As Mark Ronson looks set to stall at number 2, I thought we'd look back at some other weekly number 2 or lower peaks.

Technically he's falling to Number 2, not stalling at Number 2 That's an interesting list though, anyone know what the all-time highest weekly sale for a #2 is? Could it possibly be 'Last Christmas'? "Last Christmas" sold 500,000 copies in its first week but still, it remains the fastest selling single which failed to reach number 1 |

I think one of Sash's singles had huge sales when it was at #2 behind "Candle In The Wind '97".

I think it was Dario G that was behind Candle In the Wind, but it only did about 85k..
Victoria Becham had huge sales behind Spiller in 2000 This post has been edited by fiesta: Dec 18 2014, 02:59 PM |
