January 11, 20169 yr Don't know where to ask this question so ask it here.. WDYM has been in top ten for 19 weeks. What is the record of longest stay?
January 11, 20169 yr As always with "consecutive" weeks queries, I'm not quite 100% sure of my methodology, but I think the list goes something like this Frankie Laine - I Believe - Run of 35 consecutive weeks from w/e 11/04/1953 Doris Day - Secret Love - Run of 27 consecutive weeks from w/e 03/04/1954 Frank Chacksfield - Terry's Theme (Theme From "Limelight") - Run of 23 consecutive weeks from w/e 23/05/1953 Mario Lanza - Because You're Mine - Run of 22 consecutive weeks from w/e 22/11/1952 Obernkirchen Children's Choir - The Happy Wanderer - Run of 22 consecutive weeks from w/e 23/01/1954 Bryan Adams - (Everything I Do) I Do It For You - Run of 21 consecutive weeks from w/e 29/06/1991 Beatles - She Loves You - Run of 21 consecutive weeks from w/e 07/09/1963 Mantovani - The Song From The Moulin Rouge - Run of 21 consecutive weeks from w/e 30/05/1953 Eddie Calvert - Oh Mein Papa - Run of 20 consecutive weeks from w/e 19/12/1953 Kitty Kallen - Little Things Mean A Lot - Run of 20 consecutive weeks from w/e 03/07/1954 Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud - Run of 20 consecutive weeks from w/e 18/10/2014 Wet Wet Wet - Love Is All Around - Run of 20 consecutive weeks from w/e 21/05/1994 Pharrell Williams - Happy - Run of 20 consecutive weeks from w/e 21/12/2013 Justin Bieber - What Do You Mean - Run of 19 consecutive weeks from w/e 10/09/2015 Bing Crosby & Grace Kelly - True Love - Run of 19 consecutive weeks from w/e 08/12/1956 David Whitfield with Mantovani and His Orchestra - Cara Mia - Run of 19 consecutive weeks from w/e 19/06/1954 ...
