What about "sub-number 1" instead of "non-number 1"? "Sub" can mean low, as in low sales, low number of weeks on chart...

Boyfriend is such a non-number 2 -_-

No, it's definitely a number two. A big pile of number two.

Primadonna :wub:

Shame it weren't 12 but 13 will do :D

Good to see this holding up nicely, such a good pop song! Shame it couldn't get Top 10 but if it has longevity I'll be pleased.

Pleasing to see Marina not plummeting! With 'Electra Heart' out tomorrow it shouldn't fall much (if at all) next week either and could even climb.

The term non number 1 is sticking, despite what some would like. It doesn't make logical sense on purpose (rather like the non number ones themselves).

2009 50 Heartbreaker (MSTRKRFT Feat. John Legend)

2010 65 Getting Nowhere (Magnetic Man Feat. John Legend)

not much of a fall then! :D hopefully it can remain stable for a couple more weeks, a 59p reduction on itunes would help.

I'm still blindly hoping it will get top 10 next week with the album version added on, of course it's unlikely but we can dream. It should at least only fall one or two places next week anyway.

The terminology of a non number one is an oxymoron on purpose though!

 

 

It's not an oxymoron, just when applied to these sort of records it's downright contradictory.

First I've heard it :cry: :unsure: LOVES IT!!!! so better late than never :wub:

Ugh at this borefest ahead of Marina.

Thats the point.

This is still the group's only #1 in their career. But it's not their best tune. I give that too either "I Wouldn't Believe Your Radio" or "Mr. Writer" for that honor

A non-entity is something that isn't particularly important or useful, so i don't see the problem with a non-number 1 being an unimportant, forgettable #1 song.

She Doesn't Mind :wub:

Still prefer "Got 2 Luv U" by far, was even more infectious IMO.

Aww at this dropping out of the top 10 after all, although on the upside that means both Alex Clare and Train have climbed in. (The latter have at least matched their highest peak, really hoping they're at least #9).

Still prefer "Got 2 Luv U" by far, was even more infectious IMO.

 

I agree. That song is extremely catchy, I love it.

 

My prediction for the top 10 this week:

 

1. Carly Rae Jepsen

2. Calvin Harris

3. fun.

4. Jessie J

5. Conor Maynard

6. Nicki Minaj

7. Gotye

8. B.o.B

9. Alex Clare

10. Train
