On the subject of albums, Mumford and Sons' debut album becoming so big was also quite a shock.

Sir Newman providing 2 of the most iconic iTunes threads of the decade tbh (first by conquering the Loreen evil, then by crushing The Saturdays into oblivion) *.*

Even though I think it's not good to celebrate a person's death, The Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead campaign was quite amusing for me, mainly because of the controversy.
Plus Foals finally getting a number one album in the UK and Dominic The Donkey being so close to getting a record of 'longest time it took for a song to get to number one between its peak date and release date' |

Now That’s What I Call Music reaching the milestone of 100 volumes by 2018, a date I anticipated some 15 years before it arrived (based on the 3 volumes per year sequence).

One of my favourite battle for No. 1 was one week in October 2012.
Rihanna, One Direction, Ellie Goulding & Psy all competing for the top spot! It looked like OD were going all the way, but Rihanna was not far behind, both neck & neck in the updates. By the middle of the week it looked like “Diamonds” was going to be her seventh UK No. 1 Single... But of course Adele released “Skyfall” that Friday with only 48 hours left to spare. God it was nailbiting! iTunes that morning was just crazy!!! I was checking many websites early afternoon on Sunday to see if Rihanna had done it😎 |

The defining moment to me of the decade was when Ed Sheeran held most of the top 20 positions one week back in 2017. It changed forever how the charts were compiled. It led to total artificiality as the compilers sought more ways to change the nature of the charts. First was "three songs per main act". Once that was introduced it led to a number of other changes, including the introduction of ACR.
Which in turn led to the most bizarre situation where Ed Sheeran was number 1... but the song was removed from the chart due to a combination of the "three tracks per artist" rule and ACR. In July 2019 'I Don't Care' had moved to ACR and in one week was the fourth highest positioned track by Ed. Yet had it not been for ACR it would have been number 1. And therefore would have not been the fourth placed song by Ed. Instead it dropped completely from the charts, from number 3 the previous week, only to re-enter at number 3 the next week. It turned the charts into a total farce. |

Oh yeah, Shallow/ASIB chart success is surely THE moment of the decade too?

QUOTE(Bré @ Jan 1 2020, 04:27 AM) 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 Yep, there was no Spotify data that week (probably due to a combination of the 5-day week and Spotify's own charts having fallen behind at the time), and Apple Music had only launched a week earlier so the remaining non-Spotify data was very small: QUOTE(Mart!n @ Jul 10 2015, 05:42 PM) 1 David Zowie 54,929 53,223 1,706 Which produced a pretty funny streaming chart with four Taylor Swift entries/re-entries in the top 50 even though 90% of streamers couldn't access her music. 'House Every Weekend' was ahead of 'Shine' on Spotify the whole time though (helped by having been available long in advance), so if Spotify data was present it would've only helped it pull further ahead.2 Years & Years 54,018 51,780 2,238 However, 'Shine' was closing the gap over the course of the week (it was 5.5k behind on the first midweek update, compared to 900 copies in the end), so if it had been a full 7-day week, 'Shine' may well have gotten the #1 (possibly depending on if this hypothetical 7-day week included Spotify or not). The same no-Spotify problem happened to the New Zealand charts that week (even though releases were already on Fridays there so no 5-day week was needed), which gave local artist Avalanche City a #1 hit that went 7-1-6. On an unrelated note |

QUOTE(Rush @ Jan 1 2020, 01:01 AM) On an unrelated note Both 'Walking With Elephants' and 'Bullit' were both very unpoppy dance top 10 hits. Not completely unexpected top 10 hits though as dance was so big in the charts during this time. Zhu - Faded I liked better though because the synth riff after the drop reminded me of Kraftwerk and other early electronic music.

Bullit wasn't a top 10 hit sadly, streaming scuppered its chances.
