April 20, 20223 yr Has Sash! spent the most weeks at #2 in total without making #1 (as well as having the most #2 hits without making #1)?
April 20, 20223 yr They only did six weeks at #2 across those 5 songs so they get beat by All-4-One whose 'I Swear' did 7 weeks at #2. Not sure if that is the record though.
April 20, 20223 yr Common People is the first to come to mind... although Wonderwall and Love The Way You Lie are close behind it
April 20, 20223 yr Nat King Cole has had 9 weeks at #2 across three songs - that is still the record. Rag 'N' Bone Man is on 8 weeks (along with Frank Chacksfield), so he could overtake, as could DJ Snake and The Kid Laroi who are both on 7 weeks.
April 20, 20223 yr "Adelante" is a track that I never appreciated at the time but it's just beautiful and cinematic when I heard it recently.
April 20, 20223 yr Has Sash! spent the most weeks at #2 in total without making #1 (as well as having the most #2 hits without making #1)? Sash! would’ve had two #1s if Biggie and Di never died in 1997
April 21, 20223 yr Better In Time by Leona It was released as a double A-side yet the sales of each song were split?
April 22, 20223 yr Confide in me by Kylie Minogue. Such a strong comeback song which truly deserved to dislodge the Wets after their 15 week run at no1. Unfortunately, the awful Whigfield did it instead. Edited April 22, 20223 yr by slowdown73
April 22, 20223 yr Go West by Pet Shop Boys blocked off by Culture Beat and Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince in 1993. Huge fan of that band.
April 22, 20223 yr Better In Time by Leona It was released as a double A-side yet the sales of each song were split? Kobbar certainly had something to say about that.
April 22, 20223 yr guess it's cos in the digital era, the 2 songs are available separately not together
April 22, 20223 yr ^Thats true, and in the 90s release it was beaten by The Simpsons - Do the Bartman one of the worst #1s un history :/
April 22, 20223 yr I'd actually say Pogues/Kirsty MacColl "Fariytale of New York" has a valid case - NINE seperate runs in the top 10 but hasn't quite clinched no.1. It was the most popular legacy Christmas song in the download era usually outpeaking Mariah but sadly not quite as big on streaming as her or Wham nowadays. Unlikely to change in the future, although getting to no.4 for the last 3 consecutive years is mightily impressive. Especially with that controversy over the "f" word which I would have thought has done the song more harm than good.
April 22, 20223 yr If you count its two runs in the Top 10 in 2018 when it went 10-11-4, that's TEN runs, with peak positions of: #2, #3, #6, #4, #5, #10, #4, #4, #4, #4.
April 24, 20223 yr This is the only correct answer zvpeBPxyZAYOkay, off-topic but when was the title changed from 'You Bring Me Joy' to 'Bring Me Joy'?
