...either if the song peaked in a higher postion or not

 

If I remember properly, in 2002 Vanessa Carlton's A Thousand Miles stayed 4 weeks at #18.

 

Are there any other examples?

Edited October 31, 201311 yr by N-S

I'm sure there's already been a recent thread on this

There was a thread for most weeks at a particular position, not necessarily consecutively.

 

fchd will probably be able to provide a list of these when he notices this thread.

I haven't done anything on consectutive weeks, but the OP Is definitely correct re "A Thousand Miles"

I'll try a write a little routine to see what others there are

If I've done this right, runs of 4 weeks in red, runs of 5 weeks in blue and exceptionally one run of 7 weeks in green

And outside the top 40, I think it was 'Rule the World' spent 4 consecutive weeks at no.83.

Unfortunately due to Chart Stats demise I can't check this.

5 weeks actually!

Thank you for the data and refreshing my memory of recent cases where that happened.

 

I knew that happened this year, but I just couldn't remind that it was Bastille.
