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

Pixie Lott did it I think, with Boys and Girls.

 

Can't think of anyone else outside of charity singles.

BAG never made #1 on iTunes.

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:

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.
