I love how Alice Levine now plays the number 41 record right at the end of her Sunday show so I thought it would be interesting to make a record of those who just missed out on the top 40 but can still boast a Radio 1 play as the number 41 and whether it only reached that position, dropped out that week or later climbed.

 

The rules for inclusion state that the number 41 record must have actually been broadcast so if for example the chart only gets a five minute slot at One Big Weekend as usual then it will not be included. Also if it climbs to that position having already been top 40 before then it will be defined as a re-entry.

It'd be nicer if she played the highest new entry outside the top 40

if only this had begun when Sirens charted :cry:

Didn't JME have a song at #41 as well?

Not since Radio 1 started playing the #41.

Way back in 2012. (Won't mention the title)

Sub Focus has two #41s in 2010 consecutively.

 

Then he started releasing bland sub par stuff, and got T40 hits.

JME was also #41 earlier this year with German Whip in its second week!

Remember Angel had a few in 2012 too (Go In, Go Hard and another).

Yeah, it's a good idea, but a lot of the time the songs are going to be long-running chart hits that have been on the radio loads for months already. Happy could feasibly end up at #41 in the next few weeks for example. I think highest song that hasn't been top 40 (yet) would be more interesting.

Think last week would have been DJ Fresh (for example) so the idea would work I think. Would also fulfil Radio 1's commitment to new music!

Didn't know Radio 1 do this until I read this thread. Pretty cool idea!

This old thread tells you all the number 41 peaks.

THIS

Jamie T is this week's latest addition with Zombie.

Poor Maroon 5 become the very first act to miss out on a number 41 play with Maps due to the Teen Awards, not a huge loss anyway imo.

Wilkinson and Taley Riley's massive drop with Dirty Love falls into comfort by being the number 41 play this week.

It's a shame these have all been dropouts so far, apart from the very first one which was just an ancient song on its way to re-entering. Will be much more interesting the next time something peaks at #41.
