Posted August 31, 201410 yr These 3 songs are all approaching 40 weeks in the top 40 and with XF started they might stay longer - which will last longest though? Clean Bandit Rather Be Entered Chart - 01/02/2014 Chart Run - {1}-1-1-1-3-3-3-5-7-8-8-9-12-16-16-18-22-21-23-23-25-28-32-24-28-27-29-29-26-26-30-34->32 Idina Menzel Let it go Entered Top 75 - 21/12/2013 Chart Run - 67-67-57-44-36-31-22-20-20-23-18-31-22-31-30-27-17-{11}-15-13-11-11-12-13-13-15-19-21-21-21-25-25-27-30-28-29-32-36->38 Pharrell Williams Happy Entered Top 75 - 07/12/2013 Chart Run - 71-30-4-2-{1}-2-1-1-2-3-2-3-2-1-2-3-4-6-6-7-7-10-12-13-15-12-11-14-17-18-17-19-16-18-22-24-25-27-29-30->40 Edited August 31, 201410 yr by steve201
August 31, 201410 yr You're forgetting All of Me. That's bound to be in the top 40 for an absolute age :drama: Let It Go is probably in for a big boost in Q4 as Frozen inevitably gets a spike in popularity because of its winter theme + people covering it on X Factor. Happy will stay in for a few more months because it's Happy. Rather Be will probably only last another month in the top 40 or 2 if its lucky.
August 31, 201410 yr Author Entered Chart - 15/02/2014 John Legend All Of Me 2 72-28-29-9-8-6-3-5-{2}-4-4-4-5-4-3-6-6-5-10-10-9-11-13-14-20-19-17-15-19-19->30 30 Weeks Obv all these have been helped by streaming in the middle of the chart run but most long running hits have luck like that!
August 31, 201410 yr Only Rather Be has gained extra weeks in the top 40 because of streaming so far.
September 1, 201410 yr Let It Go will be out of the top 40 next week going by the current iTunes and Spotify placings unless it is used on X Factor on Saturday. Edited September 1, 201410 yr by zenon

September 1, 201410 yr Of those 3, Happy. But All Of Me will stay longer than all of them. I agree. Avicii Wake Me Up has had an amazing chart run too.
September 1, 201410 yr Happy will probably still be in the top 40 for another few months especially as X Factor and Strictly are back and will use the track somewhere All Of Me will also be in the chart forever Rather Be and Let It Go will be out in 2/3 weeks I reckon
September 5, 201410 yr There can't be many, if any, songs that stay Top 20 for 27 weeks. Stranger On The Shore - Mr Acker Bilk with the Leon Young String Chorale - 37 weeks top 20 I Believe - Frankie Laine - 36 weeks Rock Around The Clock - Bill Haley & His Comets - 36 weeks Fairytale Of New York - Pogues featuring Kirsty MacColl - 34 weeks Happy - Pharrell Williams - 32 weeks Relax - Frankie Goes To Hollywood - 30 weeks Sex On Fire - Kings Of Leon - 29 weeks Secret Love - Doris Day - 29 weeks All Of Me - John Legend - 27 weeks (not necessarily consecutive weeks)
September 5, 201410 yr Author I'd take FONY out as it continually reenters and I'm sure Sex on Fire did too!
October 6, 201410 yr I think last week was the last for the remaining 2 with the wave of new entries this week expected, but I wouldn't be overly surprised if Rather Be stayed in.
October 6, 201410 yr I think it'll be a toss up between Happy & All of Me. I reckon Happy will finally drop out by early November only to come back in through the gift card effect but then that's for the new year isn't it. All of Me I don't think is going anywhere for another month or two either. Edited October 6, 201410 yr by Rob S
October 7, 201410 yr Fingers-crossed All Of Me stiffs like a stiff-thingy ASAP, I'm getting to the stage where I want to smash things up every time I have to sit through it on the Chart Show. Pleasantly forgettable became annoying dirge and is now at full-on frothing at the mouth Hate. I don't ever want to hear it ever again! That's quite an achievement for me, so well done John Legend, an ironic name if ever I heard one... sorry all you love-birds, you'll come to hate it too one day... :lol:
October 7, 201410 yr Author Is it? Might be on its last legs then it fell to 35 or so last week & it might not have the legs Happy seems to have!
