July 19, 201014 yr Garbage - Shut Your Mouth 20 - Out :cry: Also a mention to the Eurythmics - not a chart run, but chart placings - Apart from #7 they have peaked at every spot between #1 and #12 with only one single. Quite a rare feat i'd imagine. #1 - There Must be an Angel #2 - Sweet Dreams #3 - Who's That Girl #4 - Sexcrime #5 - Thorn in My Side #6 - Love is a Stranger #8 - Here Comes the Rain Again #9 - Sisters are doing it for themselves #10 - Right By Your Side # 11 - I Saved the World Today # 12 - It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back) Edited July 19, 201014 yr by Glyn
July 19, 201014 yr Oh that's an interesting thread and I have a question that always bothered me: We have a member called 6weeksatnumber7. He had also the chart run in his sig (without artist or song title though), but can't find it anymore, he hasn't posted for a while. Can anyone remember which song spent 6 weeks at number 7? Surely one of these guys with databases could do a search :lol:
July 19, 201014 yr Eat dirt Shakira..... The Beatles - She Loves You - 12-3-{1}-1-1-1-3-3-3-2-2-3-2-1-1-2-2-2-3-5-5-8-16-19-21-23-28-33-35-42-48-42R(2)-47->33 Frankie Laine - I Believe - 11-8-4-{1}-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-1-1-1-2-2-2-3-2-2-4-6-5-7-4-6-10->36 Edited July 19, 201014 yr by tonyttt31
July 19, 201014 yr We've had some weird charts runs recently TiK ToK - 6 - 6 - 7 -7 -7 - 5 - 11 - 10 - 4 (peaking 9 weeks after it debuted at #6 :lol:) and then it started going down in two's (12 - 14 - 16 - 18) before then spending three weeks at #38. :o (although not consecutive) Starstrukk - 5 - 5 - 6 - 3 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 7 - 6 - 10 She Said - 3 - 3 - 4 - 4 - 3 - 3 - 6 - 8 The annoying thing is, though, is that these songs have massive sales but suffer lower peaks than the awful songs usually above them. And this chart run is incredible... Rockferry (album) 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 2 - 1 - 4 - 4 - 3 - 3 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 4 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 3 - 3 - 7 - 4 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 7 - 10 - 10 :o
July 19, 201014 yr I believe the chart run of The Verve's Urban Hymns album has it at 22 consecutive weeks in the Top 3. I could be wrong.
July 19, 201014 yr I can solve the 6 weeks at Number 7 mystery! I messaged him almost two years ago about it and he had this to say: It's invented to match the username .... but don't give away the secret He doesn't seem to post here anymore so hope it's ok to have said this!
July 19, 201014 yr Author I find songs spent some time within 71-75 positions charming as well. I wonder if there are any that any of you remember? :o

July 19, 201014 yr Keri Hilson's 'I Like' has a very weird chart run too. It only peaked at around #34 but spent 5/6 weeks in the top 40 consecutively. I think that's pretty impressive. I'd like to see the chart-run for Lonestar's Amazed as well. It is the biggest-selling single never to reach the top 20. :o
July 19, 201014 yr Lonestar "Amazed" (2000) 24-23-30-36-32-30-28-26-{21}-23-22-22-21-26-30-35-37-42-51-57-64-73 ...and at the opposite end: Shut Up And Dance "Raving I'm Raving" (1992) {2}-15 ^I think it was deleted because of complaints about the sample used in it.
July 19, 201014 yr Lonestar "Amazed" (2000) 24-23-30-36-32-30-28-26-{21}-23-22-22-21-26-30-35-37-42-51-57-64-73 Thanks. :D I think that's a pretty solid chart run for a song never to peak higher than #21. And let's remember that it was released prior to the download era.
