Kid Rock - All Summer Long has spent the longest at #2 for me, ever. It was #2 for five weeks, four behind Dizzee Rascal and one behind The Ting Tings and was my ninth placed song of 2008. It had the following chart run: 16-6-3-2-2-2-2-2-4-9-16-24-31-39-49-63-75-88-98-> 19 Weeks However, the song that peaked at #2 and finished highest on my end of year chart is, inevitably, Chasing Cars, my longest charting track ever. It went like this: 4-2-4-6-3-2-4-5-10-9-10-11-16-23-25-26-27-31-33-39-39-43-41-41-47-51-52-58-57-62-70-72-68-66-75-79-83-88-92-96-100-94-99-> 43 Weeks

Rated in order of genuine popularity, as opposed to personal opinion. 7 LOVE THE WAY YOU LIE - Eminem featuring Rihanna 6 ROCKSTAR - Nickelback 5 FOUNDATIONS - Kate Nash 4 BETTER IN TIME/FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND - Leona Lewis 3 AYO TECHNOLOGY - 50 Cent featuring Justin Timberlake 2 YOUR LOVE ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH - Manic Street Preachers 1 NO U HANG UP/IF THAT'S OK WITH YOU - Shayne Ward

Ke$ha was #1 for two weeks in the end. #14 Jessie J feat. B.o.B - Price Tag #80 Nicole Scherzinger - Don't Hold Your Breath Jessie J will make the top ten, Nicole is on her first week, and will rise significantly. I've yet to chart Adele!

I can remember two specifically that did much better. The Automatic - Raoul #1 in Jan 2007, made #9 when I first charted it in Feb 2006. Panic! At The Disco - I Write Sins Not Tragedies #9 in Nov 2006, originally peaked at #19 in Mar 2006.

#29 Matt Cardle - When We Collide [#14 in 2010] #4 Rihanna feat. Drake - What's My Name? [#2 in 2010] #28 Bruno Mars - Grenade #1 Ke$ha - We R Who We R Price Tag has yet to enter, but will do so.

ADELE: #32 Chasing Pavements #39 Cold Shoulder #22 Hometown Glory #49 Make You Feel My Love #48 Make You Feel My Love [Re-Entry] #11 Rolling In The Deep

TINIE TEMPAH: #3 Pass Out #1 Frisky (feat. Labrinth) #1 Written In The Stars (feat. Eric Turner) #1 Miami 2 Ibiza (with Swedish House Mafia) #3 Game Over (with Tinchy Stryder, Giggs, Professor Green, Devlin, Example & Chipmunk) #10 Invincible (feat. Kelly Rowland) #9 Eyes Wide Shut [also JLS' highest charting track] #1 Wonderman (feat. Ellie Goulding) All within 12 months too, impressive!

I thought it would be YMAS highest charting song so far, but never thought of it as a top ten song. It is similar to Airplanes and Written In The Stars I guess, but the riff is much heavier. It seems guitar driven soaring choruses are in at the moment!

Looking increasingly like it's going to be a first top ten single for both You Me At Six and Chiddy Bang!

Thing is, The E.N.D. was only on about 300k by the time Meet Me Halfway was getting exposure, and was seen as a relative flop at the time. It was only due to the success of that single and due to it being the festive period that it made 1m at all. And that was six months after The E.N.D. was released.

Grenade has also had two months of airplay, videoplay, marketing and was released prior to a hyped debut album and quickly following up a mega smash hit single.

...aaaaaaand back again. still at #19. No other movers at the top though Manran are on the rise to #46.

Traktor to #7 Coming Home to #10 Britney appears to have gone again.

That Manran song is an attempt to get a Gaelic song into the Top 40 for the first time on downloads. I've had a listen, it's actually quite good! It's up to #64 aswell and Britney's disappeared from my iTunes....

