They should just say that an act can’t have any charting single or album. Make it completely for newbies. What did they expect the reaction to be, what a joke!

In a parallel universe, the UK would have won Eurovision 2008 with “Sun Goes Down” - it would have been perfect.

Think I’ve made all necessary corrections now.

I wonder if we’ll get a statement from the OCC as and when Mr Brightside passes 6m.

Denise LaSalle - Don’t Mess with My Toot Toot

They’d be separate acts technically I think.

My money’s on Mariah.

Line up for 21 November - Stick Season - Noah Kahan (32), Nights Like This - Kid Laroi (30), Prada - Casso / Raye / D-Block Europe (29), Labour - Paris Paloma (22), Nice to Meet You - Myles Smith (12), The Door - Teddy Swims (5), Hot to Go - Chappel Roan (4), That’s So True - Gracie Abrams (1)

The Girl is Mine would be passable if it wasn’t for that spoken word outro.

Line up for 14 November - Emptiness Machine - Linkin Park (28), Tipsy - Shaboozey (25), Apple - Charli XCX (24), Beautiful Things - Benson Boone (23), Timeless - The Weeknd - Playboi Carti (21), Wildflower- Billie Eilish (11), Bed Chem - Sabrina Carpenter (8), That’s So True - Gracie Abrams (1)

If Heart and I from Robbie’s Greatest Hits was released as a single it would have scored very high points from me indeed. In fact, if there’s ever a Robbie rate that would be near the top for me.

Peter Sarstedt - Frozen Orange Juice! Edit: Didn’t read the OP!

There are much worse charity singles than Grenfell tbh.

Updated with all the figures I could find from 1980 to date. Any errors, let me know. As far as I can make out, there have been 96 different #1s that have “sold” less than 40,000 in a week - I’m sure we’ll get to 100 very soon.

Best Al Green - Let’s Stay Together Carly Simon - You’re So Vain Neil Young - Heart of Gold Rod Stewart - Maggie May Roberta Flack - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Worst Mac Davis - Baby Don’t Get Hooked on Me Donny Osmond - Go Away Little Girl Three Dog Night - Black and White

If streaming had been included in the charts at the first possible opportunity (Pandora in 2005 was the first legal service I think.), would it have affected any number #1s?

Oh Nik Kershaw / Howard Jones are the same person anyway. Now I’m throwing Nick Heyward into the mix haha

I do indeed, who’s Nik Kershaw? 😆

Nik Kershaw was such a snack!

The Carpenters - We’ve Only Just Begun Marvin Gaye - What’s Going On Elton John - Daniel Elvis Presley - Burning Love

Line up for 7 November - Move - Adam Port / Stryv / Keine Muzik (13), The Door - Teddy Swims (12), Diet Pepsi - Addison Rae (10), Thick of It - KSI / Trippie Redd (8), Disease - Lady Gaga (7), Hot to Go - Chappell Roan (6), Somedays - Sonny Fodera / Jazzy / DoD (5), Sailor Song - Gigi Perez (1)

Thanks, Julian! The OP is definitely a work in progress, so anyone please suggest additions or amendments :)

Changed, not sure how you change the subheading of a thread though? :)

Seven Days and One Week the inspiration for Taylor Swift’s 2024 #1!

I’’m sure I’ve made many mistakes, so please correct me at will! Also, if any anyone can help with pre 2000 sales, feel free :)
