I've finally finished this now. The highest placed track each week to have never made the Top 40. If an act or artist has never made the Top 40 with any track then I have added an asterisk next to their name. If the track is a duet or collaboration and all the acts/artists involved have never made the Top 40 with any track then there is a single asterisk at the end of all the artist credits that applies to them all, but if some acts. artists in a collaboration have made the Top 40 at some point then those who haven't have been given a double asterisk that applies only to that act/ artist. Hope that makes sense.

Dai Dai climbs into the top 10 and removes itself from this list to be replace with Sienna Spiro's Material Lover at #15 last week, and the same song also gets this week too at #14.

Wonderwall by Oasis surges to #2 and returns to the list over 30 years after it last had two weeks on it.

Shakira & Burna Boy's Dai Dai climbs to #13 to join this list.

Another week at number 2 and another week on this list for Olivia Rodrigo's Stupid Song.

Olivia Rodrigo's Stupid Song gets a third week at #2 and a third week on this list. Will she make it four?

Sienna Spiro's Material Lover joins the list this week at #14. In addition Free Your Mind gaining Top 10 status has changed 6 of the last seven week's in exactly the way that Jay worked out and posted last week.

Oh gotcha. For some reason I was thinking they had already just achieved that this week, but they have only equalled it at the moment, so they do have that record in a way, but not outright.

Why? It can't equal Bryan's record for consecutive weeks at number one as it's own run at number one is non-consecutive. Or do you just have some personal reason why you want it to be at number one for next week in particular?

I thought subsequent sale were due to shops holding large quantities of stock at that point and continuing to sell it thereafter?

Bryan Adams had the longest number of consecutive weeks at number one, 16 compared to Wet Wet Wet's 15, but Sam and Olivia's 15 weeks are already non-consecutive so Bryan Adams is irrelevant tbh.

I noticed that, but did wonder for a moment if I've been pronouncing her name wrongly for 30+ years lol.

Ella Langley's Choosin' Texas gets a tenth week on the list at # [checks the new chart for Ella's position - then comedically spits out tea] .... OK scrub that then, and also scrub nine of the last ten weeks of this thread. Many congratulations to Ella for finally ending her long wait in the 11-20 portion of the chart and getting the top ten position that the track deserved. This means it's all change on this list. Katseye and Gracie Abrams each have a track that now retrospectively joins the list for a week apiece, Pinky Up and Hit The Wall respectively. Sabrina Carpenter's House Tour and Noah Kahan's Doors also gain a week each. The biggest winners though from the Ella Langley scrub out are Prospa & Cloonee whose Free Your Mind goes from zero weeks on the list to six in one fell swoop, as well as climbing to a new peak of #12 this week. Are they going to break the top ten next week and necessitate another mass recalculation of the list? It's already updated in the usual spot further up this thread, but as so much has changed this week here is the affected portion of the list in full: 23/04/2026 #14 Katseye Pinky Up 14 30/04/2026 #21 Sabrina Carpenter House Tour 17 07/05/2026 #12 Noah Kahan Doors 12 14/05/2026 #18 Noah Kahan Doors 12 21/05/2026 #20 Prospa & Cloonee Free Your Mind 12 28/05/2026 #18 Gracie Abrams Hit The Wall 18 04/06/2026 #17 Prospa & Cloonee Free Your Mind 12 11/06/2026 #18 Prospa & Cloonee Free Your Mind 12 18/06/2026 #17 Prospa & Cloonee Free Your Mind 12 25/06/2026 #18 Prospa & Cloonee Free Your Mind 12 02/07/2026 #12 Prospa & Cloonee Free Your Mind 12

Olivia Rodrigo's Stupid Song gets a second week at #2 and a second week on this list.

Olivia Rodrigo replaces herself on the list this week, with Stupid Song entering at #2 and holding off The Cure which climbs back to #3.

Ella Langley's Choosin' Texas drops to #14 whilst getting a ninth week on this list.

Now you come to mention it I think I've had it on rare occasions in the past with completely unknown artists. I realise that the way youtube ads work literally anyone can pay Google Ads to circulate an ad for them on youtube, and they can name any youtube URL as being their ad, even if they don't own the video on the URL they name, so it could be any rich Zara Larsson fan who paid for it, or on the other hand it could have been the record label or some such.

In fairness it wouldn't take all that long to redo those weeks. That's partly because I'm now subscribed to Melody Charts, which makes the research of things like this so much easier and quicker than the OCC site does (and also doesn't jump scare me every 5 minutes like the OCC site does with Beetlejuice yelling at me or a referee blowing his whistle at me). It's also partly that I have already preemptively prepared a bit of paper with the next candidate for each of those weeks, so I should be prepped for the circumstance, unless any of the next candidates have inconveniently also somehow managed to make the Top 10 in the interim.

So earlier this evening I was doing some housework whilst one of my youtube playlists of 80s music was playing. It was a playlist of songs I had compiled based on some precise singles chart statistical criteria (regarding which a new thread potentially coming from me somewhere in the next few weeks) and so I wasn't entirely familiar with a lot of the tracks and therefore didn't notice immediately when a track started playing that wasn't a part of the playlist. The track played for literally about 2 minutes before I realised it was Zara Larsson's Midnight Sun (which clearly I don't find especially memorable, otherwise I would have caught on sooner). When I looked at it I realised that the official music video on youtube was playing to me as an advert. Not an advert to advertise the existence of the music video, but the music video itself was the advert. Someone has paid Google Ads to show me (and presumably plenty of others) her music video as an advert. Have any of your experienced anything like this? It will have been playing it out from the same URL so it would count as a play of the music video, so will this now count for the singles chart? And how many other people got this as an advert and didn't skip for 30 seconds or more and thus inadvertently contributed to her sales figure for next week's chart? Will she miraculously and unexpectedly rocket up the chart out of nowhere next week? How many other tracks are rising above their fair position in each week's chart (even if only by one or two places) on the basis of playing out to youtube viewers as a paid advert?

So no, it didn't crack the Top 10 yet, but reached a new peak of #12. That's 8 weeks now as the highest placed non-Top 10 single.

Olivia Rodrigo's The Cure drops another place to #4 to secure another week on this list.

Didn't Steps 5,6,7,8 break the record for most weeks in the Top 40 without making the Top 10? I guess that would count as a hoverer. Looking at Melody Charts it got 14 weeks in the 11-40 positions without any in the Top 10, but presumably the record is way more weeks than that now in the streaming era.

I'm still confused though, because the CD with that live version on it wasn't one of the three formats available in the UK anyway according to discogs. For 'I Love The Way You Love Me' Discogs shows a CD with number 562-242-2 that was available in both the UK and Europe, but which did not contain a version of No Matter What. Then there is another CD with number 563-199-2 that was UK only and again did not contain No Matter What. There is also the cassette single with number 563-198-4 which again did not contain No Matter What. The only CD version of that single which did contain the aforementioned live version of No Matter What was numbered 563-201-2 but according to discogs that was only issued in Europe, and not the UK. Was it a very small number of European imports finding their way over to British retailers that led to Polydor and Boyzone being punished? Or was it the label and band deliberately ensuring the older record was out of the Top 40 in order to not be punished by the OCC if they noticed those imports?

Discogs doesn't show any format of I Love The Way You Love Me that had No Matter What on it. I think the record label just prematurely killed off supplies of No Matter What so they could focus on ILTWYLM, though the latter turned out to not be as big a hit and they surely lost at least a few sales of the former.

Based on what Jim said earlier in the thread I think it's Idina Menzel's Let It Go with 13 weeks, one more than Mark Ambor's 12 with Belong Together.
