Conor is now #5 on iTunes, he's not going to miss the top 10...

The Cheryl/Gary performance kick started its success again but the 59p price and their recent sell out UK tour and the fact it's being hammered by the likes of Heart Radio have helped it to climb

 

I see! Thanks for explaining! :D

Deserves so much higher :(

Spectrum has really exceeded beyond my expectations, its on course for another week, I didn't think Florence would top the official chart no longer than a week. I think 3 weeks is the maximum as Wiley or Calvin Harris will bag it a week later.

Stronger on it's 39th week in the top 100!! :o

 

Wow.

the UK charts is moving even slower than the US... :o

it's a shame since it was known to be the fastest chart on earth back in the 90's and 00's with 14 to 15 new entries per week... now we have maximum of 2 new entries per week. :puke2:

Much as I prefer slow moving charts, this is all getting a bit ridiculous.

Starships has been bouncing around between 19 and 21 for 7 weeks now, a big no.2 hit from months ago shouldn't be doing that.

And STIUTK, great track though it is, also needs to go away. It reached no.1 in February and it's still in the top 20 in late July!

It's great that it's still piling on the sales, but it's at the expense of making the charts very stale.

Elton hit counts are likely to be somewhat inaccurate.

Elton's had 86 hits in total :o :o That's amazing! Even George Michael isn't that close, if I counted correctly "White Light" will be his 47th hit in a few weeks (10 of those hits were with Wham). It would've been nice if 'Sad' made the top 40, I do like that song.
