Posted March 29, 201411 yr With 5 seconds of summer assured of number 1 this week, just wondering what the biggest fall from number 1 has been. They will be out of top itunes top 10 by the start of the new chart week and on Amazon are already down to 18 on Amazon
March 29, 201411 yr With 5 seconds of summer assured of number 1 this week, just wondering what the biggest fall from number 1 has been. They will be out of top itunes top 10 by the start of the new chart week and on Amazon are already down to 18 on Amazon McFly's 'Baby's Coming Back/Transylvania' fell 1-20 and so did one of the Elvis re-issues. There's no way that 5SOS will outdo that, I can see them staying top 10 for a second week like 'Can We Dance' did (except that missed #1)
March 29, 201411 yr I know in the albums chart, Christina aquilera went 1-29 but don't recall a drop like that on the singles. Quite a few of the limited edition Elvis singles had big drops as people have already said.
March 29, 201411 yr Other Elvis re-issues: Jailhouse Rock went 1-10 It's Now Or Never went 1-14 Also: Flying Pickets - Only You went 1-10 Harry Belafonte - Mary's Boy Child went 1-12
March 29, 201411 yr It was either "THE LOVE OF RICHARD NIXON" or "EMPTY SOULS" by Manic Street Preachers that was number one on the midweek charts. Had either of them got to number one (they both went in at 2) they would of had the biggest drops ever "Nixon" fell from 2-22 and "Empty" 2-26. Incredible to think a song that wasn't even limited dropped from 2-26!
March 29, 201411 yr Nixon was the midweek no.1. Empty Souls was up against an Elvis reissue and they were always the mid no.1s from the off until JLo released Get Right.
March 29, 201411 yr The biggest fall 'within' the Top 40 was Rage Against The Machine's "Killing In The Name" which plummeted 2-40 in January 2010, I doubt that will ever be beaten really. Other recent collapses: Helping Haiti "Everybody Hurts" 1-> 9 in 2010 Mint Royale "Singing In The Rain" 1-> 8 in 2008 Both of the above were after 2 weeks at #1. Pixie Lott "Boys and Girls" 1-> 6 in 2009 Twilight "Cover Drive" 1-> 6 in 2012 Robbie Williams "Candy" 1-> 6 in 2012 Lily Allen "Somewhere Only We Know" 1-> 6 in 2013* Martin Garrix "Animals" 1-> 6 in 2013 Storm Queen "Look Right Through" 1-> 6 in 2013 PJ & Duncan "Let's Get Ready To Rhumble" 1-> 6 in 2013 *Had also already fallen 1-4 a few weeks earlier.

March 29, 201411 yr Mint Royale "Singing In The Rain" 1-> 8 in 2008 one of the best 01's ever. god bless george sampson!
March 29, 201411 yr one of the best 01's ever. god bless george sampson! I've always loved "Don't Falter", featuring the lovely LAuren Laverne. :wub: tX1DWlKmMoE
March 29, 201411 yr I've always loved "Don't Falter", featuring the lovely LAuren Laverne. :wub: tX1DWlKmMoE since the british hit singles book was my source of musical information and exposure, i was VERY surprised to find out that lauren, who was obviously making her name as a presenter, had done this song! lovely it is indeed. i miss that sort of lemon jelly / mint royale / zero 7 soft dance that made the early 00's
March 29, 201411 yr #15 in January 2000 baby and the second ever #1 on my personal chart. She was also in Kenickie in the 1990s. : ) Edited March 29, 201411 yr by Doctor Blind
March 29, 201411 yr Author With 5 seconds of summer assured of number 1 this week, just wondering what the biggest fall from number 1 has been. They will be out of top itunes top 10 by the start of the new chart week and on Amazon are already down to 18 on Amazon I would be very surprised if it stayed top 10, it is at no.19 on amazon, almost out the top 50 on play, and itunes at 8 and that is with no new releases, thinking about 12-15
March 29, 201411 yr I've always loved "Don't Falter", featuring the lovely LAuren Laverne. :wub: tX1DWlKmMoE Love her. :heart: Kenickie :cheer: "Come Home Billy Bird" :wub: LtVAPI2qruo Edited March 29, 201411 yr by AlexRus

JLS 'The Club Is Alive' and The X Factor Finalists 2010 'Heroes' also both dropped 1-7 in recent years (the latter after 2 weeks at #1).
March 29, 201411 yr The Nr. 1 effect and the new radio 1 playlist, where 5SOS are c-listetd, could help them get some sales outside their fanbase next week, and that might prevent them from a too big fall.
March 29, 201411 yr The Nr. 1 effect and the new radio 1 playlist, where 5SOS are c-listetd, could help them get some sales outside their fanbase next week, and that might prevent them from a too big fall. I don't understand the #1 effect. If you don't like a song, why on earth would you suddenly decide to buy it *just* because it's #1? :wacko:
March 29, 201411 yr I don't understand the #1 effect. If you don't like a song, why on earth would you suddenly decide to buy it *just* because it's #1? :wacko: If you've not heard the song until it gets publicity of being no.1, you might actually like it you know....
March 29, 201411 yr Exactly, I'm sure being #1 means more exposure. I know Radio 1 play the #1 several times a day and announce it as the UK's official #1.
