Still can't believe how well this has done - it only spent one week in the top 5, and at #5! To sell so much since October is phenomonal. Still awesome though :D

 

Still in the top 40 this week at #33 too!

 

It reminds me of the success of "I Like To Move It" by Reel 2 Real in 94. I think that only got to #5 too.

I remember when hearing Airplanes for the first time I was sure that it was going to sell zillions of copies and be #1 for 10 weeks both in the US and UK. It didn't after all.

71. B.o.B feat. Hayley Williams - Airplanes (2010) (#1)

 

 

B.o.B's second #1 of 2010, and Hayley from Paramore's first time in the UK Top 10. One of my favourites from that year. ^_^

Thanks Jay- I'm back kids- by the way we need a host for the 3-4 slot!!

lol. Really? I think it's chart success was spectacular! :lol: It's one of my favourite songs.

 

Sexy and I Know It might be the biggest-selling #5 hit of all time? Or at least close, surely!!

Thank god the original "Empire State of Mind" is still ahead of Part II.

 

Airplanes still sounds fantastic, and OMFG RAGE. Good time for me to wake up...

RAGE! :D

One of the best songs in the countdown.

 

Ooh can I have the 3-4 slot? I'm gonna be listening to this for a while :D

 

RAGE!!

Airplanes has had really "bad" longevity compared to some of the other big hits from 2010. I hardly ever see it in the top 1000 anymore, whilst OMG, California Gurls, Pass Out, etc. are staples there. It's a shame really, since it's better than all of them imo. :lol:

Yay fireflies, the best song ever (imo) :heart:

I never fully got to know Fireflies, despite how much I heard it, since every radio station seemed to have a different version of the song. :lol:

I find Fireflies really forgotten - I never hear it on the radio and I don't hear people talk about it. I love it, though! :wub:
