Ella Langley's Choosin' Texas at #15 get's a fourth week on this list. The Chemical Brothers climb into the Top 10 from #22 with Go, and Michael Jackson reenters there with Human Nature at #6, which previously peaked at #62, with neither causing any further changes to this list.

Ella Langley's Choosin' Texas at #17 get's a fifth week on this list. There are three new entries to the top 10 for Drake, but nothing climbs into the 10 from outside so no other changes to this list.

Ella Langley's Choosin' Texas at #16 get's a sixth week on this list. A new entry from Olivia Rodrigo in the Top 10, and two Zara Larsson climb into the 10, but as the latter had already been Top 10 there are no other changes to this list.

Ella Langley's Choosin' Texas returns to its previous peak at #13 and get's a seventh week here. Will it crack the Top 10 next week and force me to recalculate 7 week's worth of this list?

Please remind us - which track holds the record for most weeks on this list?

Based on what Jim said earlier in the thread I think it's Idina Menzel's Let It Go with 13 weeks, one more than Mark Ambor's 12 with Belong Together.

So no, it didn't crack the Top 10 yet, but reached a new peak of #12. That's 8 weeks now as the highest placed non-Top 10 single.

In a way I hope it doesn’t crack the top 10 just so you don’t have weeks upon weeks of recalculations to do!

In fairness it wouldn't take all that long to redo those weeks. That's partly because I'm now subscribed to Melody Charts, which makes the research of things like this so much easier and quicker than the OCC site does (and also doesn't jump scare me every 5 minutes like the OCC site does with Beetlejuice yelling at me or a referee blowing his whistle at me). It's also partly that I have already preemptively prepared a bit of paper with the next candidate for each of those weeks, so I should be prepped for the circumstance, unless any of the next candidates have inconveniently also somehow managed to make the Top 10 in the interim.

For some reason I originally wrote 'OCC chart' instead of the first instance of 'OCC site', so have now corrected it.

If anybody is unsure what Melody Charts is then it's my online chart database accessible here. https://melodychartsonline.co.uk

I am constantly updating the charts and while what you can see does depend on your subscription, their is a Statistics section which allows searchers through the at a for 'odd stuff' and I do try and add things into. For example, I've tried. to add in a search for doing something similar to this to help with data mining. It does not replace the thread here, but does try and allow the user to look around and see some of the more interesting stats. And if there is a statistic you want, I can always try and figure out a way of adding it into the database.

And Dan I am pleased you like the website - I do not want annoying ads and dislike those - I also wonder how much money they actually generate anyway.... My website is a hobby, but I don have to have a subscription model to keep it running and updated. Plus, if enough subscribe I can finally give up my day job and do this full time! :D

Ella Langley's Choosin' Texas drops to #14 whilst getting a ninth week on this list.

Ella Langley's Choosin' Texas gets a tenth week on the list at # [checks the new chart for Ella's position - then comedically spits out tea]
.... OK scrub that then, and also scrub nine of the last ten weeks of this thread. Many congratulations to Ella for finally ending her long wait in the 11-20 portion of the chart and getting the top ten position that the track deserved. This means it's all change on this list. Katseye and Gracie Abrams each have a track that now retrospectively joins the list for a week apiece, Pinky Up and Hit The Wall respectively. Sabrina Carpenter's House Tour and Noah Kahan's Doors also gain a week each. The biggest winners though from the Ella Langley scrub out are Prospa & Cloonee whose Free Your Mind goes from zero weeks on the list to six in one fell swoop, as well as climbing to a new peak of #12 this week. Are they going to break the top ten next week and necessitate another mass recalculation of the list?

It's already updated in the usual spot further up this thread, but as so much has changed this week here is the affected portion of the list in full:
23/04/2026 #14 Katseye Pinky Up 14
30/04/2026 #21 Sabrina Carpenter House Tour 17
07/05/2026 #12 Noah Kahan Doors 12
14/05/2026 #18 Noah Kahan Doors 12
21/05/2026 #20 Prospa & Cloonee Free Your Mind 12
28/05/2026 #18 Gracie Abrams Hit The Wall 18
04/06/2026 #17 Prospa & Cloonee Free Your Mind 12
11/06/2026 #18 Prospa & Cloonee Free Your Mind 12
18/06/2026 #17 Prospa & Cloonee Free Your Mind 12
25/06/2026 #18 Prospa & Cloonee Free Your Mind 12
02/07/2026 #12 Prospa & Cloonee Free Your Mind 12

yea get ready lol free your mind is coming for the top 10 😭. but i think its

21st May: Malcolm Todd - Earrings (Peak rn is 17, position 21), this one is another one that could get top 10 but lets hope not

4th June: Fleetwood Mac - Dreams (peak/position 18)

11th June is Earrings again, positioned at 19, as will be the 18th June and also the 25th

2nd July: Silva Bumpa - On 2nite (peak/position 14), this one will most likely be top 10 in the following weeks too

Mind blown 🤯!

From a quick search, I don’t think Fleetwood Mac have ever been number 1 in this chart!

Shockingly, prior to this year, ‘Dreams’ was their only track to peak between 11 and 30 - and they had never previously had a song peaking between 11 and 20.

This year, they have achieved that twice, with ‘Landslide’ and ‘Dreams’.

Great effort! What jumps out to me is I focused on my "coming of age" years when I was in my early teens to mid 20s from the late 1980s to about 1999. and how familiar I was with practically every highest hit you listed each week that never made the top 10. They all seemed like huge and very familiar hits at the time that I believe the general public would also have recognised(even if they weren'tsongs I was a fan of). The familiarity tapered off from about 2000...probably as my interest in "current" hits diminished.

I wonder are what would be considered Gen Z listeners today as familiar with such hits of today that never make the top 20? Are those songs as ubiquitous to them as your listed ones were to my generation? I suppose each generation has their own "golden era"....
