August 29, 20214 yr It'll be interesting to see if Bad Habits going on ACR on its 12th week will be the cause of it dropping from #1, or if it would've dropped anyway due to his new track (or, very unlikely, if it manages to stay at #1 even while on ACR)
August 29, 20214 yr Random bump for this to note that ACR hasn't affected the #1 spot at all so far this year (drivers license would have fallen off #1 anyway in week 10) - this is the furthest we've got into a calendar year without an ACR-induced swap since the rule was introduced. I have noticed the number ones are being replaced by a new big hit a lot this year!
September 25, 20214 yr Author Unsurprisingly, we've now got our first "fake" #1 from Shivers, which is already the second longest-running fake #1 and could match Ed's own record of 3 fake weeks for Own It this week :lol: will be interesting to see whether it becomes a real #1 at some point or not!

I'm thinking Shivers will become a real #1 this coming week, what with the 2nd run of the physicals and him doing the rounds on TV supporting the song.
September 26, 20214 yr So Bad Habits would have been a “true #1” for 13 weeks now - dangerously close to Bryan Adams territory!
December 13, 20214 yr Author Updated as Merry Christmas by Ed & Elton would only have been #3 if Wham! and Mariah weren't on ACR!
January 8, 20224 yr Author Updated for the last few weeks - Merry Christmas gained all three of its weeks at #1 due to ACR, matching Own It's record (both songs involving Ed). Speaking of Ed, Shivers is the first song to both gain and lose weeks at the top - it gained 2 and lost 1, putting it at a net gain of 1 week thanks to ACR.
January 8, 20224 yr Weeks at #1 gained because of ACR Weeks at #1 lost because of ACR 1 Wham! - Last Christmas You forgot to add 2 of the 3 weeks that Last Christmas 'lost' at no.1 while "Merry Christmas" was there officially. Edited January 8, 20224 yr by braindeadpj
January 9, 20224 yr Ahh yes as I posted in the sales thread I was thinking it was quite unusual to have a song both gaining and losing #1 weeks because of ACR, quite a unique set of circumstances leading to that so I wonder if that may remain the only one for some time.
June 11, 20224 yr Update Weeks at #1 lost because of ACR 4 Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas Is You 4 Tones and I - Dance Monkey 3 Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee feat. Justin Bieber - Despacito 3 The Weeknd - Blinding Lights 3 Wham! - Last Christmas 2 Ed Sheeran - Bad Habits 1 24kGoldn feat. iann dior - Mood 1 Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa - One Kiss 1 Drake - God's Plan 1 Ed Sheeran - Shivers 1 Ed Sheeran & Justin Bieber - I Don't Care 1 Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill *
June 11, 20224 yr Really hope Kate does actually make #1 somehow, I didn't realise she's currently the only song to have been the 'true' number one without ever actually making it on the 'official' chart
June 11, 20224 yr I know there's a purpose to ACR but surely there's gotta be a way they can skirt round Kate as an exception when she was #1 without it. It's just as history making as going to a new peak of #2. OCC must be taking real notice on the comments section under their article :kink:
June 11, 20224 yr Author If they didn't change the rules when Mariah was denied a #1 peak (obviously before she got there regardless) then I don't see why this would make them change their minds...!
July 17, 20223 yr Author Afraid to Feel has become the fourth song to gain more than one extra week at #1, and third that hasn't actually been the "real" #1 (yet, anyway). Kate's lost 3 weeks, which would've been half of her total run at #1 in the "old rules" (aka Top 200 Combined) chart.
July 18, 20223 yr So we're still awaiting the first ever song to be denied any weeks at all at #1 because of ACR, that surprises me. Edit: Although presumably this would have been Kate Bush if she weren't reset. Edited July 18, 20223 yr by Dobbo.
August 12, 20232 yr Bumping this as it seems inevitable that unless Dua sells a load of CD's we're gonna get an ACR induced #1 this week. Also unsure if ACR affected #1 around Christmas last year as it doesn't seem to have been updated, can anyone confirm?

Also unsure if ACR affected #1 around Christmas last year as it doesn't seem to have been updated, can anyone confirm? Ladbaby were the Christmas number 1 due to the ACR rule 1 - Ladbaby on SCR with 65,335 sales 2 - Wham! on ACR with 54,559 sales. Edited August 12, 20232 yr by mrpopquiz
August 18, 20232 yr Another one to add to the list on tonight's chart 1 - What Was I Made For - Billie Eilish - SCR sales of 45,488 Sprinter - Dave / Central Cee down 1 - 10 on ACR figure of 23,017 but would still be number 1 if on SCR with total of 45,762.
