May 29, 20241 yr love love love those early 2000s run of David Gray, Moby, Damien Rice and co I also remember KT Tunstall's debut doing this crazy pattern: 73-80-66-60-54-37-36-40-46-63-63-60-59-43-38-18-9-7-11-10-10-19-20-13-24-25-21-26-29-26-18-13-7-5-[3]-6-5-5-6-10-13-15-22-27-21-19-17-15-15-17-6-7-12-21-20-19-4-[3] Killers-Hot Fuzz also took a while to get there 6-25-25-39-42-40-39-37-38-29-22-17-19-17-25-39-53-51-54-61-52-50-54-54-55-53-45-35-24-5-2-[1]-[1]
May 29, 20241 yr I really miss the era of people discovering albums along the way. Much better than todays strategy of throw everything out there for a first week peak and then forget about it.
May 29, 20241 yr I'm surprised that no-one has mentioned Shania's Come On Over. It took 79 weeks to get to number one. It spent 41 consecutive weeks in the top 5.
May 29, 20241 yr This is 00s specific I think, otherwise I'd mention the first two Corrs albums, Alanis etc...
May 29, 20241 yr I know it's 90s but the chart run of Jagged Little Pill was all kinds of insane if I recall correctly took months to reach the top 40, then months in the top 10 before hitting 1
May 29, 20241 yr Ellie Goulding - Halcyon entered at #2 in October 2012 and peaked at #1 in January 2014
May 29, 20241 yr To be fair, this was months after the new version had been released (where it had started out at #3 in August) so technically it still counts!
May 29, 20241 yr Author Did GA’s debut enter at #2? Something tells me it didn’t go top 10 originally… :unsure:
May 29, 20241 yr Did GA’s debut enter at #2? Something tells me it didn’t go top 10 originally… :unsure: Yes it did!
May 29, 20241 yr I know it did well from the off, but Lady Gaga’s The Fame took ages to reach number 1! (I think?)
May 29, 20241 yr Author I know it did well from the off, but Lady Gaga’s The Fame took ages to reach number 1! (I think?) If you call 12 weeks ages, yes :lol: probably off the back of Paparazzi
May 29, 20241 yr Florence + The Machine - Lungs spent it’s first 5 weeks at #2 then finally reached no. 1 in it’s 28th week
May 30, 20241 yr If you call 12 weeks ages, yes :lol: probably off the back of Paparazzi 12 weeks is quite a long time really!
May 30, 20241 yr Paparazzi had nothing to do with The Fame's rise to #1, it charted 5 months after. It was purely the height of Poker Face in April 2009. Of course Paparazzi gave some extra longevity later.
May 30, 20241 yr oops so I was wrong about Ellie-Halcyon, I thought she had gone straight to #1 with the re-issue that included Burn but it actually went to #1 the following year, what was the reason? I see t was in January, was it cos of a sale? or Jan low sales?
