On the whole, yes. A couple of exceptions can be made though - "White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)" disappeared off the chart for a few weeks early in its run and "I'm Yours" was outside the Top 75 for one week after 3 weeks before returning.

If it isn't a sale it shouldn't be taken into account on an Itunes chart then.

Carrying on the country theme; Kasey Chambers On a wider, "fun" pop theme : Jill Sobule And one who had one minor hit, then the second single (which was really good) got shelved and she has disappeared without trace: Daisy Dares You

If however you do need to hang your hat on something from January 10 Florence & The Machine's "Dog Days Are Over" Owl City's "Fireflies" Biffy Clyro's "Many Of Horror (When We Collide)" may well be candidates.

Far too early to tell. "Classics" need a decade or more to develop.

Yes, it even smacked of "Ooh, I'm saying a rude word" and if we include it in brackets in the title too, that'll gain me extra publicity. And then I'll do a "clean" version too to get some people to buy it twice.

"Summertime Sadness". I find Lana Del Ray an excellent songwriter but an average singer, and sticking a dance beat on one of her records hasn't done it any favours in my opinion.

So you mean a peak at number one without peaking at number one in the other methodology, not necessarily in the same week (which is how I and apparently a number of others read your post)?

The dozens of slightly different versions of Alex Day's "Forever Yours"

About time for "Summertime Sadness" to depart now.

Surely they're still the same thing, top of A and not B will happen the same time that something is top of B but not A

The telethon is on the 14th Novemner

Can you explain it then please as I thought exactly the same as Suedehead2

Or even by Bread.

Why not? If they're selling the most, they should be in the chart.

It wasn't even the best Macklemore & Ryan Lewis song of 2013. "Same Love" takes that honour by a mile. As long as it's still here the Saturdays/Sean Paul thing will get my vote.

Third part of G posted, the usual eclectic mix of artists Ellie Goulding has most weeks on chart of this batch, and is one of five to have reached number one (along with fellow current hitmaker Ariana Grande, the awful Goombay Dance Band, critcally acclaimed Gorillaz and long running one hit wonders Gotye featuring Kimbra). Goldfrapp also represent music press favourites, Good Charlotte & Goo Goo Dolls the rock fraternity and the Goodies and the Goons the comedy value. Delta Goodrem's appearance will please at least one long-term Buzzjack poster, Gorgon City are another in this week's Top 40 and we also have the kings of never reaching the Top 40 Gorky's Zygotic Mynci. I've lumped all Grandmaster Flash/Melle Mel/Furious Five records together, this may be something I may revisit at some point in the future. All of the above suggestions taken on board (I think), plus I'm surprised no-one picked me up that I somehow left out the reference to Mike & The Mechanics in the Genesis entry!

At last! The steaming pile of **** that is "Thrift Shop" has gone. Has to be the Saturdays/Sean Paul thing to go next please.

I hope not. I haven't even heard the Vamps' version yet, but it's a pretty terrible song to begin with and their previous singles don't exactly make me want to hurry to listen to it.

I sense I'm getting close to my goal of seeing "Thrift Shop" out

Surprised no-one has mentioned 1977 for the emergence of Punk (yes I know there were a few signs of what was to come in '76 but '77 was when things started to happen on a wider scale)

At least we're building up a body of support for getting rid of "Thrift Shop" now. The sooner it disappears the better.
