BuzzJack Music Forum _ UK Charts _ Chart weeks in which two or more 'classics' were released
Posted by: gooddelta 23rd November 2014, 09:34 AM
Can anyone think of any chart weeks where two or more songs that would go on to become classics were released in the same week? I'll start off:
W/E 3/6/2000
Sonique - It Feels So Good
S Club 7 - Reach
Pretty unfortunate for Reach to run into Sonique for 3 weeks in a row, it's probably their signature song, or at least on par with Don't Stop Movin'.
W/E 27/10/2000
Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love
Take That - Rule The World
Both million sellers, Rule The World would have topped the chart on pretty much any other week in 2007 with the sale it had

I guess the obvious one is w/e 15/12/84
1 - "Do They Know It's Christmas" - Band Aid
2 - "Last Christmas"/"Everything She Wants" - Wham!

^^You can add Frankie to the 1984 chart too although it was No1 the week before!

So it was not released that week as the topic stated

From 1997
Spice Girls-Spice Up Your Life
Aqua-Barbie Girl
And
Janet Jackson-Together Again
Robbie Williams-Angels
Teletubbies released a million seller that week too-but would we count that as a 'classic'?

I don't know if I'm stretching it to call Runaway by The Corrs a 'classic' but it was released on the same week as Baby One More Time. I was devastated.

I would count Runaway but then I'm biased.

I just thought it was worth a mention as I love the song lol

How about most million sellers in the top 100 at any given time?

But this is based on weeks 2 classics were new entries and not when 2 classics were in the same chart but were released on different weeks

It's stretching it less than Sonique!
On the other hand, that was the third time 'Runaway' had been released.

I guess it's a classic in certain dance circles, even though it seems to be becoming more and more forgotten as time goes on. For the record I've never actually cared much for the song, or any of her material.

I suppose everyone's idea of what songs are considered classics will differ.
Week Ending 18/03/1989
Madonna - Like A Prayer
Guns N Roses - Paradise City
In my humble opinion, both of these have stood the test of time well.
Week Ending 08/12/1973
Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday
Elton John - Step Into Christmas
Elton didn't make the top 40 that week, but entered next week where Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody was also a new entry. Who'd have thought that 40 years later they would all be Christmas classics?

03/04/1999
Aphex Twin - Windowlicker
System F - Out of the Blue

all three were the peak of the respective genres for many.

Moloko - The Time Is Now
Melanie C Featuring Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes - Never Be The Same Again
