8 weeks top 10 for Domino, and I still think it could easily do another 2 which would equal that of Price Tag

The start of Born To Die is sort of like Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart

Rolling In The Deep :wub: This song is by far my favourite song ever; it refuses to sound old, even after over 500 plays on iTunes

I like Coldplay's album, but somehow all of the singles seem to sound much worse as singles. CB used to be one of my favourites from Mylo Xyloto, but I've completely gone off it after it has been promoted; the same has happened with all of their singles of this era.

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.

That Who You Are never made number 1 was criminal. It's hardly ground-breaking, but has held up more than longing enough to prove it's worth.

This is my probably my favourite song of the year so far.

Starships is epic. Easily her best since Super Bass.

There's a definite resemblance between Whitney and Rihanna in this video. Probably my favourite Whitney track

I think she's performing with Coldplay, but they may do a repeat of the Grammys and do a We Found Love / Princess Of China / Paradise mash-up type thing.

Emeli :wub: Hoping Read All About It Part 3 is coming up, although it's looking ever more unlikely.

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: ?

Didn't Pink's Perfect peak at #10/09?

If I remember correctly, didn't Baker Street enter the iTunes top 40 after the death of its singer (whose names eludes me)?
