With Daft Punk still riding high at the number 1 position on UK Itunes after about 3 and a half weeks weeks, it got me wondering who holds the records for longest continuous reign at number 1 on itunes....any ideas?

Do you think theres a chance now she's with Roc Nation that Kylie could vet a radio deal with her lead single or is sbe just not big enough in the Us?

Just noticed in the top 20 4 artists have 2 songs, Bruno Mars, Rihanna, Justin and Mackelmore & Ryan Lewis.

Not sure if this is sarcasm or not but if not, its the official music video accounts for artists music videos, either through their own site or through Youtube. http://www.vevo.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vevo

The original thread was done in January 2012, before they had really released anything. And alot of the artist such as Alexandra Burke and Pixie Lott were a lot bigger then, its hard to believe now but before the flop of her 2nd era Alexandra Burke was pretty successful.

Around 15 months ago (January 2012) I did a thread listing the top UK artists Vevo counts, I did this because I think it gives a good idea of who is doing well around the world and below I have printed the original list alongside todays figures and it is interesting to see how some artist have leap-frogged up the list and others who haven't.... January 2012/April 2013 1. Adele - 444 million/1. One Direction - 1.4 billion (+1.3 billion!!) ^9 places 2. Jessie J - 378 million/2. Adele - 1.08 billion (+600 million) 3. Taio Cruz - 353 million/3.

Just noticed Olly Murs at 79 with Dance with me tonight!

Singles: The Saturdays - What About Us The Saturdays - 30 Days 911 - A Little Bit More B*witched - Rollercoaster (Im making a Big reunion playlist!) Fallout Boy - My Songs Know What You Did in the dark Albums: Justin Timberlake - The 20/20 Experience

I think the reason why its climbing so much since last night is partly due to repeats but i think a lot of it is viral, people are sharing the video on facebook and talking about it on forums like this. I got a text off my friend last night about it lol

I have a feeling Bruno Mars will sneak in just before and steal the number 1 position...

For the song that is currently number 1 to have sold over 4.5million already is pretty amazing.

The whole radio play thing in the US seems so unfair...someone like Olly Murs has taken about 3 months to get to 40m and Demi Lovato can get there in a bout a week! It just seems unfair that people are obviously buying certain songs as they're doing well on itunes and yet the radio stations still decide not to play them and then they're obviously not hits. Oh well rant over.

Hopefully With Ur Love will be a bigger hit than Oath for Cher Lloyd.

I finally got round to buying Delta Goodrem's Child of the Universe this. Gonna have my first listen to it today, fingers crossed it lives up to her previous albums.

I really think it was the quality of the song! I very rarely bought singles at that point but I bought it, infact if I remember correctly it was the first single (bar Kylie which I collect) I had bought in at least 6 months/a year, it was my 1st Atomic Kitten Single (well only actually) and I remember a few of my friends buying it. I remember being shocked when it hit number 1 but it just had a life of its own. Much like Believe by Cher actually, who thought at that time that she'd ever have another number 1? I remember hearing it for the first time on the National Lottery and saying there and then that I was gonna buy it. I couldn't get it anywhere though as it was sold out EVERYWHERE, thats when I knew it was gonna be really big.

Ooh 3 of the top 4 albums are British and 5 of the top 10, not bad at all, especially when you compare it to 10 years ago or so.

Firstly I dont think you can call 1D a flash in the pan, they've had 2 top 10 hits and 2 top 40 hits as well as two 1.5 million sellings albums, yeah their success is not gonna last forever but they're a boyband, their success always fades eventually. The Wanted on the other hand have only really had 1 hit single and a very small selling album (less than 100k). And even mentioning Adele in the same breath as Olly Murs or The Wanted is ridiculous, no one has sold as many albums in the past 10 years, including any of the US megastars, Im not saying her next era is 100% guarenteed but she'd really have to release a load of drivvle for it not to sell after the biggest era of the past 10 years. I do agree a bit on the Olly Murs 'flash in the pan' thought, yes it looks like Troublemaker is gonna be a top 10 hit eventually in the US but what will he follow it up with? His next best single was 'Heart Skips a Beat' which has already been and gone in the US, I cant really see any of his other hits being big in the US. I have a feeling Little Mix will be quite big in the US, maybe not quite 1D big but have a few decent sized hits and a hit album at least.

Im so shocked at this, I honestly thought I would have had about half of them but when I went through the list these are the only ones I actually bought the CD single or downloaded. 13 Aqua - Barbie Girl (1997) 1,790,000 16 Cher- Believe (1998) 1,740,000 43 Maroon 5 ft Christina Aguliera - Moves Like Jagger (2011) 1,375,000 [2] (05.01.13) 70 Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe (2012) 1,143,000* (14.01.13) 76 Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out Of My Head (2001) 1,150,000 89 Jessie J ft. B.o.B - Price Tag (2011) 1,110,000 91 Shayne Ward - That's My Goal (2005) 1,103,351* (14.01.13) 116 The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale Of New York (1987/2005) 1,012,662 [2] (05.01.13) 127 David Guetta feat. Sia - Titanium (2011/2012) 1,000,537^ (11.02.13) However there was at least 50 that I had on album, kinda shows that Ive always been more of an albums guy rather than a single guy. Oh and I also had quite a few that were illegally downloaded oops.

Oi! I'm from Kirkcaldy lol

If you look closer at that years top 10 selling singles the top 4 sellers were all one hit wonders, 5 of the top 6 were (almost) one hit wonders (Michelle McManus had a minor top 20 hit) and 6 of the top 10 were one hit wonders. Actually 8 of the top 12 were one hit wonders! 1 Do They Know It's Christmas - Band Aid 20- 1,094,000 2 F**k It (I Don't Want You Back) - Eamon - 552,407 3 Cha Cha Slide - DJ Casper - 351,421 4 Call on Me - Eric Prydz - 335,000 5 Yeah - Usher - 300,000 6 All This Time - Michelle McManus -292,000 (ish) 7 Left Outside Alone - Anastacia - 275,000 8 Mysterious Girl - Peter André - 261,000 9 Toxic - Britney Spears - 260,000 10 f*** You Right Back - Frankee - 246,000 11 I Don't Wanna Know - Mario Winans - 242,000 12 Baby Cakes - 3 of a Kind - 230,000 EDIT: Just remember Eric Prydz isn't a one hit wonder (well he kind of is in the sense that thats his only song most people remember.

Yeah Blackbox had 3 top 10 hits and 6 top 40 hitsand Jive Bunny had 3 number 1 singles.

Is there any particular reason why Dizzee Rascal is suddenly top ten? Its been out for like 2 weeks now.

Thats what I was thinking but I listen to my ipod in my car all the time and usually take it on my holidays so Im still not sure

Can I ask a bit of advice? Whats the big difference between the £4.99 subscription and the £9.99 subscription? I thought it was being able to download but everything I've clicked on comes up with the message "we're currently not supporting new download purchases on Spotify"...
