Posted July 10, 201411 yr 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?
July 10, 201411 yr 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.
July 10, 201411 yr 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.

July 10, 201411 yr 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)
July 10, 201411 yr I think boys and girls- pixie Lott went from 73 to 1 Edited July 10, 201411 yr by Ultraviolence
July 10, 201411 yr 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:
July 10, 201411 yr 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)
July 10, 201411 yr Author 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
July 10, 201411 yr 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) I think Spectrum went 105-1 IIRC.
July 10, 201411 yr I thought it was 95-1, but I could be wrong. I was closer, it was 104-1! :D http://www.officialcharts.com/archive-chart/_/1/2012-07-21/
July 10, 201411 yr We have a thread on Record climbs to number one but I'm not aware of one on record climbs to other positions.
July 10, 201411 yr 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.
July 10, 201411 yr The Westlife one was 'Unbreakable', and climbed from #196 to #1 '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'.

Did T.I and Rhianna "live your life" climb 39-2?
July 10, 201411 yr 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.
July 10, 201411 yr 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.
