September 11, 201115 yr (Barry) Islands In The Steam went 1-3-23-out. Ah yes, that was such an in-joke of a song, completely unfunny and irrelevant to anybody who'd never watched the programme and therefore oddly niche for a Comic Relief single. At least Amarillo had a variety of different people/cultural references in the music video to give it wider appeal.
September 11, 201115 yr Re; 'What A Wonderful World' wasn't that song only available to buy via Tesco?
September 11, 201115 yr RATM {1}-2-40->3 That did at least have four more weeks in 1993, seven in the top 75 is very poor but not abominable.
September 11, 201115 yr imean as in the artist...cher was expected to do well with loads of promotion whereas i was totally shocked when nero got to no1!! I wasn't, I knew it'd get there as there was nothing else out that could've done. Ordinarily it still would have been a comfortable top 5 hit anyway though.
September 11, 201115 yr probab,lly only has 2 weeks left top 40.must be one of the longest continuous runners in there now? It is *the* longest continuous runner, although Adele has 2 singles with longer top 40 runs that haven't been continuous (RITD on 23 and SLY on 31)
September 11, 201115 yr I think these charity songs with terrible chart runs for a #1 are overlooked due to the big sales compensating for it.

September 11, 201115 yr Re; 'What A Wonderful World' wasn't that song only available to buy via Tesco? as far as I remember you're correct, it was a Tesco only release.
September 11, 201115 yr Otis! :wub: One of the best songs in the top 40 imo. It's the very worst thing in here IMHO. Now Cher's gone :lol:
September 11, 201115 yr For such a fabulous album, why did they release this? It is good, but by far one of the worst on the album - 'Who Gon Stop Me' would have been massive.
September 11, 201115 yr Very good song this, it's grown on me. Clever sampling. I can't help feeling it's a poorer version of 'Gold Digger' without a chorus but I still love it nonetheless. Edited September 11, 201115 yr by Bré
September 11, 201115 yr I wish Otis would go away :puke: maybe I just don't get it, but it's horrible!
September 11, 201115 yr 29 (from 33) Example - Changed The Way You Kiss Me [D] http://a1.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Music/3c/8b/93/mzi.zelnpzdh.100x100-75.jpg Chart Run: 1-1-2-2-4-7-9-17-21-23-29-28-33-29 [14 wks] Release date: 05-06-2011 Format: download only single Label: Ministry Of Sound Video here: CLXt3yh2g0s Chart history (Year peak title): 2009 19 Watch The Sun Come Up 2010 06 Won't Go Quietly 2010 03 Kickstarts 2010 27 Last Ones Standing 2010 29 Monster (Professor Green Feat.

September 11, 201115 yr Changed The Way You Kiss Me has climbed :wub: 14 weeks top 40, hopefully it can manage at least one more. Stay Awake will be lucky to do 10 though. :(
September 11, 201115 yr For such a fabulous album, why did they release this? It is good, but by far one of the worst on the album - 'Who Gon Stop Me' would have been massive. Who Gon Stop Me would honestly be HUGE here. Such a tune. I think Lift Off would be big aswell. Their next single is Niggas in Paris though, I believe.
September 11, 201115 yr Interesting to see Changed The Way You Kiss Me at #3 on iTunes Germany now, he's going global :o
