I was annoyed when it had a week at #8 last year, if I remember rightly it was midweek #7 for some of the week too! :drama:

I think it could possibly happen, depending what day of the week it is etc.

    It has this week! The chart began as a Top 12, so it has taken 73 years of chart history for any song to cover all those positions.

    And just 3 weeks later it has pushed the record out to a Top 14 clean sweep. It only needs to hit 15, 17 and 29 at some point to more than double the record to a Top 30!

Benson Boone - Beautiful Things, on its 33rd week in the Top 10, follows 'Last Christmas' and 'As It Was' as the third song to have completed a Top 10 clean sweep. 'As It Was' was the first to do so without leaving the Top 100 but dropped as low as #96, whereas with a low point of #95, 'Beautiful Things' is the first to do so without leaving the... Top 95! cheeseblock

In fact Beautiful Things equals Last Christmas by actually completing a Top 11 clean sweep, with As It Was having only done a Top 10 clean sweep. Maybe next week Beautiful Things will become the first track in history to complete a clean sweep of the Top 12?

The last five charts have seen Beautiful Things chip away at the 31-40 section, achieving three of the six positions in that range that it hadn't done before. Now it only needs 15, 17, 29, 34, 36 and 37 for a complete tour of the top 40. It's consistently in the 31-40 range at the moment so it's certainly possible that it will get the lower three of those soon. All it needs is a random resurgence at some point and even the other three could end up happening.

'Beautiful Things' is indeed the first song to cover 34 different Top 40 positions! 'Blinding Lights' and the three big Christmas songs across the digital era have 33 each.

It's knocked off #36 now, so that's 35 different Top 40 positions now.

And now it's got #37 too. That's 36 of the Top 40 positions it has visited, leaving only 15, 17, 29 and 34 unvisited by the track. I'm not sure if it can get any of those now, but never say never.
