I keep hoping Band Aid 2 gets played at Christmas time rather than the other versions. I imagine it'll be back to the original next year though!

They are 1 of many with multiple entries in the Top 50. Eclipsed by Sam Smith & Ed Sheeran with 3 each no doubt

#Controversial :wacko:

I'm not a fan of animated movies and the like but I watched Frozen recently and just LOVED it

I think Ed might still have grabbed the #1 that week

And it's also announced before the final sales week of the 2014 chart year

Seems to be really picking up now. #13 on itunes and steadily increasing. Once people lay off buying the big hits of 2014, it'll surely finally crack the Top 10

Now that would've been unpleasant Thankful for small mercies

Love LNFSG! Reminds me of good times on holiday but it has to be the version with Justin

Because more people used their purchase button on their iTunes accounts Sorry - couldn't resist ^ Beaten to it :(

I'll second that. Great tune, excellent video and Adam Levine is just sublime :heart:

I guess I keep discounting Dvbbs as it seems so long ago :) Tht would make the only #1 failers to be.... Gareth Malone's All Star Choir 'Wake Me Up' Cheryl 'I Don't Care'

Yeah, I don't imagine it is here. Gareth Malone 'Wake Me Up' Cheryl 'I Don't Care' Secondcity 'I Wanna Feel' DVBBS 'Tsunami'

Agreed -love it! :cheer:

There couldn't be too many of this year's #1's missing if Rixton managed the Top 100. The Gareth Malone All Star Choir 'Wake Me Up' Cheryl 'I Don't Care' DVBBS & Borgeous feat. Tinie Tempah 'Tsunami (Jump)??

I was referring to actual #1 singles that lost their #1 status in this thread due to huge #1 singles on either side. Example: Naught Boy feat Sam Smith

It's a minor role - but one that is important to the story apparently

Incidentally, I'm curious as to how much 'Into The Blue has sold in total. It's total sales (now that 2014 streaming sales are included) must be something similar to Santa Baby

150. Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud 140. Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk 130. Mr Probz – Waves 120. Sam Smith - Stay With Me 110. Ella Henderson - Ghost 100. Lilly Wood & Robin Schulz - Prayer In C 90. Clean Bandit feat. Jess Glynne - Rather Be 80. Take That - These Days 70. Route 94 feat. Jess Glynne - My Love 60. Aloe Blacc - The Man 50. Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass 40. Calvin Harris feat. John Newman – Blame 30. Ariana Grande feat. Iggy Azalea – Problem 20. Sigma feat. Paloma Faith – Changing 10. Kiesza - Hideaway -10. Gareth Malone's All Star Choir - Wake Me Up

I've been catching up with this thread over the last couple of days and found it fascinating. It does indeed whittle out a lot of the flash-in-the-pan #1's very successfully. The only flaw with the 3-week-basis for calculation seems to be that some pretty successful tracks get lost between huge selling #1's on either side of them. I imagine a '2-week sales' calculation might help these sorts of tracks whilst still weeding out the obvious non-number-ones No surprises that the likes of McFly, Westlife and other fan-led singles are the biggests losers by this calculation.

Into The Blue was a Top 10 in Scotland though! It reached #10 - maybe that's why it was performed there (just like every other date :dance: )

No Top 100 position for 'Santa Baby' this week either :angry: Wonder what position it did manage?

It's a pity 'Kiss Me Once Under The Mistletoe' didn't get the release it so richly deserved

Hope to see a bit of a climb and crack the Top 100 this year

*BEST* George Ezra - Budapest Aloe Blacc - The Man Klingande – Jubel Maroon 5 – Maps Route 94 feat. Jess Glynne - My Love Duke Dumont - I Got U Ariana Grande feat. Zedd – Break Free Calvin Harris - Summer Oliver Heldens & Becky Hill - Gecko Professor Green feat. Tori Kelly – Lullaby *WORST*
