It wasn't really specifically Pitbull, they just used to never play any rap music (they had a similar edit for 'I Gotta Feeling'). Although they would somewhat bafflingly still occasionally play 'Gangsta's Paradise' by Coolio which always struck me as a very weird song to pick as your one exception to no rap ever (I expect it was because of the Stevie Wonder sample but still!)

 

Probably because Gangsta's Paradise is an incredible song. It happens to new my all time favourite song, I don't think it will ever be bettered for me

Happy to see Jessie Ware's "Remember Where You Are" top 20 on iTunes again! Discount + airplay helping it out. :wub: If only it would get good streaming support.

 

Also great to see UKD at #1 again *_* I really hope they can go top 40 come Friday. I've had the song stuck in my head all day :lol:

Such a great song! I’d say it qualifies for our ‘unlucky no.2s’ list going up against Elton.

Yeah definitely. I wonder what it sold that week. Such a shame it was up against Elton otherwise it would have been a 100% number one strike rate from 'Be Here Now'!

137k which would have been enough for #1 most weeks.

Thanks Liam. Definitely a contender in the 'unlucky number 2s' list then. I miss the days when singles regularly sold that much!

crazy for a post-album single to sell so much!

Why are these Oasis singles so high up?

Who knew Halifax adverts were still a thing.

Why wouldn't they have them? :P

Not that crazy, it was fairly common back in those days. People bought singles for the extra tracks, of which Oasis usually had 3 on each single. In fact 'Don't Look Back In Anger', despite being the 4th single from one of the biggest selling albums ever, opened at #1 with first week sales of 227,000!

People also used to collect singles from one particular artist too.

 

I’ve always thought it’s an injustice that Stand By Me peaked at two when their two inferior singles from Be Here Now got to no.1.

11. Rita Ora & Imanbek - Bang Bang

15. Jessie Ware - Remember Where You Are

 

46. Masked Wolf - Astronaut In The Ocean

48. Navos - Believe Me

 

9. Jessie Ware- Remember Where You Are

 

Great to see this climb, the album is back to 2 as well!

2. Nathan Evans, 220 KID & Billen Ted - Wellerman (Sea Shanty / 220 KID x Billen Ted Remix)

3. Nathan Evans - Wellerman (Sea Shanty)

9. Jessie Ware - Remember Where You Are
