March 9, 200619 yr Thanks Mikey, I'm guessing Shayne Ward could be the next act to do it, or another X-Factor act?
March 9, 200619 yr Ronan Keating was at number 1 with When You Say Nothing At All in the same week as he was number 1 in the album charts with By Request with Boyzone. Is he the only artist to be number 1 in both charts as a solo act and as part of a band?
January 27, 20169 yr Ronan Keating was at number 1 with When You Say Nothing At All in the same week as he was number 1 in the album charts with By Request with Boyzone. Is he the only artist to be number 1 in both charts as a solo act and as part of a band? Good question.
January 27, 20169 yr All the one weekers were the cause of the gap between these two 21/06/1997 1 Hanson Middle Of Nowhere // Mmmbop 03/02/2001 1 Limp Bizkit Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water // Rollin' Edited January 27, 20169 yr by Colm
January 28, 20169 yr Wow this thread has been resurrected just ahead of it's 10th birthday! :birthday: I might try to add an update from 2006 to the present day. One thing that occurs to me though is that prior to 1978 the album chart for any given sales week was announced a week later than the singles chart for the same period, and that is why when this changed there were two album charts with the same date at one point that year (I forget exactly which date), so that would need taking into account for these stats, and I've no idea what the turn around was for the Melody Maker and NME album charts prior to Record Retailer charts, or whether the RR album chart was always a week delayed or whether this just came into effect with the BMRB and it's sales diaries in 1969. Perhaps I'm over thinking things though.

January 29, 20169 yr I was going to ask, if any act's number 1 single wasn't from the number 1 album, but then I noticed The Beatles, as Sgt Pepper I believe had no singles released from it.
January 29, 20169 yr I suppose theres a small chance of Rihanna achieving this feat this week with Work and ANTi?
January 29, 20169 yr I was going to ask, if any act's number 1 single wasn't from the number 1 album, but then I noticed The Beatles, as Sgt Pepper I believe had no singles released from it. Strictly speaking the title track did eventually come out as a single, but over ten years later and it didn't get to Number One. Or the Top 40 at all in fact. These are the ones I think where the single wasn't on the album: 26/01/1961 4 Elvis Presley G.I. Blues // Are You Lonesome Tonight? 01/06/1961 4 Elvis Presley G.I. Blues // Surrender 05/10/1961 1 The Shadows The Shadows // Kon-Tiki 24/05/1962 4 Elvis Presley Blue Hawaii // Good Luck Charm 24/01/1963 1 The Shadows Out Of The Shadows // Dance On! 09/05/1963 6 The Beatles Please Please Me // From Me To You 12/09/1963 5 The Beatles Please Please Me // She Loves You 05/12/1963 1 The Beatles With The Beatles // She Loves You 12/12/1963 5 The Beatles With The Beatles // I Want To Hold Your Hand 02/04/1964 3 The Beatles With The Beatles // Can't Buy Me Love 16/07/1964 1 The Rolling Stones The Rolling Stones // It's All Over Now 10/12/1964 1 The Beatles A Hard Day's Night // I Feel Fine 17/12/1964 4 The Beatles Beatles For Sale // I Feel Fine 18/03/1965 3 The Rolling Stones The Rolling Stones Vol.2 // The Last Time 29/04/1965 2 The Beatles Beatles For Sale // Ticket To Ride 23/12/1965 4 The Beatles Rubber Soul // Day Tripper / We Can Work It Out 26/05/1966 1 The Rolling Stones Aftermath // Paint It Black 19/07/1967 3 The Beatles Sgt.

January 29, 20169 yr Interesting that Queen have done it with 1) Bohemian Rhapsody and its parent album 2) A Greatest Hits set which includes BR and a single not on that album 3) BR and a Greatest Hits set which doesn't include the song
January 29, 20169 yr Is there any value in looking at artists that had simultaneous number 2 single/number 2 album for multiple weeks? Has anyone held the number 2 in both charts for 4 or more weeks?
