October 31, 2024Oct 31 Author 'HOT TO GO!' became only the fourth song to register a 15th new peak position in the Top 100. 'I Love You, I'm Sorry' and 'The Door' would join it if they improve on their current peaks. Disturbed - The Sound Of Silence equalled the record of 29 weeks in the Top 50 without reaching the Top 20, set by 'Dog Days Are Over'.
May 11May 11 Author Updated everything as of this week. 'Iris' will likely overtake 'Chasing Cars' to move into 4th place for most weeks in the Top 100 over the next fortnight.One thing I'd missed recently is the most weeks Top 75 without going Top 30 being taken by Gracie Abrams - Close To You, now on 39 - the previous record of 30 for Ruth B. - Dandelions is still the most without going Top 40.At the start of 2023, ACR had been in existence for five and a half years, and the song with the most weeks in the Top 40 while on SCR was 'Someone You Loved' with 32. Less than two and a half years later, ten songs have reached that mark of 32 weeks or more, as 'Bad Dreams' and 'Beautiful Things' have done so this week. Edited May 11May 11 by jimwatts
May 11May 11 I believe The Sound Of Silence has now overtaken Evergreen on most weeks without going to ACR- 53 weeks on the chart during 2024-2025! Edited May 11May 11 by gasman449

However the same probably applies to 'Evergreen', so arguably that shouldn't top the list anymore either way.Edit: I've reworded the criteria for that list slightly: "Songs with most weeks in the UK Top 100 before first* falling to ACR" and put 'The Sound Of Silence' top with 'Evergreen' second.
