Posted October 28, 201410 yr I hope the title makes sense! With Ed Sheeran clocking up 4 chart weeks each calendar week at the moment, I thought I'd see how many he has so far in 2014 and how that compares to the best ever 2011 206 RIHANNA 2011 163 ADELE 2009 152 LADY GAGA 2011 150 BRUNO MARS 2012 149 RIHANNA 2012 135 DAVID GUETTA 1996 134 OASIS 2008 129 RIHANNA 2010 126 LADY GAGA 2011 125 DAVID GUETTA 2014 125 ED SHEERAN 2009 120 BEYONCÉ 2012 119 NICKI MINAJ 2007 119 AMY WINEHOUSE 2010 119 GLEE CAST 1957 118 ELVIS PRESLEY 2010 117 RIHANNA 1961 117 SHADOWS 2011 117 TINIE TEMPAH 1963 116 SHADOWS 2011 111 JESSIE J 1956 110 BILL HALEY & HIS COMETS 1960 108 SHADOWS 2012 108 EMELI SANDÉ 2007 105 JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE 2011 104 CHRIS BROWN 2009 104 KINGS OF LEON 2007 100 AKON 2013 100 WILL.I.AM With 8 chart weeks left in 2014, he may well clock up another 30 or so appearances ("I See Fire"'s hold on a Top 75 place has been a little close for comfort over the last couple of months), Ed could well move up to 3rd overall by the turn of the year (All based on the "Week Ending" dates on charts, not date of publication etc.) As usual, any amendments or corrections welcomed.
October 28, 201410 yr Didn't realise Oasis' record had been broken so many times since 2009! Including twice by Rihanna. Really quite astonishing how many chart weeks she's racked up. I presume you are counting an extra week for 2014 as I only have 124 top 75 weeks for Ed this year ('I See Fire' was top 75 in what I have as the last week of 2013). The figures I have for the top 20 of this year so far (not exactly directly relevant to this thread but just out of interest): 1 124 Ed Sheeran 2 82 Katy Perry 3 81 Pharrell 4 79 Jess Glynne 5 78 Sam Smith 6 75 Avicii 7 63 OneRepublic =8 58 Idina Menzel =8 58 Iggy Azalea 10 57 Pitbull =11 54 5 Seconds Of Summer =11 54 Ellie Goulding 13 52 Kristen Bell =14 51 Chris Brown =14 51 Clean Bandit =16 47 Coldplay =16 47 Paloma Faith 18 46 Jason Derulo =19 45 Bastille =19 45 Charli XCX
October 28, 201410 yr Gaga on the list not once but TWICE http://i.imgur.com/hN9L5Hj.gif Slay queen http://i.imgur.com/hN9L5Hj.gif When will Katy?

Yes, I am counting from w/e 4/1/14 as this year. Looks like no one else is going to join the 100-week club this year. Edited October 28, 201410 yr by fchd
October 28, 201410 yr Yes, I am counting from w/e 4/1/14 as this year. Looks like no one else is going to join the 100-week club this year. Sam Smith could do ('Stay With Me' and 'I'm Not The Only One' will almost certainly remain for the rest of the year which will take him up to 95 weeks by your count and it's not unfeasible that he could get 5 weeks from other songs).
October 28, 201410 yr No Katy Perry on the list is quite remarkable, I'd have thought she'd be top let alone on the list at all for the Teenage Dream era.
October 28, 201410 yr Author No Katy Perry on the list is quite remarkable, I'd have thought she'd be top let alone on the list at all for the Teenage Dream era. 2008 34 KATY PERRY 2009 60 KATY PERRY 2010 85 KATY PERRY 2011 94 KATY PERRY 2012 51 KATY PERRY 2013 28 KATY PERRY 2014 84 KATY PERRY I think what you call the "Teenage Dream" era was split between 2010 & 2011. But in relation to Kath's post earlier, Perry does have more weeks in her career total than Lady Gaga, albeit not in any particular calendar year. And on another note, am I the only one to find references to "slaying" in almost every other post these days getting tiresome?
October 28, 201410 yr And on another note, am I the only one to find references to "slaying" in almost every other post these days getting tiresome? It's not just here either, it's everywhere. Such an irritating term. :arrr:
October 28, 201410 yr That makes sense then, just happened to cut-off at the time she'd have been pushing on for this list... Not quite "slaying" yet :heehee:
October 28, 201410 yr Yes @ David Guetta's slay-age :kink: in 2012~ :cheer: The Oasis total from 1996 is impressive considering the relative stability of the mid to late nineties charts to those of the current digital era. :)
October 28, 201410 yr Author Oasis' 1996 total was mainly due to their back catalogue being re-released (or at least re-promoted) as 3 for £10 CD or 12" singles, and "Wonderwall" hanging over from 1995. They only released one new single in 1996.
January 3, 201510 yr fchd's figures will differ slightly as he uses different weeks for 2014 but the final version of the list I posted for 2014: 1 162 Ed Sheeran 2 110 Sam Smith 3 94 Jess Glynne 4 90 Pharrell 5 84 Katy Perry 6 75 Avicii 7 73 OneRepublic 8 72 Iggy Azalea 9 67 Idina Menzel 10 66 Clean Bandit 11 64 Calvin Harris 12 63 Ariana Grande 13 62 Ellie Goulding 14 60 Paloma Faith 15 58 Pitbull =16 55 5 Seconds Of Summer =16 55 David Guetta =16 55 George Ezra 19 54 Coldplay =20 53 Chris Brown =20 53 One Direction By my count (again this may be using different weeks than fchd) Adele also managed 162 weeks in 2011 so Ed is tied 2nd. He's certainly at least 3rd anyway.
