It seems come Sunday I will have to add Mint Royale to the list, I can't find the old thread, but I thought I post again for new members as well.

 

Any additions that should be in there just post in the topic.

At the moment, not only is the chart slow, but the number 1's debut high and don't climb far, there hasn't actually been a slow climb to number 1 since Timbaland- The Way I Are

Madonna was quite slow in getting the number 1 with 4 minutes...

Surely 4 minutes is a rather speedy climb to #1 :lol:

Tbh, I've only ever listened to the first 2 minutes of that song once and then switched off. Not my cuppa tea.

Yeah but it debuted inside the top 10, but yes it was fairly slow

Thanks for putting these up, they are very interesting.
