With many songs likely to switch from low (most/all) streaming sales to high combined ones, it seems likely that some new records will be set - e.g. possibly Vamps 39-2 this week.

 

Maybe there's already a thread on this, which could be bumped?

Estelle's American Boy reentered the Top 75 at #1 after #72 and a two-week absence. Not sure if it qualifies as a climb but this fact just stuck in my mind.

I think that Steps' 'It's The Way You Make Me Feel' climbed from #72 to #2, if I remember correctly.

 

Also, there was one Westlife song (can't remember which one) which climbed from c.# 200 to #1.

 

Both instances were due to limited number of physical copies (CD singles mainly - remember them?) being sold in shops on the Saturday, before they were supposed to.

Just found this information:

 

No 1 Facts & Feats

 

The Westlife one was 'Unbreakable', and climbed from #196 to #1, also DJ Sammy and Yanou with Heaven climbed from #191 to #1

 

The biggest genuine jumps within the top 75 have been:

 

(70 places) 72-02 It's The Way You Make Me Feel Steps (13.01.01)

(66 places) 68-02 Addicted To Bass Puretone (12.01.02)

(63 places) 74-11 Macarena Los Del Rio (20.07.96)

(62 places) 66-04 Every Loser Wins Nick Berry (11.10.86)

(61 places) 74-13 Star Trekkin' The Firm (13.06.87)

(55 places) 62-07 Coming Up Paul McCartney (26.04.80)

(51 places) 60-09 Only You Flying Pickets (03.12.83)

 

Of these, Every Loser Wins, Star Trekkin' and Only You reached #1. All the rest peaked at #2.

 

(There may have been others more recently than this)

I think boys and girls- pixie Lott went from 73 to 1

 

I'm sure it did as there was a big photo of her in one of the world records books saying that.

 

GO PIXIE :heart:

Puff Daddy featuring Jimmy Page's "Come With Me" leapt from 75-2 in August 1998

didn't FloMac climb from somewhere outside the top 100 to #1 with Spectrum?

 

and The Vamps' jump is not due to being available on streaming before sales, (the OP infers it was)

Actually I didn't - I phrased it carefully to avoid that suggestion (though maybe not carefully enough). :P

I think Spectrum went 105-1 IIRC.

A lot of these are due to various quirks, import sales, leaked sales or rule-changes etc - for me the best chart climbs are from songs going from barely known one week to suddenly shooting up in 7 days due to a huge amount of exposure.

'Mandy' would be the one referred to in the post, as that did in fact go 200-1. A record that would have been matched if Jess Glynne was to be #1 this week but alas she won't be.

 

If David Guetta & co.'s 'Gettin' Over You' (or 'Gettin' Over' with just Chris Willis to be more truthful) had sold a few more copies the week before it hit #1 if would have had a climb of 40-1. As that didn't happen, I have a feeling the biggest climb within the top 40 is currently Tinchy Stryder & Taio Cruz's 'Take Me Back' with a 39-3 climb, don't quote me on that though.

 

Rage Against The Machine's 'Killing In The Name' and Labrinth & Emeli Sandé's 'Beneath Your Beautiful' both jumped from 76-100 to #1 (80-1 and 85-1 respectively), I think those are the only such occurrences since 2007. Of course there have been other climbs from outside the top 100 to #1 since then including the already mentioned 'Spectrum' and Lily Allen's 'The Fear'.

I was just about to post that, you beat me to it :lol:

Did T.I and Rhianna "live your life" climb 39-2?

Did T.I and Rhianna "live your life" climb 39-2?

 

Ah, it did - I had a feeling I was forgetting something (although not sure I'd have ever remembered that).

 

The biggest ever drop within the top 40 is without doubt 'Killing In The Name' dropping 2-40.

Did T.I and Rhianna "live your life" climb 39-2?

 

Equalled by Pink's "So What" going from 38 to 1.

 

I've put together a list of the last time each chart movement within the Top 75 happened at

 

http://www.fchd.info/temp/POSITIONCHANGES.TXT

 

The formatting is not particularly nice but hopefully the data is understandable enough.

 

I street again these are only the LAST time a particular movement happened, so if say more than 1 record has moved from number 63 to number 9, I am only listing the last one.
