We touched on this earlier in the year with Rockstar, but has any single ever taken more than 13 weeks (continuous chart run) to climb into the top 15, as Gabriella Cilmi's 'Sweet About Me' just has?

I remember the thread earlier in the year on Nickelback. I think we worked out that "Think Twice", by Celine Dion was one. The one I mentioned then was "So Macho", by Sinitta. She had a see-saw ride, up and down a top 200...and took 21 weeks to make the top 15, in July 1986. |

James Blunt - You're Beautiful debuted at #13 and took like 3 or 4 weeks to climb to the top, I think.

QUOTE(trevs @ Jun 2 2008, 06:47 PM) I remember the thread earlier in the year on Nickelback. Think Twice reached the top 15 in its 8th week on the chart. So Macho did it in week 6 (vidcapper was asking for songs reaching the top 15 in a continuous run).I think we worked out that "Think Twice", by Celine Dion was one. The one I mentioned then was "So Macho", by Sinitta. She had a see-saw ride, up and down a top 200...and took 21 weeks to make the top 15, in July 1986. The only two I can think of are White Lines by Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel, which took 21 weeks to reach the top 15 and The Power Of Love by Jennifer Rush which reached #15 on its 14th week on the chart. |

as much as i hate how downloads are taking over, i do like the fact that songs have to climb to their peak. It was boring having songs just peaking in the first week and then just falling, as most of them did.

I couldn't agree with you more. They used to do this until mid-1995. Then like you said they became boring, uninteresting and predictable. |

and these ones took a while to peak too, although none of them apply to what Vidcapper is asking (thanks to Polyhex for chart runs):
