July 1, 20232 yr 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.
May 30May 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!
May 30May 30 The fact that this feat was so elusive for many years and now it's happening nearly every year!
May 30May 30 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?

It only needs to hit 15, 17 and 29 at some point to more than double the record to a Top 30!
September 19Sep 19 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.
September 23Sep 23 '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.

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.
