Just to add that I have now worked out that it also needs you to type a return key (as opposed to the shift+return that I almost always end a line with) immediately BEFORE you post the link in, as well as afterwards, and even then it only sometimes works the way it is supposed to, and even if it works it only sometimes lets you actually post the edited version of the post that visibly contains the embedded video, but at least now I can sometimes embed a youtube video, rather than never embed them. I'm just adding this comment here to aide anyone else (quite probably including future me) who also Googles for help with this problem.

2016: Easter Sunday 27th March announced 25th March Friday chart announcements arrived in July 2015, so I return to adding the announcement date for each of these. For the purposes of this thread (and the notion of an Easter chart or Easter #1) it does at least mean the same chart is current during the entirety of each Easter now I guess. Anyway some long forgotten song called Lush Life, by someone called Zara Larsson was dropping out the Top 3 to #4, swapping place with Fifth Harmony ft Ty Dollar Sign's Work From Home. Lukas Graham's 7 years stays put at #2, and Mike Posner's I Took A Pill In Ibiza spends the second of four weeks at #1.

2015: Easter Sunday 5th April James Bay's Hold Back the River drops from its career peak of #2 down a place to #3, Ed Sheeran rockets up from #26 to #2 with Bloodstream, and Jess Glynne stay at the top for the second of three weeks with Jet 2 Holidays.... erm I mean Hold My Hand

I'm updating one of my old threads and also cannot embed a youtube video no matter what I try. I am pasting the full link, including the https:// bit, directly into the post editor, and pressing the return key from the end of the link and it just shows up as a link, or it gives me the option to undo that and then just shows it as ordinary text, but nothing I try will let me embed the actual video.

I recently remembered this thread, and knew it was a few years since I last updated it, but it turns out it was as much as 13 years ago! So let's bring it up to the present... 2014: Easter Sunday 20th April Shift K3y had a new entry, and their chart debut, at #3 with Touch, whilst last week's number one, Sigma - Nobody To Love, dropped to 2, and there was a new entry at #1. and another chart debut, for Kiesza with Hideaway

The new track on this list this week is Raye ft Hans Zimmer - Click Clack Symphony, which reaches a new peak of #11 in its second week. Elsewhere both Tame Impala's Dracula and Dominic Fike's Babydoll reach the Top 10 for the first time, and the latter means that something interesting (for some nerdy definition of interesting) has happened for the first time since I began updating this thread every week, as its all change for 3 of the previous 4 weeks on this list. Dominic Fike's Babydoll's first week is now transferred to Bruno Mars' Risk It All which was one place below him. His second week needs us to skip over five other tracks that have all reached top 10 (including Dracula incidentally) for Dominic to transfer that week to himself, this time with White Keys. And after leaving Sienna Spiro's week as it is, the third week Dominic Fike previously had means we have to skip over three top 10 tracks (again including Dracula) to transfer the week to Sienna, now giving her two consecutive weeks on the list with The Visitor.

Bella Kay's Iloveitiloveitiloveit returns to #2, notching up a fourth non-consecutive week as the nation's highest 'selling' non-charttopper and earning it's place on the Spotify playlist I mentioned before (the 249th to do so). I also noticed that when I added The Beatle's - Magical Mystery Tour to the playlist, Spotify's useability was such that I mistakenly added the Album of that name instead of the track (or even the EP that was actually charting on the singles chart in 1967), so 10 tracks have been removed from the playlist since I first posted the link for it here.

I wrestled with whether or not to count the Grease Megamix, since it is primarily a remix of two previous charttoppers. If you excluded that then you would have Farm - All Together Now at #6 for w/e 29/12/1990 and #7 for w/e 05/01/1991, so that could potentially be another one. I've also just noticed that I counted the next song on the list, Seal's Crazy, a week too early when Grease Megamix was a place higher still, so I'll have to correct that.

Dominic Pike's Babydoll gains a new peak of #11 this week, returning to this list for a third week. Will it go one better next week and remove itself from this list? The only change in the top 10 is the BTS new entry, so nothing else on this list changes.

I've finally completed this up to the present week (w/e 02/04/2026). I hope I didn't make too many mistakes/typos in it. I am aware of one bit of renumbering I need to do for the 1997-2004 section due to a numbering mistake I picked up on for a 1997 re, but let me no if you spot any other errors. Here's a playlist of all the tracks that appear on this list for four or more weeks (surely the tracks with the strongest claims to being big enough to have been UK charttoppers in an alternative universe?), all ordered by the first week they appeared on this list (though about 4 or 5 tracks actually qualify for the playlist in a later stint on this list) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5cI1s4Y6q8UwWd2CpBMsK8

I was putting together a playlist today of the biggest songs over the years that missed the UK #1 (using a specific definition to determine what counts or doesn't for the list), and I happened to notice that Neil Reid's Mother Of Mine and Father Abraham's Smurf Song are both missing from spotify, although the latter seems to be available in a soundalike version that is suspiciously close indeed to the original, whilst I'm in no rush to play the former anyway so just added a karaoke version as a placeholder. All 185 other tracks I needed for the years 1952 to 2004 were there in at least some sort of version, though I couldn't swear that they were all the original versions. I'm still compiling the stats for 2005-2026, but when I've done that and then completed the playlist I will post it on one of the threads I'm working on.

One slight difference is that a book is a one-off payment, whereas this is a subscription model, so in the long run will work out much more expensive than buying a book. I do understand though that you'll have ongoing hosting and licencing costs so will need continued revenue over time.

Sienna Spiro's The Visitor is added to the list this week as a new entry at #11. The only change in the make up of the Top 10 is Zara Larsson popping back in at the expense of one of Harry Styles's three tracks, so there are no other changes to this list.

Dominic Pike gained a second week on the list, and a new peak at #13. The only changes to the Top 10 are Harry Styles' new entries at #1 and #5 , so there are no other changes to this list this week.

I've just downloaded it now.

Are we downloading all week, or did it have to be on Saturday afternoon? Unfortunately this is the first I've heard about the campaign, and I will download in a hour or two's time if it the campaign is still going, just have to pop to me mother's first.
