If the record company had NOT decided to Delete CRAZY.

Do you think that it would have overtaken Bryan Adams record of 16 consecutive weeks at #1 from 1991 with Everything I Do???

 

If it's still number 1 this week it will equal that of Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You in 1992. The last time a single spent 10 weeks at #1.

 

The only other single to spend exactly 10 weeks at #1 was David Whitfield - Cara Mia in 1954.

No, as its sales were declining each week.

might have made 12...but not 17

Nope, the decline in sales would've meant it fell after around 11-12 weeks. Especially with all the World Cup songs coming out now.

Absolutely not, might of made 11 or 12 but no more than that imo.

No way, it was already well below the number of sales normally needed to make number one.

I think if it was #1 this week it would be its final week on top. Could've scraped an extra couple of weeks if it wasnt for all the world cup $h!t.

Erm, no it was about average or even up, I hasnt dipped below 35k, which is slightly above the average nowadays.

 

I would say 11 weeks max without deletion!

35k is c**p, even this time last year a #1 averaged about 50k I'm sure of it. Once it dipped below 45k it was on borrowed time IMO -_-

35-40k is a good average, if a number 1 sells more than 35k, its pretty good for these days in my book. I agree that Gnarls was on the way out after it dipped below 45k, but im sure it could of managed another week or 2 if not deleted. ^_^

I'm not disputing that, I think it would've made up to about 11 weeks. Still, the sales are very low for this time of year and I would've expected them to pick up by now.

I agree with your point, sales should be picking up, but they just arent :cry:

I know :cry: The download revolution was supposed to make sales increase <_<

I think it would have stopped at 9 weeks or 10...11 at a very long stretch...no longer than that.

Spot on.

not a chance in a billion

how much has it sold alltogether?

10 or 11 weeks max i would of said.

how much has it sold alltogether?

Around 650,000

I know :cry: The download revolution was supposed to make sales increase <_<

As someone else pointed out before, with physicals, there are a hundred or more to choose from at a given time, but with downloads, well, it must run into the tens or hundreds of thousands to choose from, possibly even more. So I think sales are healthy, it's just that it is being spread out across a far larger field. For example, I recently noticed Bohemian Rhapsody lurking in the download top 50 chart.
