October 9, 201114 yr I can't think of anyone who's done 4 in a year!! I'll keep looking though :D Kylie actually had 4 #2 singles in 1988 i.e Got To Be Certain, The Locomotion, Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi and Especially For You as Especially For You spent the whole holiday period at #2 and only got to #1 in 1989.

October 9, 201114 yr the version of Wherever You Will Go is very good, but its the original for me any day I'm afraid, I guess that just shows how good the song is
October 9, 201114 yr The point was peaking at #2 though. Yes, peaking at #2 in a calendar year. Especially For You DID peak at #2 in 1988.
October 9, 201114 yr I think everyone's forgotten about the most obvious 'most #2's in a year', Elvis had 8 in 2005 as part of that awful reissues series, clearly that tally will never be beaten :lol: Sure they were all re-issues of old hits but I'd still say that it counts.
October 9, 201114 yr Author Yes, peaking at #2 in a calendar year. Especially For You DID peak at #2 in 1988. Pedant - the point was songs overall peak being in one year.
October 9, 201114 yr I don't understand what people mean when they saw Florence is flopping - she's lucky she even got a T40 peak out of 'Shake It Out'. 'Kiss With a Fist', 'Drumming Song', 'Heavy in Your Arms' and 'Cosmic Love' all failed to crack the T40 all togehter - so [sIO] is only her fifth T40 (including the Dizzee Rascal collaboration). Likewise with Marina, I think a #25 debut is fine (although disappointing) for 'Radioactive'. Remember that Marina is still an 'alternative' act, so her fans may not have agreed with this dance-move - hopefully the album is more like 'Fear and Loathing'. Big tumbles for Leona Lewis, Ed Sheeran, Example and Will Young this week - the former two especially will no doubt drop out next week and for #4 peaks haven't sold much at all.
October 9, 201114 yr Do you know what? KONNIE HUQ would do the chart better than this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCp7LH-TvJc
October 9, 201114 yr 'Wherever You Will Go' is such a cringe-worthy song, not matter who it's performed by. :puke:
October 9, 201114 yr Annoyed that Bruno never made a music video for MY. It would have been another top 10 for him. Now his streak is broken.
October 9, 201114 yr Author 18 (from 13) Calvin Harris - Feel So Close [D] http://cdn.hmvdigital.com/static/img/sleeveart/00/013/445/0001344525_100.jpg Chart Run: 2-5-7-7-12-13-18 [7 wks] Release date: 21-08-2011 Format: download only single Label: Columbia Scottish kitsch-dance producer, Calvin Harris, burst on to the UK music scene with his tongue-in-cheek single, "Acceptable In The 80s", which reached number 10 in the UK singles chart. A blend of retro synth sounds, and knowing lyrics it set the template for Harris' debut full length, I CREATED DISCO, released in June 2007. The album was preceded by Harris' second single, "The Girls", which upping the ante with it's ironic claims of sexual attractiveness--set to a synth sample from the Human League--the single shot top number 3 in the single charts. - HMV Video here: dGghkjpNCQ8 Download Track Listing 1.

October 9, 201114 yr Author Talking to Calvin later? That pretty much confirms who's no.1 then. Not 100% - he has spoken to the #2 before. But I agree it is likely now :(
October 9, 201114 yr http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCp7LH-TvJc Have you ever thought of applying for the job yourself :D
