Suedehead, when you say Die Antwoord conjures up images of a death metal band, I assume you know 'Die' in this sense doesn't mean 'cease to live' but is actually the Afrikaans word for 'The'?

I did know that, yes. It was the Antwoord which sounded like a death metal band :lol:

Spotted a mistake - Airplanes isn't the longest running top 40 single, that'd be The Man Who Can't Be Moved (21 weeks)

 

Unless you just mean consecutive :P

No, it's a mistake. I hadn't looked up how long TMWCBM had spent in the top 40 on its first run :ph34r:

Thank you! Do you have a Top 10 version of this? Would like to see how many weeks blockbusters like Gold by Abba and Queen's Greatest Hits have collected.

'Gold', by ABBA, spent 58 Weeks in the Top 10. (433 - so far - in the Top 75).

 

'Greatest Hits' by Queen, is the UK's Best Selling Album, but it 'only' spent

23 Weeks in the Top 10. It spent 472 Weeks on the Chart, but 'only' 410 of

those were in the Top 75. Its other 62 Weeks are Positions from 76 to 100,

when the entire Top 100 was used for Chart Books. (August 1981 to January

1989).

 

The Queen Album, that spent the most Weeks in the Top 10, was their 1984

Album, 'The Works. It was in the Top 10 for 25 Weeks. Ironically, it was not

one of their 9 No.1 Albums. It Peaked at No.2 - for 3 Weeks - non-consecutive.

Thanks a lot! I thought Gold and both of Queen's GHs would've done better. Especially Gold regarding the fact it's re-entered Top 10 so many times.

 

Queen also have the GH package which might have affected the sales of those separate GHs
