Shakira is a fine example, has any other tracks, gone to No.1 in this sequence, or is this an achievement in its itself

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.

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

Errr... 'Wisemen' reached a peak of No 23 in March 2006. Could it be you mean 'You're Ugly' (sic) back in 2005?

Well for the other way round Push The Button went:

 

1-1-1-2-3-

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->

Breakfast At Tiffany's by Deep Blue Something moved 3-2-1 also.

Cheers, I just wondered.

 

Err No... What about Deep Blue Something in October 1996? :huh:

Deep Blue Something did I think????

Busted's first 3 singles charted at #3,#2,#1 bless them :lol:

Actually, Shakira kinda of did a 5,4,3,2,1 - her first chart appearence was at #54 ^_^

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.

#3,# 2, #1, #3, #1, #1, #2, #1 for all of them :P

 

Yeh innit - eat that McCrap

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.. :) )
