Posted May 12, 201312 yr With Daft Punk still riding high at the number 1 position on UK Itunes after about 3 and a half weeks weeks, it got me wondering who holds the records for longest continuous reign at number 1 on itunes....any ideas?
May 12, 201312 yr I think the record could be found from when downloads didn't account for the majority of the singles market, i.e 2004-2008. Looking at long consecutive number ones on the download chart from this time, the record could go to any of these: Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancing Gnarls Barkley - Crazy Madonna - Hung Up MIKA - Grace Kelly Rihanna featuring Jay-Z - Imagine It Was Us Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love U2's Vertigo would be on there too if it wasn't for Chris Moyles' release interrupting it's run.
May 12, 201312 yr I was womdering the same thing today. Call me Maybe must have managed 4 weeks last year. Get lucky should probably pass that. How long was Gotye #1 for?
May 12, 201312 yr ?! He obviously meant Umbrella. :P It's not relevant to the thread, but does anyone know any songs who only spent a matter of minutes on top of the iTunes Chart (apart from All Fired Up and She Doesn't Mind)? Oh, and Hallelujah might have spent a few weeks on top of the iTunes Chart. Edited May 12, 201312 yr by Griff
May 12, 201312 yr I wonder how many days/weeks 'Moves Like Jagger' spent at iTunes #1 overall, considering it didn't get the official #1 once.
May 12, 201312 yr ?! Don't know what the hell happened there. :mellow: I must have pressed paste as I'm doing my personal chart at the moment. But yeah, I mean 'Umbrella'. :blush:
May 12, 201312 yr Surely Umbrella.....unless its sales were split across multiple versions, allowing another song to sneak ahead of it on the iTunes chart at times.
May 12, 201312 yr Byran Adams - Everything I Do I Do It For You Wet Wet Wet - Love Is All Around I wasn't aware these were released in the 21st century. :o
May 12, 201312 yr I wasn't aware these were released in the 21st century. :o It was just a guess, im not 100% on those
May 12, 201312 yr Since 12/3/2006, the following have spent 30+ consecutive days at #1 on Itunes: Gnarls Barkley - Crazy - 52 Take That - Patience - 36 Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby - 33 Rihanna ft Jay-Z - Umbrella - 45 Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love - 35 Duffy - Mercy - 33 Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl - 34 Gotye's 29 days is the longest since then.
May 12, 201312 yr It was just a guess, im not 100% on those Why would you guess songs that were massive in the 1990s to be iTunes chart toppers let alone long running iTunes chart toppers. You do know iTunes wasn't invented until 2004 don't you?
May 18, 201312 yr Author Since 12/3/2006, the following have spent 30+ consecutive days at #1 on Itunes: Gnarls Barkley - Crazy - 52 Take That - Patience - 36 Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby - 33 Rihanna ft Jay-Z - Umbrella - 45 Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love - 35 Duffy - Mercy - 33 Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl - 34 Gotye's 29 days is the longest since then. So Daft Punk have just equalled Gotye then, they still have quite a way to go to get anywhere near Gnarls Barkley, not that I think it will.
May 18, 201312 yr Wow, it's crazy to think about how long ago some songs had long runs at the top of the iTunes Chart! :o
