Posted July 2, 200619 yr Shakira is a fine example, has any other tracks, gone to No.1 in this sequence, or is this an achievement in its itself
July 2, 200619 yr Good point ! erm..I'll get back to you on that one. ;) Snap - Rhythm is a dancer is the recentest nearest .. 13-6-3-2-2-1.. but not a direct '3-2-1' though. But the last time a UK #1 went '3-2-1' was in 1991. The Simpsons - Do the Bartman : 11-3-2-1 Before that,Cliff Richard - Saviours Day went '3-2-1' in time for Christmas in 1990.
July 2, 200619 yr Well for the other way round Push The Button went: 1-1-1-2-3- But I'm sure that's happened alot more often :D

July 3, 200619 yr i would love all the number 1's to getto number this way ,be around a couple of weeks then climb to the top,,i loved the way james blunt climbed to number 1 with wisemen a few months back Errr... 'Wisemen' reached a peak of No 23 in March 2006. Could it be you mean 'You're Ugly' (sic) back in 2005?
July 3, 200619 yr Well for the other way round Push The Button went: 1-1-1-2-3- But I'm sure that's happened alot more often :D I remember that both You Are Not Alone by Michael Jackson and The Real Slim Shady by Eminem both went 1-2-3-4-5->

July 3, 200619 yr plus Deep Blue Something, polyhex. Technically, it would fall under the second category too, as it entered the chart at #3, after a spell in the chart earlier in the year.

Yep, it's the only one that seems to do that as well. (I didn't search for re-entries as I didn't think there would be any.. :) )
