Up the toon on Radio 1 is NOT what I wanted to hear, Shakira should've got it etc

Up the NORF. Longest running UK Number 1 and Prime Minister within 2 weeks. We truly are a POWERHOUSE

Just noticed Jack never spun the wheel for another no. 1 if people didn't like the contenders.

Being a Geordie I probably hear Sam Fender more than what the average person does (not that he’s unavoidable here) but pubs here will often play him And he’s probably bigger here than anywhere else in the UK!

I still feel like Seventeen Going Under feels like his signature song but I can see why this has done so well (props to him and Olivia!!). Hopefully now ACR does loom but with the press this will get maybe it’ll get another boost incoming?!

On another note I out of curiosity just played the previous record holder I Believe (it’s a song I actually was aware of but just never knew the artist 😆 and didn’t realise it was that song.

Up the toon, their manager resigned yesterday.

I guess it's easy to do in the streaming era not so easy in the sales era

Surely if it was easier it would have happened multiple times since the introduction of streaming into the charts over a decade ago?

The streaming era has been going on for a while now and it's only just happened now so it's hardly 'easy'... (especially with ACR which any song that wanted to have a shot at the record would necessarily need to swerve multiple times after already being #1 for months)

You can be unhappy with the #1 without throwing baseless accusations out.

I wasn’t trust the official chart far can though them need stop estimating malarkey Thursday streams

If it's taken into consideration that history has been made in the UK, could Sam's US label (I'm looking at you, Capitol/ICLG) do something to promote the track there now?

The South would love Rein me in

Has Rein Me In reset the SCR count?

If the Wets hadn't deleted the single they may have done it. Was still selling strongly.

Not as strongly as Whigfield

Ecstatic to see RMI make a record breaking 19th week, finally the longest running number 1 is a song by two fantastic UK acts!

Shame the song is not quite the sum of its parts.

This week's full top 100 isn't even showing. It's usually showing at 5:45pm.

No stewards enquiry needed or VAR. The tactics worked.

No it wouldn't, it was selling about 60k by the time Whigfield came around.

They deleted it as a marketing gimmick to try and match Bryan Adams, as they knew 'Saturday Night' was coming and that boosted it up to 104k that week (which was about 40k behind Whiggy)

Looks like the #1 record isn’t the only thing Rein Me In broke..

You won, Sam. Enjoy the money, I hope it makes you happy. Dear lord, what a sad little life, Sam. You ruined my night completely so you could have the number one and I hope now you can spend it on lessons in grace and decorum. Because you have all the grace of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on. So Sam, take your money and get off my property.

Its kind of ironic that he was made into a meme and a bully from this when it was actually the woman's narcissistic behaviour that led to this but noone remember that 😢

He really was the victim in all of it

Think i saw mariah and Whitney were tied on 14 weeks for a single song on billboard

Mariah's collaboration with Boyz II men on One Sweet Day was 16 weeks. Ella has just passed both Whitney and Mariah's solo efforts of 14 weeks each with the longest female solo reign in USA with Choosin' Texas at 15 weeks...and counting
