Wow! Go KT!! :)

KT Tunstall 26 weeks :o I had no idea the song was around for that long

Wow! Go KT!! :)

however i think the continuing popularity of this record on the radio will hinder the success of her new record as stations will still be playing the old rather than the new.

hasnt new order got more than a year on the chart with blue monday now. it was in the chart last week

new orders blue monday, had already spent over a year on the chart (53 weeks), spread over 4 chart runs.

new orders blue monday, had already spent over a year on the chart (53 weeks), spread over 4 chart runs.

so thats 54 weeks over 5 chart runs

thats a lot

 

is it likely to come back in the chart?
