October 13, 20214 yr Elton is the first in OCC history though as they weren't a company until the late 60s
October 13, 20214 yr Technically the OCC as we know it today was commissioned by CIN in 1994 when Milllward Brown took over chart compilation. Eventually that became the OCC in 2002 (I think) and CIN themselves coming on board with Gallup in 1990 when they signed a new contract to produce the charts. So the OCC's "history" can only really be claimed back to 1990 at best.
October 13, 20214 yr Lmao :lol: I think Eminem would win the Top 10s in the most decades award if we took that definition.
October 13, 20214 yr I think only Eminem, Craig David and now Elton for those 4 decades - unless you count Mariah, Baddiel & Skinner et al with the same song multiple times. Edited October 13, 20214 yr by jimwatts
October 13, 20214 yr Yeah Cliff did it first the Official Chart has had different compilers since its inception pre-OCC should still come into it

October 13, 20214 yr https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/oct/...les-six-decades The Guardian are jumping on board as well, they seem to have went with the OCC article. All good though for the public awareness of the charts and Elton so might get more support!
October 13, 20214 yr Omg Adele is still climbing lol 25 is now up to 8 Wonder if two Adele albums could be top 5 on Xmas week? The weeks before are likely too busy for it to happen but when physicals pick up significantly on Xmas week both could make it?
October 13, 20214 yr A Dell could easily get top 5 this week with 25, and probably even higher next week with the new single hype!
October 13, 20214 yr So i'm guessing Jesy will be #5 in tomorrow's mids, has her youtube streaming being added? If it's not I'm guessing it's going to debut at #4! How far ahead is she of #6?
October 13, 20214 yr Hasn't Elton already had a Top 10 hit in the 2020s? Step Into Christmas got to number 8 in the first chart of this year!
October 13, 20214 yr Signed Dua 99p CDs back up for ‘Cold Heart’ - https://store.eltonjohn.com/*/The-Lockdown-...NLY/76DK1BIA000
October 13, 20214 yr Remind me is Seventeen Going Under going to end up in Top 40 this week but not shown in these updates as the ACR reset hasn't been applied yet?
