March 6, 20187 yr 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. 3 weeks later Art Brut's Emily Kane reached #41, missing out on the top 40 by 2 sales (and would certainly have been top 40 on the physical-only chart). They never managed a top 40 hit.
March 8, 20187 yr We could've found out exactly where within the physical-sales-only Top 40 that track landed, but having scoured the OCC archive, it seems there's a mysterious gap in their physical archives from W/E 7 May to 3 September 2005, and so as this was 14 May, no joy. I wonder why this gap exists? Yet another inexplicable OCC inconsistency I suppose.
April 11, 20187 yr Top Off by DJ Khaled, Jay-Z, Future and Beyonce peaked at 41 four weeks ago, with too much urban infecting the charts right now - not a huge miss really. Edited April 11, 20187 yr by zenon
April 11, 20187 yr Added both to playlist. Maybe I should rename it "big names don't guarantee a hit".
August 13, 20186 yr Unfortunately it looks like Tom Walker needs to be added to the list :cry: Happy to be proven wrong! :D 'Hunger' and 'Dark Vader' are both almost certainly #41-peakers now though.
June 23, 20196 yr Can anyone update the list seeing we have a potential number 41 peak this week with Polo G's Pop Out?
June 23, 20196 yr I think 'Pop Out' will continue to climb, it's still too early to add that. Another potential addition is David Guetta 'Stay (Don't Go Away)', though it's at #43 this week so again a top 40 peak can't be completely ruled out. The most recent #41 hit that definitely won't go top 40 I can think of is MoStack 'Wild'. Edit: Actually I think the Tyler the Creator AT that peaked at #41 was more recent ('Igor's Theme')

Edit: Actually I think the Tyler the Creator AT that peaked at #41 was more recent ('Igor's Theme') All of these songs having #41 peaks is really unfortunate. (Not that I had any reasonable expectation that Tyler would be able to get all three of his eligible album tracks into the top 40 but annoying that he was that close to it, and 'IGOR'S THEME' is one of the best songs on the album!) I actually thought Polo G was going to peak at #42 the week before last as that was the week his album dropped. Wouldn't mind seeing him still climb into the top 40.
July 26, 20204 yr After 13 months I've decided it's safe to add Polo G to the playlist! Also Guetta, Anne-Marie, Mostack and Tyler. I did a bit of maintenance on the rest of it too, fixing the bit where I put the wrong Spencer Davis Group song on and adding some tracks that weren't previously on Spotify. I'm particularly glad 'Tasty Fish' by the Other Two is now on there. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/66xACxprx...kTLGuv9WfQhD6hg Edited July 26, 20204 yr by The Hit Parade
October 17, 20213 yr Here are some more recent ones that can be added since the last update: Clout - Nines Medicine - James Arthur Telepatia - Kali Uchis Life Goes On - PS1 ft Alex Hosking Get Into It (Yuh) - Doja Cat (though this one could still potentially climb higher) Die4u - Bring Me The Horizon
December 29, 20213 yr Is anyone maintaining this list? If so, Sam Fender's 'Spit Of You' also peaked at #41 in October, not sure if there have been any others since then.
May 18, 20241 yr I've updated OP, I think everything in the 2010s was captured in this thread, so using my spreadsheet to fill in for the 2020s 2020s 2020 Vision Freestyle Peak at No. 41 26/06/20 - Potter Paper TKN Peak at No. 41 10/07/20 - Rosalía featuring Travis Scott Clout Peak at No. 41 04/09/20 - Nines Medicine Peak at No. 41 12/03/21 - James Arthur Telepatía Peak at No. 41 19/03/21 - Kali Uchis Life Goes On Peak at No. 41 13/08/21 - PS1 featuring Alex Hosking Get Into It (Yuh) Peak at No. 41 17/09/21 - Doja Cat Die4U Peak at No. 41 24/09/21 - Bring Me The Horizon Spit of You Peak at No. 41 15/10//21 - Sam Fender Mafia Peak at No. 41 12/11/21 - Travis Scott Hrs and Hrs Peak at No. 41 04/02/22 - Muni Long Warzone Peak at No. 41 18/02/22 - M Huncho featuring Headie One Early Hours Peak at No. 41 25/03/22 - ArrDee Left and Right Peak at No. 41 01/07/22 - Charlie Puth featuring Jung Kook Beat the Odds Peak at No. 41 02/09/22 - Lil Tjay Jingle Bells Peak at No. 41 30/12/22 - Sam Ryder About You Peak at No. 41 20/01/23 - The 1975 A&W Peak at No. 41 24/02/23 - Lana Del Rey Meridian Peak at No. 41 01/09/23 - Dave & Tiakola In the City Peak at No. 41 27/10/23 - Charli XCX & Sam Smith Bleed Peak at No. 41 10/11/23 - The Kid Laroi Never Be Lonely Peak at No. 41 05/04/24 - Jax Jones & Zoe Wees Malicious Intentions Peak at No. 41 26/04/24 - Pozer 360 Peak at No. 41 17/05/24 - Charli XCX
