I think the 59p reduction kinda helped

There was that too, but I think it had a big increase in video streams this week too, inexplicably

I doubt it's the record but Let It Go accumulated 14.

It actually had 16 weeks top 20 :o

In total, yes. But as a consecutive chart run it was 11 weeks.

Looks like that record may well belong to Jay-Z and Linkin Park then! So much injustice!
Possibly 'Numb/Encore' by Jay-Z/Linkin Park, 13 weeks drifting between numbers 14 and 19, back between December 2004 and March 2005...

 

Edit: Doctor Blind beat me to it!

 

While we're on that subject, is Panic Room any nearer to breaking the record for most weeks spent in the 31-40 bracket without ever being top 30 if not already?

The servers just can't handle the baby shark, do do do do do do.

At the moment they are only showing the top 40 chart you can find it by pressing the NEWS tab and hit the relevant singles and albums news articles. Their chart database must have gone offline :(

I think the chart has got even worse (well as bad as when Ed Sheeran's entire album was in the top 20!). The current number one has been in the chart for 21 weeks! 5 MONTHS AND BACK UP TO NUMBER ONE. Shotgun rises back to number one. That's crazy. :( This sort of chart activity would have been impossible pre-internet and pre-streaming.

 

Other than a 16 - 20 week limit for all songs eligible for streaming chart status, I cannot see any other way to improve the chart. No amount of chart stream 'quotas' will change the jukebox nature of the chart. Streaming will never equal true sales so just cap the streams - 20 weeks is enough and then the song is not eligible for chart sales. That would mean Geroge Ezra's Shotgun would have dropped out of the top 40 last week.

 

The chart is busted, folks. Time for radical change.

22/10/1994 Celine Dion Think Twice 1 53-42-52-30-28-22-20-9-8-5-6-4-2-2-2-{1}-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-4-12-17-22-34-51-67-70->31

 

pre-internet, pre-streaming, this was still at #1 on its 21st week in the chart.

Wow that's amazing. I never knew that. You sure know your chart facts. :cool: Any other songs go back to number one weeks/months later?
