Posted July 22, 200915 yr From time to time, we get singles which are number two or three on midweeks, then improves to number one by Sunday. But was there ever a case where a single starts off in a top 10/20 (or lower) position in midweeks then goes to the top on Sunday? Was there ever a surprise like that before? Just wondering.

July 22, 200915 yr I'm sure that if mids existed back then, Elton John's 'Something About The Way You Look Tonight / Candle In The Wind 1997' must have jumped out of nowhere to #1 on 600k+ sales ;)
July 22, 200915 yr If my memory serves me correctly Rihanna started at number 8 in the first set of midweeks on a tuesday with umbrella and ended up number 1 that week

July 23, 200915 yr perhaps we can get 28-1 if Mr Hudson makes it, although that's doubtful imo. Would it really be fair to count it, seeing as it's showing at #28 was an obvious error? I agree though, it won't be #1 either way so I guess it doesn't matter so much.
July 23, 200915 yr Released 13 September 1997, Monday if I recall correctly, so not a surprise as would be #1 in midweeks. Candle in the Wind was actually released on the Saturday after Diana's funeral. I remember searching all over for a copy and not being able to buy it until Monday. Back to the original question, wasn't Mercy quite low down on the first set of mids?
July 24, 200915 yr For a time when physicals counted 100%, Ciara's Goodies was midweek #4 but ended up at #1. Edited July 24, 200915 yr by -Jay-
July 24, 200915 yr Calvin Harris - I'm Not Alone started at 5 if I am not mistaken And Tinchy Stryder featuring N-Dubz - Number 1 started at 3
