Smallest Amount of Sales Seperating Songs/Albums
Chico - It's Chico Time beat Black Eyed Peas - Pump It to #2 by 5 copies in March 2006. 411 - Dumb beat Maroon 5 to #3 by 6 copies in September 2004. Art Brut - Emily Kane missed out on a top 40 position by 2 copies IIRC shortly after the inclusion of downloads (they would have been top 40 without downloads).
