Posted July 31, 200717 yr I know this is totally OT but whilst bored stiff at work :lol: I checked out some stuff on he OCC website. :o I found the top 5 most downloaded tracks of 2006. 01. Gnarls Barkley - Crazy 400634 02. Scissor Sisters - Dancin 239276 03. Shakira - Hips 230339 04. Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars 200226 05. Nelly Furtado - Maneater 188303 It was the Snow Patrol one I found interesting as the single only sold about 20k more at the year end chart so quite astonishing at how huge its download total was and what a flop the single would'v been without them. :o
July 31, 200717 yr Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars was deleted (around end of October 2006) which meant it wasn't available for physical re-order to shops, so it wasn't in retail shops to buy. It's highest position was #6, it stayed around for ages, entirely on downloads in 2007.
July 31, 200717 yr snow patrol debuted at number 15 on physical and continue climbing i was shocked at how low they were then but i was pleased they made outside top 5 pleased for snow patrol.

July 31, 200717 yr Chasing Cars got boring quickly. Why people are STILL downloading it is completely beyond me.
July 31, 200717 yr Chasing Cars got boring quickly. Why people are STILL downloading it is completely beyond me. Cos it's a GREAT song!!!
August 1, 200717 yr Chasing Cars got boring quickly. Why people are STILL downloading it is completely beyond me. Ditto.
August 1, 200717 yr Chasing Cars got boring quickly. Why people are STILL downloading it is completely beyond me.Because they haven't heard it much. Especially people with jobs, who are perhaps the market that are/where downloading it way after it's released. Cos it's a GREAT song!!!Indeed! :dance:
August 1, 200717 yr Cuz Crazy is a brilliant song. :P Chasing Cars on the other hand... Well, I just think it pales compared to anything on Songs for Polarbears. I never got what was so appealing about it.
August 1, 200717 yr Author Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars was deleted (around end of October 2006) which meant it wasn't available for physical re-order to shops, so it wasn't in retail shops to buy. It's highest position was #6, it stayed around for ages, entirely on downloads in 2007. Yes I do know that dear. But that total is for downloads in 2006 before it was physically deleted so it's still pretty impressive.
August 1, 200717 yr And it's still around the charts 47 weeks later. Will it make the magical 52 weeks (1 year).
