October 11, 201113 yr 933 - Daniel Merriweather - Change - 9,581 plays gvz2PLiHyo4&ob This plummeted down the charts! I'm assuming "Red" is very high up, possibly top 100.
October 11, 201113 yr Author This plummeted down the charts! I'm assuming "Red" is very high up, possibly top 100. Im suprised this is even in the chart. Never heard it till today. Not going to give you exact position but Red did very well.

October 11, 201113 yr Thanks for doing it. It's an interesting read. :D A lot of surprises already tbh. Like it's a strange though that 21 Questions got a similar amount of plays to Fallin' by Alicia Keys, for example! :o I still seem to hear the latter on the radio all the time. :lol: I've only heard 21 Questions once this year (on Radio 1's Wonder Years once, was a very pleasent surprise to hear it again! :D). I doubt many of 50 Cent's songs made it. I wouldn't be surprised if Ayo Technology didn't even make the top 5000. :lol: It's strange that Lonely by Akon is so low, considering it was so massive! :o I felt like I heard it a lot, but that was probably down to my choice of station.
October 11, 201113 yr 928 - The View - Same Jeans - 9,672 plays RpXTISw_Huw&ob Love this song a lot. They never produced anything this good again though. -x- Unpopular opinion (?) but 'Change' is a LOT better than 'Red' and I still have no idea how it did so badly - or more specifically how it did so badly yet peaked so high.

Fallen was released in 2001. The airplay chart only started being published in 2002 so all songs pre-2002 will seem to have lower plays on radio. Fallen would be a lot higher if we had figures for that period.

October 11, 201113 yr 931 - Space Cowboy - I would die for you - 9,606 plays 1vmFkb5M0uI How on Earth did this song get in?! It was a total flop (#55), and it's not like it's normal for dance songs to have airplay far exceeding their level of sales, mainly because of the whole faceless thing that kind of goes with the genre. And it's not like he had any hits before (or after) this either. I wouldn't have even heard this track at the time if it wasn't included on Now 52! Did it really get so much airplay? What is the general level of radio support (in terms of rough peak, I guess) needed to get in the bottom reaches here anyway? Obviously it's not THAT high as we're in a sort of hits but not exactly big hits kind of area at the moment, with a few radio favourites like KT Tunstall thrown in with some of their less successful singles. Regardless, by far the biggest WTF in the countdown thus far. Would have expected Bodies and Lost Without You to be higher, although the former was overshadowed by You Know Me a bit I guess.

It spent 16 weeks on the bottom half of airplay top 100.
