It had the biggest losing margin for a #2 ever didn't it? :lol:

 

 

I would have thought Candle in the Wind might have been responsible for that record but number 2s in 1997 were probably selling better than those in 2002 and also - the peak sales for Candle in the Wind were split over two weeks

I thought that Whenever, Wherever sold 800k! :lol: Oh well, still a great song!

Where is the Love? :wub: Now THIS gives me nostaliga. :heart:

 

This must mean Boom Boom Pow is approaching 800,000 sales?! :o

You live with a girl?! Wow. MAJORLY JEALOUS!!! :lol:

I used to live with 5 girls... but being gay, I suppose the appeal of that was wasted on me! :lol:

Damn. I think I should just pretend to be gay tbh. Gay guys seem to get girls flocking to them. :lol:

well this is getting a bit off topic, but yes, two in fact :P with three other guys as well mind :lol:

80. Beyoncé - If I Were A Boy (2008) (#1)

 

 

Here we have Beyoncé's biggest hit single! 'If I Were A Boy' was the launch single for her million-selling 2008 album 'I Am...Sasha Fierce'.

Lol at Scott! "Get on with the song" :lol:

tunne!

well this is getting a bit off topic, but yes, two in fact :P with three other guys as well mind :lol:

 

Oh, right. :lol:

 

In my house there's 9 males and 3 females, I guess. But two of them women are married, and one is like double my age. :lol:

 

That If I Were a Boy thing is so awkward. :lol:

 

Jay-Z's version of Empire State of Mind, I'm surprised is still ahead in sales.

79. Alicia Keys - Empire State Of Mind (Part II) Broken Down (2009) (#4)

 

 

Alicia's solo re-working of her duet with Jay-Z. This huge smash helped Alicia achieve her first #1 album here!

I love this cover of Mad World, but I rekon that I am definatly alone! :lol:

Mad World. :wub:

 

So glad this was a Christmas number 1.

I love this cover of Mad World, but I rekon that I am definatly alone! :lol:

 

Nope. I love it too. One of my favourite covers ever.

78. Michael Andrews feat. Gary Jules - Mad World (2003) (#1)

 

 

2003's rather somber Christmas #1! Not to my taste, but this is certainly a classic.

I love this cover of Mad World, but I rekon that I am definatly alone! :lol:

 

you most certainly aren't :o definitely the best song so far :wub: :wub:

77. Ellie Goulding - Your Song (2010) (#2)

 

 

An Elton John cover provided Ellie with her biggest hit. Prevented from #1 by X Factor Finalists' 'Heroes'.

any idea of the sales levels were at in the chart? ~800,000?

The weakness in the vocals made "Your Song" a rather disappointing cover. She's done better.

I guess Mad World is one of those songs which is loved by BuzzJack and hated by the public!

 

I love both versions of Empire State of Mind! :wub:
