That's a lot of typing you did - must have taken you hours.

It was worth the typing.

Looks like the only song here which never made the Top 10 is, perhaps unsurprisingly given how slow the charts were, from 2016 - Sucker For Pain which peaked at #11.

 

Although it appears its 'turn' at #1 under this system is on a week when it was actually at #13. I'd guess no songs took their turns from a lower position, even songs that peaked in the Top 10 in a different week?

You are absolutely right.

WAP despite peaking at 4 so far is this week's unofficial chart topper.

Dynamite by BTS is this week's unofficial No.1

Mood by 24KGoldn is this week's unofficial No.1

As it's Christmas Eve and I'm looking for distractions from work I thought I'd bring this up to date as I thought it was a fun idea. :D

 

Earlier post covered the period up to the week ending 13/8/20 which was My Future by Billie Eilish.

 

20/8/20 Cardi B ft Megan Thee Stallion - WAP (1)

27/8/20 Drake ft Lil Durk - Laugh Now Cry Later (4)

3/9/20 BTS - Dynamite (3)

10/9/20 24kGoldn ft Iann Dior - Mood (1)

17/9/20 Headie One ft AJ Tracey and Stormzy - Ain't It Different (2)

24/9/20 Paul Woolford and Diplo ft Kareen Lomax - Looking For Me (4)

1/10/20 Pop Smoke ft Lil Tjay - Mood Swings (5)

8/10/20 Internet Money ft Gunna, Don Toliver and Nav - Lemonade (1)

15/10/20 Tate McRae - You Broke Me First (3)

22/10/20 Miley Cyrus - Midnight Sky (5)

29/10/20 Pop Smoke - What You Know Bout Love (4)

5/11/20 Ariana Grande - Positions (1)

12/11/20 Wes Nelson and Hardy Caprio - See Nobody (3)

19/11/20 Little Mix - Sweet Melody (3)

26/11/20 Billie Eilish - Therefore I Am (2)

3/12/20 Dua Lipa - Levitating (5)

10/12/20 Ariana Grande - 34 + 35 (9)

17/12/20 Elton John - Step into Christmas (8)

24/12/20 Taylor Swift - Willow (3)

31/12/20 Ladbaby - Don't Stop me Eatin' (1) (premature announcement shocker)

 

I quite like the way that this shares the Number 1 glory around - but you still need to be quite a big and popular hit to get there (with the odd exception like My Future).

Christ that really would have summed up 2020 had Billie Eilish managed three UK #1s :manson:

I actually once did this very same list, but starting from the first chart in 1952. The only bit I ever put online was from 2010 onwards. which is on my private website here http://www.spanglefish.com/webbyswonderful...p?pageid=288578 although I haven't updated it for a while.

I've just finished comparing my version of the list against Adrian's and found only a few periods where we disagree, and only then from 2016 onwards:

 

15/12/2016 to 12/01/2017 I let Mariah have the first of these weeks, because I allow previously listed songs to become re-eligible after having been excluded for 52 weeks. Adrian’s list have the other four songs I have in that period, but his fifth week has Daft Punk (who were only at #13 in that week) to compensate for not having Mariah initially

 

21/12/2017 Mariah’s 52nd week of ineligibility was the week before, so she became eligible for my list again in the same week she climbed to #2, thus getting relisted on my list. Adrian again steps over Mariah, and has to go down as far as #11 to find NF (also stepping over Wham! and The Pogues in the process).

 

04/01/2018 Similarly I gave it to Wham! this week, who had climbed to #2, but Adrian steps over them and travels down the chart to Brenda Lee at #9, who was last in the top ten with the track at Xmas 1962, It does look like she would not quite have made the list back then, so would have still been eligible for Adrian’s list at this point.

 

05/04/2018 to 12/04/2018 I have Freak Friday then Weeknd’s Call My Name, where Adrian has Zedd then Freaky Friday. In the first of these weeks Freaky Friday was definitely higher in the chart, and we both agree it was eligible at the time (as Adrian lists it the following week), so not sure why we have a discrepancy.

 

19/07/2018 to 26/07/2018 As with the first difference I allowed an old song to be relisted, this time 3 Lions, which was number one that week. Adrian stepped over 3 Lions, listed Drake a week early, and thus gave Ariana an extra song on the list.

 

03/01/2019 to 17/01/2019 In the first of these weeks I once again relisted Mariah, who had once again climbed to #2. Adrian steps over her and 3 other xmas oldies, and finds Michael Buble at #7, in his first top ten week with that track. In the second week there were 2 Post Malone tracks in the top 5, and the higher of the two was Sunflower, which I listed, whilst the other was Wow, which Adrian lists in the same week. The following week Wow had overtaken Sunflower, but if you had, in error, listed Wow the previous week then Sunflower would still be the highest unlisted track, as it is still above Headie One, which Adrian thus promotes to his list at the expense of Sunflower.

 

21/03/2019 to 11/04/2019 In the first of these weeks the top 7 are ineligible, and 3 of the next 4 are by Dave. I list Disaster, which was at #8 that week, whilst Adrian lists Location, which was lower, at #11. In week two of this period Adrian list Lauv at #8, thought Tom Walker had just climbed to #4 and made my list. In week 3 I list Location, now at #6, whilst Adrian now lists Tom Walker, who is up to #3, so we have both played catch-up a bit with each other’s lists. In week 4 I list Bad Guy, which is new at #2, but Adrian lists Bury A Friend, which climbed to #6.

 

25/04/2019 After agreeing on Old Town Road the previous week, when it shot up to #2, we diverge again, with Adrian listing Bad Guy, at #3 that week, and me, having already listed Bad Guy, listing Maduza at #4. This week is the last week I listed when I last updated my page, so I would need to calculated the rest from scratch to compare them, which I may do after Xmas.

 

wow Madonna would have been the artist with the most no1 of all time

suprised to see Modern Talking and Sinitta

i expected to see Samantha Fox

interesting those who lost their no1s because of Bryan Adams and Wet Wet Wet

At the end of 2020 I was saying that if only we had this system we’d have gained some beautiful Number 1s like Looking for Me and Midnight Sky. This year so far on the other hand we’d have had some horrors! :lol:

Peaches has only been in the chart for 2 weeks - I think Friday is out of sequence above and the last few weeks would have been:

 

4/3/21 - Tiesto - The Business (3)

11/3/21 - Riton featuring Nightcrawlers - Friday (4)

18/3/21 - Drake - What's Next (4)

8/4/21 - Lil Nas X - MONTERO (1)

 

Looks like it'll be Bed next week.
