I'm very happy for his success and hopefully this will encourage him to put out a more radio friendly album. He's a way better producer than David Guetta/Calvin Harris.

What kind of stupid rule is that?

Quite sensible, imo! Well a top 100 should be just that, the 100 best selling songs. If it annoys them that songs hang around for ages then how about quit adding streams to the chart (I know they had this rule before streams kicked in but this should at least improve it) or make it a top 50. Rant over

Don't slap me, cuz I'm not in the mood Joined: 24 March 2006 Posts: 1,236 User: 303	I agree that One Sweet Day is not a great song and hasn't aged well, but I don't like the idea of its record being broken mostly because I hate these ultra long running #1s. We're back to 10 years ago when only 8-10 singles reach #1 every year...

This only counts if their overall "points" decreased tho (which is the case most of the time)
