March 18, 201213 yr "The last song to spend four consecutive weeks at number one was Adele’s Someone Like You in February and March last year." "The last song with a male lead vocal to spend four consecutive weeks at the summit was Dizzee Rascal’s Dance Wiv Me in summer 2008" Missing out Party Rock Anthem on both counts (although the Basshunter part still holds) :P Edited March 18, 201213 yr by Bréyhound
