What's the biggest drop a song has taken when being at number one the previous week? ^_^

McFly - Baby's Coming Back/Transylvania

From #1 to #20 at 2007 :lol:

 

Also the 2005 release of One Night/I Got Stung by Elvis Presley. ;)

Same drop. :lol:

lol at mcfly

lol @ that list being full of boybands :rofl:

 

I see, however, that even iconic acts such as The Beatles, Jacko and ABBA haven't escaped that list :o

even u2 ...

The Wayward Wind, and Frank Ifield...never made it to number one on Pick Of The Pops in 1963 it peaked at 2, because the Beatles were indeed the BBC proper number one with "Please Please Me".

Blame It On The Weatherman didn't deserve to suffer this fate :heehee:

 

what I always found more odd was songs that had been No.1 for more than a week suddenly dropping that far down, like the Emma Bunton single for example

Knowing Me Knowing You had been number one for five weeks and Hello Goodbye for seven weeks before their big falls.

Such a laughable record for McFly ^_^
