honourable mentions to Glenn Miller's In The Mood (50 years) for being sampled in Jive Bunny's Swing The Mood along with a bunch of 50's tracks, and Mint Royale's remix of Singing In The Rain by Gene Kelly (56 years)...

Of course In The Mood charted in 1976 as part of a Glenn Miller EP with Moonlight Seranade and Little Brown Jug.

Just leaving a placeholder post here for no particular reason….

 

Also, if there are any errors in the OP, please comment ofc :)

If you wanted to be really pedantic, Wham! doesn't count because Last Christmas wasn't a stand alone single until later on. It was a double-a-side with Everything She Wants originally. So I guess you can say it's the biggest gap for a song/record/track, but not a single. ;)

Haha I would have been so disappointed if nobody had pulled me up on something xx

 

I don’t know how to change the thread title though - doesn’t seem right to relegate Wham to 13 years (or whenever the download was released)

I was about to make a smartarse comment about how the OCC website isn't tying Kate's current run to the original 1985 run, instead listing it as having entered in 2012 and previously peaked at #6 meaning it would """technically""" only have waited 10 years for #1, however it appears they've now fixed that to ruin my fun :kink:

 

(was just wondering if I'd imagined that but I do see a comment under the chart from the week before last pointing out that they mistakenly listed the song's peak as #6)

Updated :)
