Yes you are correct it is 15 - that was a bit of a maths fail.

 

Longest consecutive runs without a debut at #1 since 1990:

 

53 (December 1989 - December 1990)

45 (June 1992 - April 1993)

39 (January - November 1991)

29 (February - September 1994)

24 (December 1991 - June 1992)

24 (October 1994 - April 1995)

22 (May - October 2007)

15* (February - May 2016)

 

Pretty much amazing, given its coming to the end of May only had 5 new #1s this year, not including Justin Bieber at the beginning of the year as he returned back to the top for 3 weeks, between Lukas Graham, Mike Posner and Drake they have amassed together 15 weeks at #1 :o
