It only got to 9 on the physical chart, it didn't chart officially. Looks like Wikipedia got that wrong!

https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/singles-chart/19870315/7501/ On this week in 1987 there were 3 old songs in the top 10, two of them were already top 10 hits and two of them held the top 2 at the same time in 1987! Old music invading the charts is nothing new, it's the issue of things sticking around too long after obviously peaking that bothers me.

3 of those actually peaking on the charts this year though!

With Sienna climbing at least we're looking good for avoiding another week with no new entries! I Want You Back and Material Lover sharing a position?

Wonder if MJ could be number 2 😲

Absolutely insane how well this is doing, keep climbing!

Wonder if Go has made it into the top 20?

I would be all for a Charli rock transition if the song was actually any good!

Labels naturally want their songs to stay as high as possible so the OCC probably put that rule in place so they don't complain about a song going to ACR as a result of the overall market dropping alongside the song. It's stupid but from a business perspective if you had a number one song you'd want to do everything in your power to bend the rules enough so that your domination can continue!

Has Hit Me Hard And Soft had a new reissue or something? MJ did almost 30k last week so I don't see anything getting past that

The annoying thing about Rein Me In is that any contender that has a chance of knocking it off is so much worse than it! Would rather the all-time record be broken than Dr*ke or Gr*cie overtake it

Loving the BBC Sounds label for Beat It - "Beat It (OCS Ver.) PLS COMPLY" ??? 😆

+5 Billie Jean +4 Beat It +3 Dracula +2 Rein Me In +1 Homewrecker -1 Beauty And A Beat -2 Fever Dream -3 Midnight Sun -4 Lush Life -5 Drop Dead

Zara Larsson bags her 6th number one single with Midnight Sun putting her on the all-time list, while Kneecap get their first number one album

Fair enough 😂

Highlights: Godzilla, Little Lies, Hard Times, Born Slippy, Let Your Love Flow ❤️, Smoke On The Water, Lovesong, All Signs Point To Lauderdale, New York State Of Mind, In The Modern World, Sound Of Madness and Rock And Roll Queen (Forza memories!) on the singles. The kids TV themes that keep getting certified always surprise me, where can you even stream the In The Night Garden theme song?!

Looks like it was week ending 13th May 2006 - exactly 20 years ago! Madonna with Sorry and Michael with Remember The Time

Resets for The One That Got Away and Unwritten at 41 and 42!

Given we haven't heard you it's tough to make a judgement on that!

My friend is seeing Kevin in Manchester tonight, super jealous! The sooner Rein Me In goes away the better, Tame Impala deserves a number one!

Their shows are archived online!

Probably my second favourite top 40 presenter after Mark Goodier!

Ah shame Kneecap couldn't get their moment at the top but the King Of Pop reclaiming his crown is still good. Annoyed Rodrigo stayed ahead of Billie Jean!

Feels right that this has a top 10 peak even if I really don't like this

MJ saving us from Man I Need in the top 10!
