I wonder what is the highest potential chart position that a song has ever

been excluded from?

 

I know Gnarls Barkley 'Crazy' was ineligible, despite selling enough for top 10 - and I suspect Snow Patrol 'Chasing Cars' was, too.

The Ting Tings recently would have easily gone Top20

 

UK chart rules are a bit silly to exclude so many singles. Actually who the hell cares about longetivity, number of tracks, etc. If the release is classified as a single, it would have been included!
I think the exclusion rule in this form doesn't exist anymore.
Didn't Gnarls Barkley dissapear off number 1? (but the next week he would have never made number 1 anyway)

Nope. It was number 1 for 9 weeks then slipped to number 2, the week after to number 5 and just after that was it removed from the chart.

Cheers Ben for explaining, and you have a long memory

... and Polyhex... :P

i dont understand why its removed from the chart?

Because the physical single was deleted.

Arctic Monkeys had an EP in 2006 that sold 70k first week but, being an EP, was excluded. It would have been No.1.
what do you mean deleted? deleted from where?

 

 

From stores. In other words, they stop producing CD singles....

The record company deleted from their catalogue. Not available anymore only on downloads.

Crazy by Gnarls got deleted because the Company wanted them to release more stuff and they thought this would stop them ever having another hit again!

 

Wet Wet Wet did it with Love is all around i believe! :unsure:

I don't know about them, but Bryan Adams released another song whilst EIDIDIFY was No1 (it left the chart before the No1 as well!).