July 19, 201014 yr I like Avril Lavigne's 'Girlfriend' chart-run-wise: 73 - 3 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 3 - 5 - 9... Very strange how it didn't get to #1 since it "debuted" at #3 two weeks before physical release in 2007. One of those rare occasions where a HUGE #2 was kept off by something even bigger, kind of like what happened with Natalie Imbruglia's 'Torn'. I'll revisit this topic with some chart runs later on. :P
July 19, 201014 yr 7 Seconds by Youssou N'Dour and Neneh Cherry was another slow grower 40-35-36-26-24-24-18-11-8-4-4-3-7-9-14-25-35-37-47-64-74-68-60-54-66 A peak of number 3 in week 12.
July 19, 201014 yr Altogether, or consecutive? consecutive as far as I remember I can solve the 6 weeks at Number 7 mystery! I messaged him almost two years ago about it and he had this to say: He doesn't seem to post here anymore so hope it's ok to have said this! Oh that must be the solution! (If he told really the truth) Thanks Rob :D
July 19, 201014 yr They may have already be mentioned but these songs all fell one spot to every position in the top 5: Dickie Valentine - "Finger Of Suspicion" (1954) [1-2-3-4-5-5-4-9-17] Tommy Edwards - "It's All In The Game" (1958) [1-2-3-4-5-4-8-11-15-27] Michael Jackson - "You Are Not Alone" (1995) [1-2-3-4-5-7-9-13-25-30-31] Eminem - "The Real Slim Shady" (2000) [1-2-3-4-5-7-8-10-11-15-23-33-38] These songs all went 1-4-8-16, so they halved their position each week: Chicago - "If You Leave Me Now" (1976) Ian & The Blockheads - "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" (1978) Abba - "The Winner Takes It All" (1980) Wet Wet Wet - "Love Is All Around" (1994) And this, well see for yourself :lol: Johnnie Ray - "Such A Night" (1954) 1-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-3-7-7-9-10-12 also these singles all had 'symmetrical' runs: Gloria Estefan - "Get On Your Feet" (1989) 34-23-23-34 The Beloved - "The Sun Rising" (1989) 37-26-26-37 Re-Flex - "The Politics Of Dancing" (1984) 34-28-28-34 Eric Clapton - "Wonderful Tonight (live)" (1991) 35-30-30-35 Oh and heres the full run for Frank Sinatras 'My Way' 50-43-23-17-16-9-6-6-{5}-5-7-7-21-20-27-28-31-43-26-41-50-33-40-33-38-39-35-45-38-31-42-44-48-49-49-48-46-49-42-42-37-50-49R(2)- 49R(4)-30-32-30-40-43R(2)-40-38-33-44-43-42-45-41-42R(3)-41-43-45-48-35-45-37-44-49-49-42-44-36-30-40-30-28-28-34-35-33R(2)-25-24- 26-26-18-31-21-23-24-29-29-31-32-31-28-37R(2)-22-25-26-23-33-38-31-45-44-39-41-35-36-36-39-40-38-45-49R(5)-46-42-43-39-39-42-50-50R just 7 of its 122 weeks were spent in the top 10 :lol: heres quite an odd one as well, Frankie Laine I Believe 11-8-4-{1}-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-1-1-1-2-2-2-3-2-2-4-6-5-7-4-6-10-> you werent really sure whether it was coming or going :lol: Edited July 19, 201014 yr by *Ben*
July 19, 201014 yr One really recent one that springs to mind is Gettin' Over You although it sort of ruined itself this week :lol: 1 - 4 - 7 - 10 - 13 - 16 - (18).
July 19, 201014 yr There was that awful deletion rule in 2006 which meant singles would disappear, however high they were up the charts. Most notable would be these two #1 singles that vanished from out of the Top 10, both re-entering the Top 40 when the rule was amended. 01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-02-05-OUT-30-51-49-54-66-OUT-66-67-OUT [Gnarls Barkley - Crazy] 08-01-01-01-02-04-04-07-10-OUT-38-45-69-OUT-71-OUT [Nelly Furtado - Maneater]

I didn't pay attention to the charts as much in 2006, so can someone tell me what this deletion rule was? :o
