  1. Sorry, can't do those who charted in the US, only the UK singles chart.
  2. I'll add those to the list of requests. There's only single figures of artists from either country.
  3. fchd posted a post in a topic in UK Charts
    Well if you look at the single artwork, Dakota should be capitalized as well. Yes, the typo on Dakota and the other chart position errors were avoidable, but if that bring out such irritation in you, perhaps you need to chill a little. Nobody's perfect, we all make mistakes.
  4. Surely that was because they couldn't distinguish between "sales" generated when the track was free when pre-ordering the album, or genuine sales of the individual track?
  5. Technically speaking it's not a Scandinavian country, but here is Iceland. I thought there might be a few more to be honest even though it's a small country in terms of population. If I've got any of the spellings right, please do say so.

If mods want these in separate threads, please let me know and I will oblige.
  6. Maybe not alone, but probably in the minority. I've not heard "Pillowtalk" yet and don't care if I never hear the other two again.
  7. While Zayn (and no I'm not going to capitalize it all) celebrates reaching number one with his first solo single, his old bandmates rack up their 400th week in the Top 100.
  8. The lead singer (Lukas Graham Forchhammer) is 27. Don't know about the other members.
  9. I could do, but a) I prefer a "hook" to base it on, and b) it would have to be a country with a reasonable number of artists to make it interesting but not too many to just be a mass of text. I guess requests could be made?
  10. Just looked up Daze - both the above had one week in the 76-100 range back in 1998 (@ 76 & 95 respectively). Therefore they will appear in my data when I backtrack that far with the "added" portion of the charts.
  11. With reference to Lukas Graham entering the chart this week, I have produced a list of Danish (and part-Danish) acts to have made the UK charts. My data currently consists of Top 100 since April 2009 and Top 75 before that (so it is a little bit of a compromise but I don't think that makes a whole lot of important differnence here) Key - $ = US Number One (1959-date), ✮ UK Million Seller, ➜ Still in Top 100 at this time.

    Can't see a better place to put this, but this was Bowie's Top 75 hit record up until now. I sense a lot of "Also charted in 2016" will appear in this list by this time next week. DAVID BOWIE British male singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist (born David Jones, 8/1/47-10/1/16). His constant innovation across more than 40 years saw him hailed as one of the must influential figures of modern music. He won 2 Grammy awards and 2 Brits, and in the 2002 BBC poll of 100 Greatest Britons, he was ranked 29th. He declined a knighthood in 2003. 06 Sep 69 Space Oddity 1 24 wks (Also charted in 1975.

  16. In which case the troll has won. Just ignore him/her and perhaps they'll go away with their tail between their legs.
  17. If my counting is correct, 37 of the top 100 on the latest Kworb update are Bowie songs. X Ambassadors' "Renegades" the only non-Bowie track even in pale green.

    Not necessarily, we've yet to see how long the Bowie records last as potential Top 10 candidates. It's not out of the question that "What Do You Mean" could drop out of the Top 10 this Friday.
  19. Au contraire. There might not be a lot of difference in the music but Mendes does at least sound sincere (and come across as such in the one interview I've seen of him.) With Bieber it just seems like music by numbers, he just turned up, saw the lyrics and sang the songs.
  20. Looks like "Heroes" is number 3 when combined now. Only 2 non-Bowie songs are green on Kworb in the whole Top 55.
  21. Not just this year, I don't think ANY track has managed that. 13 have 9 different, including from recent times Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud", Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble" and Eminem featuring Rihanna with "The Monster". Before that it was "Wonderwall" and before that you have to go back to the very early days of the chart.
  22. I suspect so. Not in the Itunes top 1500 at the moment while over 130 Bowie tracks/versions are.
  23. So sad to hear the news about Bowie. I found the new album to be a bit of a disappointment, but it's going to be interesting to see how may of his classic songs enter the rolling charts and just how high they can get. "Life On Mars" and "Heroes" already making an impact by creeping into the bottom two positions on the last Kworb update.

    As always with "consecutive" weeks queries, I'm not quite 100% sure of my methodology, but I think the list goes something like this Frankie Laine - I Believe - Run of 35 consecutive weeks from w/e 11/04/1953 Doris Day - Secret Love - Run of 27 consecutive weeks from w/e 03/04/1954 Frank Chacksfield - Terry's Theme (Theme From "Limelight") - Run of 23 consecutive weeks from w/e 23/05/1953 Mario Lanza - Because You're Mine - Run of 22 consecutive weeks from w/e 22/11/1952 Obernkirchen Children's Choir - The Happy Wanderer - Run of 22 consecutive weeks from w/e 23/01/1954 Bryan Adams - (Everything I Do) I Do It For You - Run of 21 consecutive weeks from w/e 29/06/1991 Beatles - She Loves You - Run of 21 consecutive weeks from w/e 07/09/1963 Mantovani - The Song From The Moulin Rouge - Run of 21 consecutive weeks from w/e 30/05/1953 Eddie Calvert - Oh Mein Papa - Run of 20 consecutive weeks from w/e 19/12/1953 Kitty Kallen - Little Things Mean A Lot - Run of 20 consecutive weeks from w/e 03/07/1954 Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud - Run of 20 consecutive weeks from w/e 18/10/2014 Wet Wet Wet - Love Is All Around - Run of 20 consecutive weeks from w/e 21/05/1994 Pharrell Williams - Happy - Run of 20 consecutive weeks from w/e 21/12/2013 Justin Bieber - What Do You Mean - Run of 19 consecutive weeks from w/e 10/09/2015 Bing Crosby & Grace Kelly - True Love - Run of 19 consecutive weeks from w/e 08/12/1956 David Whitfield with Mantovani and His Orchestra - Cara Mia - Run of 19 consecutive weeks from w/e 19/06/1954 ...
