Think this is the last time the gap was less than 100:

11/07/2024

61,495 Sabrina Carpenter - Please Please Please

61,446 Sabrina Carpenter - Espresso

And the last such time when the #2 didn't get to #1:

30/01/2020

52,633 Eminem feat. Juice WRLD - Godzilla

52,540 Roddy Ricch - The Box

A terrible top 2 but at least the latter was blocked because it's easily the worst of the two.

Not sabrina blocking herself by a tiny margin as well iconic 🤣

Some classic Capaldi tactics then from Sam Fender to get the record.

Cant be a capaldi tactic he forgot the cds 🤣

Incorrect x

At least I can still remember how The Box goes. I couldn’t tell you a single thing about that Godzilla mess

A great top 2 and sad the latter was blocked because it's easily the better of the two.

(Eminem should really have been further ahead, he didn't have any video streaming sales because the song was only on YouTube as an auto-generated video at the time which don't count towards the chart for some reason)

Roddy Rich really was huge in 2020 then literally just checked out.

You Needed Me - Boyzone 142,901

Look At Me - Geri Halliwell - 142,153

gap - 748

Ah bit more than I thought then, I just remembered them both being on over 142,000 copies

I guarantee you I may not be recording the chart this week, but I will be listening to it live online.
