Weren't there any others between T-Wayne and Little Mix (even if they get there)?

Just three. Original post updated to date.

Thanks. I'm trying to compile a Spotify playlist but I've only done the 60s so far.

Konnichiwa Peak at No. 41 19/05/16 - Skepta

 

Really unfortunate for Konnichiwa, definitely deserved to chart top 40 :(

Here's my top 10 from that list:

 

1. Shame - Eurythmics

2. Eve's Volcano - Julian Cope

3. Tempted - Squeeze

4. Powder Blue - Elbow

5. Sparks - Royksopp

6. Love Is All That Matters - Human League

7. Let Me Go - Heaven 17

8. Man On The Corner - Genesis

9. The Boxer - Chemical Brothers

10. Sunshine On Leith - The Proclaimers

Well, I've narrowed it down to a Top 12 so far:

 

Jambalaya Fats Domino

Letting Go - Paul McCartney & Wings

Tempted - Squeeze

Julie Ocean - Undertones

Love Peak - John Lennon

Flesh Of My Flesh - Orange Juice

Patio Song - Gorky's Zygotic Mynci

Lazy Line Painter Jane EP - Belle & Sebastian

[Lazy Line Painter Jane; You Made Me Forget My Dreams; Photo Jenny; A Century of Elvis]

Hip Hop - Dead Prez

Real Great Britain - Asian Dub Foundation

Be My Enemy - Departure

 

Well I've gone ahead and done the playlist. Not everything is there but allowing for EPs and double A-sides I'm up to 422 tracks:

I'll have to remember to take Little Mix off if they ever make the T40.

You can add Lana Del Rey with Love which is #41 this week.

I'd give it a couple of week first it could just scrape this week

Yeah I think it's a bit premature to add Lana to this list just yet, give it a few weeks.

I think it's safe to confirm that there's no chance Lana will repeak now.

Yeah it's looking that way, bit of a shame really.

Lana now added.

Updated to end of 2017

Basically just a list of songs that would have most likely gone Top 40 with the new rules :kink:

Have added 21 Savage to the playlist. Turns out I didn't need to remove Lana or Little Mix.

Unfortunately it looks like Tom Walker needs to be added to the list :cry:

I have added 21 Savage to the playlist and also put in a few other tracks that were previously unavailable including Def Leppard, Quadrophonia and Bananarama. Plus a House Of Love track I must have just forgotten about.

King Of The Rodeo Peak at No. 41 23/04/05 - Kings Of Leon

 

I think this is possibly one of the most unfortunate official No 41s of all time. W/E 23 Apr '05 was the first (partially)combined official physical and digital singles chart, wherein digital sales were counted towards official chart positions for the first time, provided the track had an equivalent physical release that had been issued within the last 52 weeks. If I recall correctly, it was reported in Music Week that had the old physical-only chart still been in use as the official tabulation, 'King Of The Rodeo' would've scraped a No 37 placing. But as it was, thanks to the sudden influx of what were then relatively slender, but still significant-enough, download sales into the mix, official history will always record it as having not been a Top 40 hit.

A bit of quick research on the OCC archives shows the above was correct. Also, the first single to miss out on a Top 75 placing owing to the change of chart rules that week was a track called 'Messiah' by Kontact. It made No 75 on the physical-only chart, but on the combined physical/digital listing it only registered at No 92. As neither track climbed any higher, their fates were sealed.
