8 Weeks: MUSE - Supermassive Black Hole [2006] SAM SPARRO - Black and Gold [2008] 7 Weeks: SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA feat. JOHN MARTIN - Don't You Worry Child [2012] 6 Weeks: CALVIN HARRIS - I'm Not Alone [2009] EXAMPLE - Changed The Way You Kiss Me [2011] FLO RIDA - Good Feeling [2011] 5 Weeks: BLOC PARTY - Flux [2007] GIRLS ALOUD - Call The Shots [2007-08] (back to back with Bloc Party) METALLICA - The Day That Never Comes [2008] LADY GAGA feat. BEYONCE - Telephone [2010] PENDULUM - Watercolour [2010] TINIE TEMPAH feat. LABRINTH - Frisky [2010] CALVIN HARRIS feat. NE-YO - Let's Go [2012] AVICII - Wake Me Up! [2013] Plus many, many four weekers. One week on top is pretty unusual now, especially compared to the early days of my chart. Though having said that I'm currently on the longest run of one-weekers since 2008 so... Interestingly, my best songs of the years 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011 all only had four weeks or less at number one.

You're right to say they both would have had much more longevity, but both were out when sales for the top ten were atrocious (though worse was to come). I think the week Wayne Wonder got to #3 it was his lowest sales to that point on around 14k!

Don't have any chart runs for these but from memory: JAMES BLUNT #25 Wisemen #2 You're Beautiful #19 High #2 Goodbye My Lover #9 Wisemen (re-entry) #3 1973 #52 Same Mistake #21 Carry You Home #32 Stay The Night #38 Bonfire Heart

LADYHAWKE: #27 Paris Is Burning #44 Dusk Till Dawn #4 Embrace (PNAU feat. Ladyhawke) - (27-13-6-4-7-10-11-11-11-11-10-12-16-28-20-21-24-etc) One of the oddest runs in my chart history. Hung around forever and was my #8 of 2008! The big drop in the middle was due to Christmas. #3 My Delirium - (27-16-9-7-3-6-9-14-etc) Was at #7 in my Xmas 2008 chart! #20 Back Of The Van #41 Black, White & Blue

Biggest climbers to #1 13-1 Labrinth feat. Tinie Tempah - Earthquake (went 36-13-1-) 9-1 Flo Rida - Good Feeling (on its second week) These were back to back #1s (seperated by three weeks) funnily enough. No other song has done better than 7-1 in over 8 years. Tracks no longer enter at #1 either, the last one being Arctic Monkeys - Brianstorm in April 2007!

