Green Day not even Top 30 with ¡Tre!, 3 years ago I would have laughed at such a suggestion (well even 2 months ago when ¡Uno! went #2 on reasonable sales...).

It probably sold 15-20k at that position, if it had been released on 14th january as planned it would have charted around no1 or 2 in the chart!

£1 Fish Man did better than I expected! :yahoo:

Nice to see Mcfly climb on both charts. Love is Easy has done very well seeing as it's their first ever download only track and it's had hardly any promo/or air play

Shambolic performance by Leona Lewis's album, dropping out of top 100 despite Lovebird promotion! Surprised to see Matt Cardle climbing! I expected him to enter the charts and drop fast, nice to see him having decent success with this album!

02 01 02 Olly Murs Right Place, Right Time

 

This has been charting for THREE weeks

 

Quite surprised that Kelly C managed to climb that much

Bray, any reason you post this (really interesting) data with such a impossibly small font? I know I can (and do) copy and paste it into WordPad to get it bigger, but it seems strange to deliberately post something that small

Probably so the post isn't massively long.

It was just to make the post not really long as Liam said, I suppose it doesn't make much difference though. I've changed it.

Isn't this the third December in a row that Rihanna's managed simultaneous top ten singles :o Amazing! In 2010 it was three in the top ten at once!

It is - and it's the 11th time she's done the double in the 21st century, matching the record set by Sia (:P) In addition to the three December double top 10s she also had a fourth unique occasion of double top 10s in June with 'Princess Of China' and 'Where Have You Been'.
