Posted March 26, 201015 yr Seeing Lady Gaga has been held off number 1 on itunes, I was just wondering if theres been any other songs that have reached number 1 in the UK singles chart, but haven't in the itunes chart Charity singles are an obvious one, but has there ever been a mainstream song that hasn't made it to top itunes but has manager to be number 1 officially
March 26, 201015 yr Pixie Lott did it I think, with Boys and Girls. Can't think of anyone else outside of charity singles.

March 26, 201015 yr Pixie's BAG and Gaga's 'Telephone' both didn't reach #1, but had multiple versions in the Top 20. Both, therefore, were combined #1 on iTunes. Doesn't really count! Possibly Peter Kay last year? :blink:

Possibly Peter Kay last year? :blink: Pixie was #1 combined for a very short while, but that's it. It was physical sales that helped her win the battle in the end. Still, point taken. He said excluding charity singles. ;) So it's fair to assume there hasn't been anybody in recent years. Surely when iTunes counted for less in 2006/2007 there were some, but I can't remember that far back. Edited March 26, 201015 yr by superbossanova
