 week run - LadBaby becoming a chart icon - Foals finally scoring a #1 album - Everything Everything managing a top 40 single somehow - the week Love Me Again got to #1 for...certain reasons - various #psychic7 moments (too many to even name at once) |
