Thanks for hosting, Mack, and congrats to the other winners!

50 Cent - P.I.M.P. peaked at #5 ('pimp' means 5 in certain old English dialects). 🙂

Looking at the OCC website, it seems that the lower part of this chart has been corrected (like the one in July 1999): Original Position - New Position - Artist - Title 40 - 39 - Audio Bullys ft Nancy Sinatra - Shot You Down 39 - 40 - The Cribs - Martell 43 - 41 - Roll Deep - The Avenue 41 - 42 - The Coral - Something Inside Of Me 42 - 43 - Robert Post - Got None 44 - 44 - Axwell - Feel The Vibe (Til The Morning Comes) 45 - 45 - Kubb - Remain 46 - 46 - Kanye West - Diamonds From Sierra Leone 47 - 47 - Texas - Getaway 48 - 48 - Crazy Frog - Axel F 50 - 49 - Inaya Day - Nasty Girl 49 - 50 - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Ain't No Easy Way 51 - 51 - Snoop Dogg - Ups & Downs 52 - 52 - Kaiser Chiefs - Everyday I Love You Less And Less 53 - 53 - Coldplay - Speed Of Sound 55 - 54 - Dancing DJs vs Roxette - Fading Like A Flower 54 - 55 - Tony Christie ft Peter Kay - (Is This The Way To) Amarillo 56 - 56 - Missy Elliott ft Ciara & Fatman Scoop - Lose Control 57 - 57 - Mark Owen - Believe In The Boogie 58 - 58 - Natalie Imbruglia - Counting Down The Days 59 - 59 - Lemar - Don't Give It Up 61 - 60 - The Black Eyed Peas - Don't Phunk With My Heart 60 - 61 - Tyler James - Your Woman 69 - 62 - Faithless - Insomnia 62 - 63 - John Legend - Number One 63 - 64 - The Research - C'Mon Chameleon/I Love You, But… 64 - 65 - Lil' Love - Little Love 65 - 66 - KT Tunstall - Other Side Of The World 66 - 67 - Longview - Further 67 - 68 - Supergrass - St Petersburg 68 - 69 - Bobby Valentino - Slow Down 70 - 70 - Razorlight - Somewhere Else 73 - 71 - Deep Dish - Say Hello 71 - 72 - Super Furry Animals - Lazer Beam 72 - 73 - Foo Fighters - Best Of You 75 - 74 - Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl 74 - 75 - Amerie - 1 Thing Looking at which tracks have gained/lost places, it would appear that the original chart had some download sales missing (the tracks that have lost positions look as though they would have been predominantly physical-sellers). The biggest position change is Insomnia, which is now 7 places higher - this was charting (almost) exclusively on downloads, made chart-eligible by a limited physical re-issue a few months earlier (it received a physical re-issue a couple of weeks later, reaching #17).

There's also quite a few drivers who had multiple poles but didn't convert any of them to wins e.g.: Chris Amon - 5 pole positions but never won a race Keke Rosberg - 5 pole positions and 5 victories but never managed both in the same race Teo Fabi - 3 pole positions but never led a lap

In fact I believe the first female soloist to have a #1 album was Connie Francis, with 20 All Time Greats in 1977.

Steps - Stomp was fairly typical of the sound of its time, it just got to #1 because it was released in a relatively quiet week.

Records relating to Most Simultaneous Hits As Lead Artist will not be broken due to 3-tracks rule. 2000's record for Most #1 Singles In A Calendar Year (42 new #1s) is unlikely to be surpassed due to longer runs at #1.

Which will be exactly the same chart that they did last year.

Bon Jovi - It's My Life mentions My Way by Frank Sinatra.

Zayn may or may not be the 'My Ex' in Little Mix's Shout Out To My Ex.

The Stranglers - Golden Brown

That 2002 chart was the last chart show that Mark Goodier presented back in the day. Spookily both the 1992 and 2002 charts featured a dance cover of a Bryan Adams track (Rage in 1992, DJ Sammy in 2002).

Thanks for hosting, Mangø, and congrats to Jim and dandy*.

Joss Stone Daniel Bedingfield

Supertramp - Breakfast In America and No Doubt - Don't Speak.
