I thought that more acts would have returned to the top spot, but for so many years the amount is negligible.

QUOTE(MFR @ Oct 18 2010, 10:53 PM)  I may be one of the few people not surprised by Mr Blobby's return to the top, because Take That were already becoming first-week specialists, as everyone was soon to become. When the presenter's tease was "or has Mr Blobby returned to number 1?" I was virtually certain that would be what had happened. And first-week sales not being maintained was a cause of some of the other occurences. Nothing to do with samples or chart compilers. The more records hang around the more they hang around. It's probably worth mentioning that Take That's Babe single initially came in a rather splendid, spiral-bound 1994 calendar, which fans such as myself made sure they bought on the first day of release. That probably helped to spike sales even more in week one than their previous singles and let them drop enough in week two. (It had more to do with Mr. Blobby's ridiculous popularity at the time though, sadly.) Chig |

If Lily Allen does return to number one it looks like it will be the first song to move from number 4 to 1 on its return

Interestingly no-one managed it in the 70's or 80's.

QUOTE(Common Sense @ Dec 7 2013, 08:08 AM) Interestingly no-one managed it in the 70's or 80's. As I am sure you will remember, for a long time most singles climbed to a peak then fell down the chart without any other changes of direction. It was unusual for a single to fall and then climb back up (apart from over Christmas / New Year). |

I've just split some of the longer chart runs onto 2 lines to prevent the first page of this thread from stretching.

I was most suprised for example to see Samantha Sang's "Emotions" retun to the Top 20 in March 78, I think that was probably the first occurence since I had been following the chart |

Yes, you're right. I only started following (and writing down) the Top 20 in early 77.

John Lennon's, "Just Like Starting Over", originally a top 10 hit I seem to remember, leapt back into the top 20 by going strait to number one, but sadly for all the wrong reasons

It was unusual for a single to fall and then climb back up (apart from over Christmas / New Year). There were some exceptions, such as You Should Be Dancing and Silver Star. And in the early 1980s we had Say Say Say, which jumped up to #3 having appeared to have peaked at #10. |
