Posted April 15, 201411 yr What country in the world offers a song in their National chart since it started in their country, that has spent the most weeks Consecutively at #1. The UK Offers a 16 Week with Bryan Adams (1991) Ireland Offers a 18 Week with Bill Whelan (1994) So far Ireland beats the UK, any other country in the world beats this.
April 15, 201411 yr Canada's record is Elton John with Candle in the Wind 1997, it stayed at #1 for 46 weeks (non-consec). It had a run of 35 weeks, 7 weeks, 3 weeks and then appeared (randomly) at #1 again in 2002! I think it was top 3 for 2 years too.
April 15, 201411 yr I'm sure that somewhere like Hungary I remember there being a number 1 for something like 35 weeks?! There used to be a thread called something like "All official singles chart number 1s" or something along those lines, I'm sure it was there I saw it...
April 15, 201411 yr Lou Bega's "Mambo #5" spent 20 weeks at #1 in France, which is the record there. Sacre Bleu!
April 15, 201411 yr Author Lou Bega's "Mambo #5" spent 20 weeks at #1 in France, which is the record there. Found this one, August 28th 1999 - 8th January 2000, Claimed French Christmas Number 1 there.
April 15, 201411 yr Candle in the Wind in Canada - 35 weeks http://www.inthe00s.com/archive/inthe90s/s...183190432.shtml Edited April 15, 201411 yr by Sinner

There must have been some reason why it went to No.1 again. 5th Anniversary?
April 15, 201411 yr 35 consecutive weeks at #1 is ridiculous! What are Canadian sales figures like compared to the UK?
April 15, 201411 yr I know that "Candle In The Wind '97" has sold about 2 million physical singles in Canada, which is the top selling single of all time there too. But on the whole, Canadian physical single sales started dipping hugely around the mid '90s.
April 15, 201411 yr I'm sure that somewhere like Hungary I remember there being a number 1 for something like 35 weeks?! There used to be a thread called something like "All official singles chart number 1s" or something along those lines, I'm sure it was there I saw it... I think there was one artist who was apparently #1 in Hungary non-stop for several years with a few songs :lol: The US record is also 16 weeks (for 'One Sweet Day' by Boyz II Men/Mariah Carey).
April 15, 201411 yr Wasn't Australia's record something like 12 weeks, for either Sandi Thom or Las Ketchup but I can't remember which :lol: Pharrell might have just equalled that, but again I don't know for sure.
April 15, 201411 yr Wasn't Australia's record something like 12 weeks, for either Sandi Thom or Las Ketchup but I can't remember which :lol: Pharrell might have just equalled that, but again I don't know for sure. In the ARIA era (since 1983) it is Coolio’s "Gangsta’s Paradise" with 13 weeks at #1. But ABBA managed 14 weeks at #1 in 1976 with "Fernando". Other long runners in Australia Beatles "Hey Jude" (13 weeks) Eminem "Lose Yourself" (12 weeks) Pharrell Williams "Happy" (12 weeks) Wings "Mull of Kintyre" (11 weeks) Spice Girls "Wannabe" (11 weeks) Bryan Adams "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" (11 weeks) Whitney Houston "I Will Always Love You" (10 weeks) ABBA "Mamma Mia" (10 weeks) Sandi Thom "I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (With Flowers in My Hair)" (10 weeks) LMFAO "Party Rock Anthem" (10 weeks)
April 15, 201411 yr TRULY deserving of two and a half months at #1. ABBA, The Beatles, Spice Girls, Eminem, Whitney Houston and........Sandi Thom.
April 15, 201411 yr That Sandi Thom song really stands out in that list, but to be fair it was really big, but completely forgotten now though and it wouldn't be a hit single today.
April 15, 201411 yr By the way, Pharrell's "Happy" is currently spending its' 19th week at #1 in France. One week away from tying the record there. :lol:
April 16, 201411 yr Spain Carlos Baute & Marta Sanchez - Colgando En Tus Manos - 27 weeks (25 consecutive) Shakira - Waka Waka 17 (consecutive) weeks Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull - On The Floor 15 (consecutive) weeks Cali & El Dandee - Yo Te Esperare 15 weeks
