May 28, 20169 yr Looks pretty reasonable to me! 'Gecko (Overdrive)' was definitely lucky that streaming wasn't accounted for until the following week otherwise 'Ghost' would definitely have been #1 (iirc, there was a small gap between the two and the streaming chart showed Ella to be well ahead).
May 28, 20169 yr I agree. I never understand why Ellie Goulding's 'Your Song' wasn't number one.. What stopped it?
May 28, 20169 yr I agree. I never understand why Ellie Goulding's 'Your Song' wasn't number one.. What stopped it? X Factor finalist charity single that year.
May 30, 20169 yr I think this is a pretty good and accurate list actually! Although I think One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks), Burn and Something I Need still would've made it at least.
May 30, 20169 yr The only bit I'd argue with would be middle-2011, when we had consecutive climbers from LMFAO, Bruno Mars and Pitbull. I'd leave that whole period unchanged as they were all genuine OA/OS hits.
May 31, 20169 yr I think this is a pretty good and accurate list actually! Although I think One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks), Burn and Something I Need still would've made it at least. I agree.. Burn sold 117k in its first week so that's definitely enough for a number one... Would have been more if streaming was as dominant. Something I Need would have made it as the sales were very high
