Posted October 19, 200618 yr ...or if a former #1 returns to the #1 spot, then 2006 will end up with fewer #1s than 2005 (2005 had 28, 2006 has had 18 so far, and there are 10 charts left including the one announced this coming Sunday).

Interesting statistic there... Ty is right, we have had alot of long runners (dont forget Crazy!)
October 19, 200618 yr Downloads have slowed the chart down so much, I love it! :D A #1 actually hangs around for quite a few weeks now, making it actually seem a worthy number one, rather than the usual 1 week at #1 and a few weeks in the Top 20 like 2004 -_-
October 19, 200618 yr here's some other stats, taken from polyhex.com. This shows how downloads have slowed things down. NEW ENTRIES AT #1 1996: 19 1997: 21 1998: 26 1999: 33 2000: 41 2001: 29 2002: 30 2003: 22 2004: 28 2005: 26 2006: 6 NEW ENTRIES INSIDE TOP 10 1996: 175 1997: 213 1998: 182 1999: 194 2000: 207 2001: 186 2002: 204 2003: 216 2004: 199 2005: 215 2006: 50 TOP 75 CHART ENTRIES / AVERAGE NEW ENTRIES PER WEEK (rounded) 1996: 1126 / 22 1997: 1135 / 22 1998: 1049 / 21 1999: 911 / 18 2000: 847 / 16 2001: 856 / 16 2002: 916 / 18 2003: 959 / 18 2004: 984 / 19 2005: 920 / 17 2006: 567 / 14 based on averages, for the whole of 2006 we should see 1 or 2 more records enter at #1, 10 to 12 more new entries inside the top 10 and a further 130 or so new entries in the top 75!
October 19, 200618 yr 2006 has been the strangest chart ever, hardly any new entries in the top 75, only 6 #1s gone straight to No.1 this year, compared to the last 10 years. The best chart for a long time

October 19, 200618 yr Yeah but we have downloads to thank for that don't we. -_- Thank god for downloads, or else Paris Hilton would have had a #1 hit
October 19, 200618 yr Thank god for downloads, or else Paris Hilton would have had a #1 hit :o... Imagine that... :wacko:
October 19, 200618 yr Thank god for downloads, or else Paris Hilton would have had a #1 hit And sales would be around 15k for a number 1 most weeks!
October 19, 200618 yr And you can bet we wouldn't have a song close to 820K and another that will reach 500K in a few weeks... Wow... Without downloads the Single Chart would be pathetic... And Nelly Furtado would had never been #1

And Nelly Furtado would had never been #1 And Snow Patrol would have peaked at about 20 and disappeared ages ago.......
October 19, 200618 yr NEW ENTRIES INSIDE TOP 10 2006: 50 Just 16 of those since March 19th! Edited October 19, 200618 yr by jargon
October 19, 200618 yr the charts are far more enjoyable now as you reallydont know whats h=gonna happen they are hatder to predict than they were before downloads
October 20, 200618 yr I think that sometimes they are easier to predict based on download entries in the top 40...you can more or less tell that Ordinary Boys, Meatloaf and James Morrison would have been top 10/top 15 this week based on last weeks positions... And if a song tipped to do well doesn't go top 75 on downloads alone then you can tell its going to flop before you even see the mids...
October 20, 200618 yr Hey lads, was wondering if someone would know how many songs peaked at #1 in their 2nd week of release this year, i.e. after the physicals went on sale cheers :)
October 20, 200618 yr here's some other stats, taken from polyhex.com. This shows how downloads have slowed things down. have they also got the percent of records that becomes a hit from all records released into music weeks' listings per year and number of chart hits?