Traktor up to #8 Like U Like down to #9 Coming Home up to #13 Now Or Never up to #16 Hold It Against Me up to #19 Adele still at #2 Edit: And already out of date :D

We have a Canadian too if we also count featured artists

N-DUBZ: #98 You Better Not Waste My Time DNC I Swear DNC Feva Las Vegas DNC Ouch DNC Papa Can You Hear Me? #25 Strong Again #4 Number 1 #100 Wouldn't You #7 I Need You #8 Playing With Fire #43 Say It's Over #16 We Dance On #50 Best Behaviour #98 Girls Hmm, very varied. Should probably have charted Papa..., but I really really hated N-Dubz at the time. Girls has just charted, but will probably drop out after one week.

BLOC PARTY: #15 The Pioneers #5 Two More Years #2 The Prayer #6 I Still Remember #8 Hunting For Witches #1 Flux #10 Mercury #22 Talons #2 One Month Off #27 Signs #5 One More Chance Looking back, Helicopter, Banquet and So Here We Are would all have been top ten hits too. Nothing really to change here, they all made around what they deserved. Would probably make Hunting For Witches and Two More Years bigger hits now though. Try as I might as just didn't like Talons as much as everyone else seemed to, a shame. Flux was my #5 of 2007.

ARCTIC MONKEYS: #1 I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor #1 When The Sun Goes Down #4 The View From The Afternoon #5 Leave Before The Lights Come On #1 Brianstorm #9 Fluorescent Adolescent #7 Teddy Picker #11 Crying Lightning #29 Cornerstone #14 My Propeller Oh dear, their third album was such a disappointment. I got into it eventually, but it's just not as good as the first two. Nothing to quibble about now looking back, though My Propeller probably should just have scraped top ten, considering how it grew. It's certainly on a par with Fluorescent Adolescent at least.

THE KILLERS: #1 When You Were Young #2 Bones #3 Read My Mind #2 For Reasons Unknown #5 Tranquilize (feat. Lou Reed) #13 Don't Shoot Me Santa #1 Human #16 Joseph, Better You Than Me (feat. Elton John & Neil Tennant) #1 Spaceman #9 The World We Live In #3 A Dustland Fairytale #24 ¡Happy Birthday Guadalupe! #17 Boots I didn't chart their first Christmas song, but it's by far the best. If I did my chart during the Hot Fuss era, then Somebody Told Me would certainly have been #1 and probably Mr. Brightside aswell. All These Things That I've Done and Smile Like You Mean It would also certainly have been top ten hits. Looking back, the only one that sticks out there is Bones. That should have had a low top ten peak, but I was really obsessed with them in late 2006.

2005: Kelly Clarkson - Because of You 2006: Chris Cornell - You Know My Name 2007: Girls Aloud - Call The Shots 2008: Lady Gaga feat. Colby O'Donis - Just Dance 2009: Owl City - Fireflies 2010: Katy Perry - Firework

MIKA: #2 Grace Kelly #9 Love Today #8 Big Girl (You Are Beautiful) #15 Happy Ending #12 Relax, Take It Easy/Lollipop #18 We Are Golden #44 Blame It On The Girls #18 Rain #1 Kick Ass (with RedOne) Yeah it shocked me too. Three years after he was popular he scored a #1, surely his only one, in my chart. Happy Ending is probably my favourite now from his first album, so on reflection it undercharted, though late 2007 was a tough chart time. I definitely undercharted Relax... though, I charted it as a double-a side with Lollipop which is inferior. Maybe that dragged it down. Rain was the best song from his latest album.

KELLY CLARKSON: #3 Since U Been Gone #8 Behind These Hazel Eyes #1 Because of You #4 Walk Away #14 Breakaway #12 Never Again #33 Sober #1 My Life Would Suck Without You #31 I Do Not Hook Up #26 Already Gone I'm shocked how well she's done actually, though I was really into the Breakaway album. Looking back, Since U Been Gone I remember spending ages in my chart, and was my #14 of 2005. Because of You was my Christmas #1 in 2005, but hasn't aged as well as some of the others. Breakaway I undercharted I think, even back then I liked it more than a #14. Never Again would not be that high now, Mid #20's for that really. My Life Would Suck Without You got to #1 on a quiet week, a good track, but one I got over pretty fast. My lowest ranked #1 of 2009 in my end of year charts.
