Don't think it's there yet?

Yet "Shake It Off" didn't even make the Top 3. Kind of destroys your point.

02/12/1961 32 09/12/1961 16 16/12/1961 14 23/12/1961 6 30/12/1961 6 06/01/1962 8 13/01/1962 2 20/01/1962 2 27/01/1962 2 03/02/1962 5 10/02/1962 8 17/02/1962 7 24/02/1962 12 03/03/1962 11 10/03/1962 13 17/03/1962 8 24/03/1962 8 31/03/1962 7 07/04/1962 6 14/04/1962 7 21/04/1962 13 28/04/1962 12 05/05/1962 10 12/05/1962 15 19/05/1962 13 26/05/1962 12 02/06/1962 11 09/06/1962 12 16/06/1962 11 23/06/1962 11 30/06/1962 9 07/07/1962 9 14/07/1962 17 21/07/1962 19 28/07/1962 18 04/08/1962 20 11/08/1962 19 18/08/1962 18 25/08/1962 22 01/09/1962 23 08/09/1962 27 15/09/1962 30 22/09/1962 32 29/09/1962 31 06/10/1962 38 Then dropped out of the 40 for one week and returned on and off for the rest of 1962

I think the last top 40 hit to feature "Church" was "No Church In The Wild"

Yes, good idea. I've edited my earlier post to remove the name

But that's hardly one country "snubbing" it - if Wikipedia can be believed the only other countries where it made the Top 10 were Korea, France, Flanders & Finland

Great to see Counting Crows so high. I know they will drop come the weekend but still. A really good album.

Most of Abba's songs reaching number ones all over the world but barely registering in the US?

R Kelly - Bump 'n' Grind - (9 Weeks) 21/01/1995 -10-{8}-14-12-17-19-29-49-64

It would help if you explained a little better what all the numbers and the brackets mean

I can probably do some lists based on your first suggestion.

"Thrift Shop" again of course.

Part 31 added, that brings us to the end of the F's and approximately one-third of the way through the project. Only four long runners this time around - Billy Fury & Aretha Franklin of the oldies, Frankie Goes To Hollywood from the 80s and Nelly Furtado of more recent vintage. Fuse ODG of today's crop is included, as are the likes of Fun, Frankee and the Fugees who all reached number one. Frida is also here, but of course is better known elsewhere. Now here is where I am asking for a little bit of help to finish of the G's ready to start posting them next week. 1) Gene Loves Jezebel - I've been having trouble working out what their line up was during their 1996-97 hitmaking period. Can anyone clarify please? 2) Grange Hill Cast - I've just got them listed as "British male/female actor/vocal group, from the BBC TV show "Grange Hill"", but I'd like to name those actors who did the vocals on "Just Say No". I know there may well be several, but does anyone know which ones they were please?

Added the following 57 Bastille - Pompeii David Guetta & Showtek Featuring Vassy - Bad 68 Lana Del Rey vs Cedric Gervais - Summertime Sadness 70 Tove Lo featuring Hippie Sabotage - Stay High

Nice spot Bre Yes, 4 weeks at No. 70 in a row is a record, in fact 4 weeks at any time at No. 70 equals the record previously shared by "Whatever" by Oasis and "Who Am I" by Will Young (which had an interesting end to it's chart career, spending its last 9 weeks at 70-67-66-70-69-74-70-60-70

God, this guy has an awful voice. Effectively one note, just at different volumes.

I wasn't going to mention that, it was Dappy & Brian May's "Rockstar" from March 2012. Best left in the forgotten pile.

And recalling the irrelevant factoid from earlier on, we haven't had a 38-7 move for over 30 years, the classic that is "Down Under" by Men At Work from January 1983!

They dropped the "visual part" a couple of weeks ago.

Good as it is, "Ugly Heart" really is a 30-second idea extended to fill a 3 minute song.

I hope Suzanne Vega is getting songwriter's royalties

Irrelevant random chart factoid - first rise from Number 41 to Number 26 since Tone Loc did it in 1989 with the wacky "Funky Cold Medina"

I haven't got anyone at all as being marked from Lithuania in my Top 75 database. Perhaps there might be an odd member of a group somewhere, but I doubt it.

Another couple of minor Euro-dance hits "Chief Inspector" by Wally Badarou "Underwater" by Harry Thumann
