December 22, 20222 yr 2/2 Baddiel & Skinner (I’m counting Three Lions ‘98 as a separate song, ok!) The fact it's got very different lyrics mean, in my mind, it's definitely separate.
December 22, 20222 yr Claims for Baddiel & Skinner are rather scuppered by this year's new version of 3 Lions. The only difference is that its sales were combined with the earlier versions from the start, whereas the 1996 and 1998 versions' sales have only been combined in the digital era.
December 22, 20222 yr LadBaby was talking about doing a World Cup song - they presumably decided against it as they were worried it would scupper this very record. Utterly bizarrely, they have the best ever record for a 100% number 1 hit rate - but they also have the worst record for number 1 hits sticking in the charts. Every single song has spent just a single week in the top 20. I Love Sausage Rolls was the first number 1 to spend only 1 week in the top 40, while Don't Stop Me Eatin' was the first number 1 to spend only 1 week in the top 75. Food Aid has a real shot at being the first number 1 to go 1-out.
December 22, 20222 yr Assuming 'Food Aid' only has one week in the top 40 (seems like a safe assumption) then LadBaby will be up to a cumulative 5 weeks at #1 and 8 weeks in the top 40.
