Does anyone know what Florence is performing tonight? Love her to do Only If For A Night, but she'll probably do Shake It Out or No Light, No Light I would guess.

I can remember Blah Blah Blah was played on TV adverts promoting her album, so maybe this is why it got so high?

Are you sure Blah Blah Blah and Dirtee Cash weren't promoted? Just seem abnormally high peaks considering the songs didn't go on to do very much.

Thankyou, both have been added.

If you can think of any more songs that should belong on this list, post them below and I will add them as soon as possible. For LTWYL and ESOM I used the first week it entered the chart as their initial peaks, because their chart runs sort of merged into one. As is probably evident, my chart knowledge was non-existent prior to 2009 & was shaky until mid-2010, so I have been unable to include anything from that time. Also any missing sales info. would be appreciated. I will try to keep this list up-to-date as and when a song of this sort enters the Top 40, as I expect Emeli Sandé’s Read All About It (Part III) will do today.

Sometimes, after an album has been made available for download, one or two songs from the album will be cherry-picked - following no promo or single release – to enter the top 40 singles chart. Whether because of an interesting collaboration, hype surrounding it, or simply it being exceptional song, these songs often go on to do really well and impact on the year-end top 40. Here is a definitive list of all the songs where this process is applicable, as well as where they initially peaked, where they were eventually to peak and total sales. 2008 October – Kings Of Leon – Use Somebody Initial Peak: #29 Eventual Peak: #02 Total Sales: ?

Downloads Lana Del Rey - Born To Die Nicki Minaj - Stupid Hoe Shows the two extremes of my musical preferences really. I've been waiting for Born To Die to be released since I first heard it on Youtube, and I'd heard Stupid Hoe a few weeks ago and didn't think anything of it, but somehow the video seems to make the song better, if that makes any sense at all :lol:
