Posted September 11, 20204 yr Given the ever-decreasing impact of iTunes on the charts, thought it would be interesting to see how the iTunes #1s do officially: 01 Lewis Capaldi - Before You Go (1st - 3rd Jan) 01 Tones & I - Dance Monkey (4th - 8th, 11th Jan) DNC The Wolfe Tones - Come out Ye Black and Tans (9th - 10th Jan) DNC Dafydd Iwan ac Ar Log - Yma O Hyd (12th - 13th Jan) 01 The Weeknd - Blinding Lights (14th - 27th Jan, 28th Jan - 13th Feb, 26th - 27th Feb, 3rd - 12th Mar, 14th - 16th, 25th - 26th Mar, 29th Mar - 2nd Apr, 5th - 9th, 11th - 15th Apr, 12th - 14th, 16th - 19th May) 30 André Rieu & Johann Strauss Orchestra - Ode to Joy (28th - 29th Jan) 01 Billie Eilish - No Time To Die (14th - 20th, 22nd - 25th Feb) 21 BTS - ON (21st Feb) 05 Lady GaGa - Stupid Love (28th Feb - 2nd Mar) DNC V - Sweet Night (13th Mar) 01 SAINt JHN - Roses (Imanbek Remix) (17th - 24th Mar) 09 Little Mix - Break Up Song (27th - 28th Mar) 34 Matt Lucas - Thank You Baked Potato (3rd - 4th Apr) DNC Skerryvore - Everyday Heroes (10th Apr) 72 Vera Lynn & Katherine Jenkins - We'll Meet Again (16th April) 01 Michael Ball, Captain Tom Moore & The NHS Voices of Care Choir - You'll Never Walk Alone (17th - 22nd Apr) 01 Live Lounge Allstars - Times Like These (23rd Apr - 3rd May, 6th - 7th May) 53 Amanda Holden - Over The Rainbow (4th - 5th May) 55 Vera Lynn - We'll Meet Again (8th May) 04 Ariana Grande & Justin Bieber - Stuck with U (9th - 11th May) 37 Katy Perry - Daisies (15th May) 03 Topic & A7S - Breaking Me (20th - 21st May) 01 Lady GaGa & Ariana Grande - Rain On Me (22nd May - 9th Jun, 13th - 18th Jun) DNC Scott Gilhooly - Scott Gilhooly RIP Only You (feat.

But barring the recent hits (which may well climb higher) most of the songs in here are either Top 10s or non-hits with not too much in-between.
September 11, 20204 yr It's kind of interesting just to look back at the list of iTunes #1s - funny to see how it keeps oscillating between genuinely big hits and flash in the pan political / charity / BTS songs :lol:
September 11, 20204 yr Author Definitely! Part of the reason I did this was to look back on all the flash-in-the-pan songs I forgot existed. I do remember the Scott Gilhooly one being at #1 as it felt like a completely random song to get there but there are some like the Skerryvore one and the two BTS songs I completely forgot existed :lol: We seem to be in a period now where the two streaming behemoths aren't setting the iTunes chart alight so we could easily be getting some more 'random' songs at #1 in the weeks to come.
September 12, 20204 yr Author An NHS charity single I believe, it was out of the Top 10 within 4 days so I don't blame you for missing it.
