December 27, 201410 yr Author I don't get these demotions? Timber sold very well and it was everywhere at the time? Did I miss something or? EDIT: I think I missed something as this whole thread is a blur to me, oops never mind me The "rules" are on the first page FYI :D
December 27, 201410 yr I think both MOMM and Timber show how this isn't the definitive guide for what is and isn't a non-#1, but I do enjoy reading this Gezza so glad to see it back :D
December 27, 201410 yr The "rules" are on the first page FYI :D Oops, missed those as well :drama: I get it now thanks! Still a shame Timber is demoted
December 27, 201410 yr I think both MOMM and Timber show how this isn't the definitive guide for what is and isn't a non-#1, but I do enjoy reading this Gezza so glad to see it back :D Well every system has faults. Every now and then in this system, 2 mega hits will come across each other where only one can win. But some of the biggest injustices in the actual chart can be rectified here (JGMAR, MLJ, LTWYL, etc). Like you said, it's an interesting read regardless.

December 27, 201410 yr Great to see this back! I've been thinking for a while that this year would be a great one for this thread! :lol:
December 27, 201410 yr Well every system has faults. Every now and then in this system, 2 mega hits will come across each other where only one can win. But some of the biggest injustices in the actual chart can be rectified here (JGMAR, MLJ, LTWYL, etc). Like you said, it's an interesting read regardless. Exactly, that's what I was saying, Timber was just very unlucky here for example, a monster hit but ran into something even bigger. LOL Gezza - fully expecting two Cheryl demotions :ph34r: One of which actually is quite the non-#1 anyway lol.
December 27, 201410 yr I also misunderstood the thread at first. I thought this was about non-eventful No.1's but seeing as there's a system here, some unjustices are expected.
December 28, 201410 yr Author NON NUMBER ONE- SHE LOOKS SO PERFECT- 5 Seconds Of Summer http://i57.tinypic.com/2e698uu.jpg NEW PEAK POSITION: 4 Well with that 1-10-15 I expect eyebrows to remain lowered at this demotion. In terms of figures for this thread it actually made No 4 in the closest week of the year with just 961 copies separating this from the No 1 (Aloe Blacc's "The Man") so it could have been a variety of songs here with John Legand's "All Of Me" coming within 421 copies of getting a promotion in this thread!

December 28, 201410 yr Perhaps the least surprising of all the demotions there. Had a very respectable chart run after the 2nd week drop though!
December 28, 201410 yr Author NON NUMBER ONE- SUMMER- Calvin Harris http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2d/Calvin_Harris_-_Summer.png NEW PEAK POSITION: 2 Well beaten by Mr Probz in this thread, it's another song that I had forgotten made the top in real life- not one of his better tunes in my opinion! ebXbLfLACGM
December 28, 201410 yr I still consider this a non-number one due to that initial chart run but 'She Looks So Perfect' definitely had one of the most impressive turn arounds in the chart this year. To think it's now certified Gold despite a 1-10 drop! I expected a demotion for 'Summer' but I still think it deserves its #1 status. I agree that it's not one of his best though - my fave this era has been 'Under Control'.
December 28, 201410 yr Author NON NUMBER ONE- I WANNA FEEL- Secondcity http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b8/Secondcity_-_I_Wanna_Feel_single_cover.jpg NEW PEAK POSITION: 3 Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith combine here to prevent Secondcity even making the top 2! True enough it remains his chart excursion thus far- we may be looking at a genuine one hit wonder here #provedwrongin2months. 8wRW57nBLMI
December 28, 201410 yr Aww Summer is great! Far superior to the lifeless Waves... A very deserved relegation for I Wanna Feel. How that got number 1 ahead of some other dance gems this year remains a mystery to me... Edited December 28, 201410 yr by Dobbo
December 28, 201410 yr She Looks So Perfect is definitely not a non-#1 going by the actual chart imo, obviously it had a huge drop but it's sold incredibly well and spent quite a while in the top 40 which removes the tag for me. There's more to a chart run than its second week drop. Obviously it's clear why it's a non-#1 in this thread though with the drop it had! No shocks at Summer or I Wanna Feel, the former was a huge hit but again, Waves was even bigger so that naturally overtook.

December 28, 201410 yr Author Well the follow-up single did get to #85 :P I'm old Skool- A "hit" will always be top 75 in my eyes :D . Incidentally I wonder what the OCC use these days as the "Cannon"? :huh:
December 28, 201410 yr 'Summer' is true Calvin Harris on autopilot and really quite poor, I wish it had experienced a real life demotion.
