Interesting bits about this chart:

 

There were quite a few changes from the midweeks - #34 and #39 were both top 20 in the first set of mids, and #10 wasn't top 20 in the first set of mids.

 

Embrace's 38-3 climb is the biggest entirely within the top 40.

 

3 of the top 5 fell victim to the ultra-retarded deletion rule whilst in the top 25 (Gnarls Barkley would fall out next week) - however all 3 returned to the top 40 at the start of 2007.

 

This was the only week between 8/4/07 and 16/9/07 in which neither Crazy nor Hips Don't Lie was in the top 3.

 

#1, #2, #4, #6, and #7 were all non-movers the following week.

 

#16 was in its 2nd of 4 consecutive weeks at that position (it fell to #17 the week afterwards).

 

#25 was unusually physically released on a Tuesday (6/6/06).

 

#34 was the lowest-charting Michael Jackson re-release (highest was #11).

 

#65 was charting on downloads mad eligible by a previous limited physical release - it was a new entry at #69 (downloads ahead of re-issue) the following week before climbing to #18.

 

The battle for #1 was tight - it changed hands no fewer than 3 times during the course of the week, and there were only 186 copies between the top 2 (both selling over 48k).

 

Maneater was the 2nd of 4 consecutive #1s by female artists (the only time this has ever happened).

 

Finally, one could easily be forgiven for confusing the artists at #13 and #37...

 

PS: the album chart was interesting as well:

 

1 (-) Sandi Thom - Smile ... It Confuses People

2 (-) Feeling - Twelve Stops And Home

3 (-) Ronan Keating - Bring You Home

4 (-) Paul Simon - Surprise

5 (-) Primal Scream - Riot City Blues

Very interesting chart that saw Nelly get her first UK #1 :wub: Funnily enough she wouldn't have been #1 on physicals. :lol:

I agree bbz.

I hate all the wretched football songs though. <_<

 

Very interesting chart. Amazing #1 :heart:

 

Quite a few songs performed below my expectations at the time- expected Streets, Sugababes and Duncan James to chart a lot higher and Mariah Carey to at least scrape the top 20.

edit :wtf:

54 (-) Shakira ft Wyclef Jean - Hips Don't Lie

 

and so it began :wub:

My Nelly at Number 1 :wub:

 

Happy Memories :D

Dixie Chicks. :w00t: If thatsong had had the airplay it rightly deserved and could've got - not just a few plays from Radio 2 - that song could've been so big. -_-

True, didn't it win lots of Grammys last year?

I could be wrong but we don't see that many giant leaps up the chart at the moment.
