2008: Easter Sunday 23rd March

Last week's 2 and 3 drop one place each, with Leona Lewis's Double A-side Better In Time/Footprints In The Sand (including individual downloads of Better In Time but excluding individual downloads of Footprints In The Sand, which charted further down at 26, a sales split that cost Leona number one the week before) was now at 3 and Duffy's Mercy was now at 2. There was a new entry at the topspot for Estelle ft Kanye West American Boy.

Ciara ft Justin Timberlake were new at 6 with Love Sex Magic and the Noisettes were down from 2 to 5 with Don't Upset The Rhythm (Go Baby Go). La Roux was going In For The Kill, climbing from 7 to 4, whilst AR Rahman ft The Pussycat Dolls were staying put with Jai Ho (You Are My Destiny). Last week's number 1, Lady Gaga's Pokerface, dropped to 2 to make way for a new entry at the top for Calvin Harris I'm Not Alone.

2010: Easter Sunday 4th April

Tinie Tempah Pass Out drops from 2 to 5. There's a new entry at 4 for Deliriou5? with History Maker, which was a Christian rock track backed by a facebook campaign to get it number one for easter, which obviously failed. Personally I was vaguely aware of the campaign at the time and downloaded the track, but had no idea it was a Christian rock single, and so in the event I never actually played it, neither would I have downloaded it had I known, as I'm atheist, though I should add that I have a huge respect for anyone who has faith in this day and age, it's just that I don't. In any case I have listened to History Maker for the first time tonight as research for this, and it's pretty unremarkable anyway. In fact this was what made me decide to stop buying large numbers of singles, and only buy Now albums and the odd track that I really liked, as clearly I was by that point buying anything at all and needed to be more selective. Sorry the rant I've been holding in for 3 years is over and now back to the chart. New at three was Plan B with She Said, and dropping one place to 2 was Telephone by Lady Gaga. New at the topspot were Scouting For Girls with This Ain't A Love Song.

Ok you all know what happened last Sunday but I may as well do it for completions sake, in fact my plan originally was to finish this around 7pm last Sunday and tie it in to the announcement, but a poor internet connection last weekend whilst on hols and then some personal probs this week delayed things rather, still here we are 155.5 hours later than planned, but finally up to the present now.

2013: Easter Sunday 31st March

Bastille stayed put at 5 with Pompeii, whilst Justin Timberlake dropped from 2 to 4 with Mirrors. The Saturdays ft Sean Paul fell from the topspot to number 3 with What About Us and Pink ft Nate Reuss climbed one place to 2 with Give Me A Reason. Pink and Nate were denied a number one by something that simply couldn't have been predicted just over a week ago. Because they had several reunited bands from The Big Reunion on their Saturday Night Takeaway, Ant and Dec decided to reform PJ and Duncan and perform Let's Get Ready To Rhumble as a one off. Downloads of the track took off in the next few days resulting in media attention that inspired even more downloads which were enough in the end to declare PJ and Duncan as easter number one for 2013!

Yeah, cheers for doing this! The work that's you've put into this has been deserved for all of us.

Oops yes it was, not sure how I got that wrong, I think I must have skipped that page in my chart book by mistake. I'll edit that post now.