I tend to avoid big drops, especially in the higher positions. Possibly partly down to me liking songs for longer than some (though this seems to be getting less at time goes on) and because I would hate my chart to have runs like 7-1-4-1-7-16-8-etc... I have some archive data sadly lost, but I remember most important events in my chart anyway. Biggest falls from: #1 (1-6) Editors - All Sparks This spent two weeks at #1 In March/April 2006, but in one week there were 8 new songs in my top ten, of which 6 were new entries at #1 (Red Hot Chili Peppers), #2 (The Raconteurs), (#4 (Arctic Monkeys). #5 (Dirty Pretty Things), #7 (Snow Patrol) and #9 (The Ordinary Boys). This suffered greatly but was still top 80 at the end of the year and was a worthy number one. I've only ever had one more drop worse than 1-4 and that was My Chemical Romance - Welcome To The Black Parade falling 1-5 on a strong week after three weeks at #1 and getting 9 in the top ten in total (14-5-1-1-2-1-5-6-9-10-etc). #2 (2-9) Eric Prydz vs. Floyd - Proper Education Previous run was (9-3-2-2-) before the big fall. It was just after Xmas 2006 and there was a large influx of newer tracks which gave it a slightly artificial fall. It kept fairly steady after that (9-15-20-23-30-37-etc). #3 (3-11) Maximo Park - I Want You To Stay/Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire Maximo Park were my first climber to #1 after debuting outside the top ten and were unlucky to catch the same week as Editors. Take those new tracks away and it didn't move! KOL were also unfortunate, as it was on its 7th week by then (14-5-2-1-1-3-11-) and remained stable afterwards. But FIVE of my year end top 20 including four of the top ten overtook it the same week (Lady Gaga feat. Colby O'Donis - Just Dance, Britney Spears - Womanizer, The Killers - Human, PNAU feat. Ladyhawke - Embrace and Guru Josh Project - Infinity 2008). #4 (4-18) Goldfrapp - Ride a White Horse No excuses for this one. The first to enter at #1 in my still very new chart and it went (1-4-4-18) before spending a further 6 weeks top 40 and validating my decision to make it a big hit. Probably not a #1 though. #5 (5-20) The Rakes - All Too Human Fair enough. This was very overcharted. It went (3-5-20-31-40-) which to this day remains the least weeks for a top 3 and top 5 hit and joint for a top 10 (outside Christmas), tying with Captain - Keep An Open Mind and Dan Black feat. Kid Cudi - Symphonies which both peaked at #10. It was probably deserving of a top 15 slot but no more. #6 (6-18) The Feeling - Love It When You Call This is the opposite reason to the last two, a track which was doing well (3-3-3-6-) until I dropped it massively. I still liked it though and it went back up to 16 the next week and held onto the top 40 for 7 more weeks! A rare example of me being daft with my chart. #7 (7-23) Biffy Clyro - Many of Horror This was a post Matt Cardle X-Factor final and Xmas chart headrush placing. It had already done 7 weeks top ten earlier in the year peaking at #2 before interest was reignited by Cardle covering it as his winning single. It dropped again at a rate just less than the Christmas songs but still finished top 30 for the year. Funnily enough, Cardle's cover peaked at #14 and had a healthy 8 weeks top 40 itself! #8 (8-20) Muse - Knights of Cydonia Hmm, i'm very surprised. They're my favourite artist/band but I can't find a bigger faller than this! Not even slightly a flop, its chart run was (1-1-1-2-2-2-2-6-8-20-) to this point and then stayed top 40 for 7 more weeks and was top 100 for half a year. It was my #6 of 2006! This was just a post Xmas aberration with lots of new music around. #9 (9-24) Malcolm Middleton - We're All Going To Die Another Christmas chart dropper. Spent 4 weeks top ten over Christmas as the 'alternative' Xmas anthem, two years before RATM. It was a good track and I liked it lots but after the Xmas feeling washed away so did this track. Just gave it a listen just now and I'm pleased it peaked at #3. Also part of my most Scottish top ten ever, as it also included Amy MacDonald and Runrig! :D #10 (10-35) The Pogues feat. Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York I guess I don't need to tell you why this one fell. :D I don't chart old Christmas songs now, unless there's a specific reason to. The was top ten Xmas week in 2005, 2006 and 2007, reaching #3, #10 and #7 respectively.

I only mention this because I know you're a perfectionist Bré, but doesn't 'Wild For The Night' also feature Birdy Nam Nam?

The more I hear 'Crying For No Reason' and especially after seeing the flawless performance on Graham Norton, I get the distinct impression it's going to be around for a while.

I know it probably doesn't qualify, but Calvin Harris 'I'm Not Alone' was heavily trance influenced. Regardless I agree the chart needs more trance hits! I was sadly a little too young for the zenith of the late 90s and early 00s.

Kworb just updated: 1. Clean Bandit - 1.0000 2. Pharrell - 0.8425 3. Pitbull - 0.4900 4. The Vamps - 0.2924 5. Avicii - 0.2561 6. Neon Jungle - 0.2543 7. Jason Derulo - 0.2482 8. Fuse ODG - 0.2025 9. Matrix & Futurebound - 0.1479 10. Ellie Goulding - 0.1410 All The Vamps pop bars add up to 0.4533.

I'm surprised but it took me a little while to think of what albums were yet to come! I'm really out of the loop with albums at the moment. :o I believe they are: Great thread. :D

If Pharrell and Pitbull weren't so far ahead of everyone else, Elyar would have definitely been this years Cover Drive.

Muse's 'Unintended' is one of my favourite tracks by them, and sounds almost ready made to be covered on X Factor and the like. Quite surprised it hasn't already!

I get you now, brain's on a slow day :lol:

Perhaps, if ODLT hadn't re-peaked at #4 last year! :P

Not entirely relevant to the iTunes thread, but Icona Pop is now on UK Spotify, and I certainly don't remember it being there before today (I search for it pretty much daily just in case). Maybe a full release is imminent...?

I was wrong, it was after New Years when she performed on Hootenanny. http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=105269

You've Got The Love made #1 briefly after Xmas 2009 after being performed on TOTP I think. It was then bumped down quite quickly by Iyaz, Sidney Samson and Bad Romance IIRC.

That's what I mean. They could have made this decision yesterday and not lost 40 more hours of sales. At least they've not left it too late I suppose. :D

Monday evening does seem a strange time to decide to release. Surely it was obvious there was enough pent-up demand for a Sunday release?

Ladies and Gentlemen, fun. has finally been released.
