Oh I thought you were calling me pathetic haha, I think some other factors for the decline is that groups were more popular during the 2000s and so if one member is queer, all their hits would be included. Also a lot of the early acts came out in the 2010-20s, so there's probably going to be more hits added retroactively from the 2010-20s over the following years and decades.

Elaborate??

As mentioned above, Julia Volkova is bisexual so she counts for the list. Madonna is unlabelled but has confirmed that she has slept with and is attracted to women from wikipedia: 'in 2022 she retrospectively said that she has slept with "a good handful" of women throughout her life', 'Three years later, in an interview with MTV, she admitted that she has had sexual attraction to other women whilst maintaining that she does not think about labels'. White Town is genderqueer, sourced from their mastodon bio and they've talked about it before, not sure what their pronouns are though

I was curious about this so I decided to see which artists I could find, I could be missing many or have accidentally added an artist so please lmk if I need to make changes. I'm going by artists who have somewhere in their wikipedia that they are out as queer. 1st Wk @ #1 Wks @ #1 Artist Title 30/04/1954 1 JOHNNIE RAY SUCH A NIGHT 16/11/1956 7 JOHNNIE RAY JUST WALKIN' IN THE RAIN 22/02/1957 7 TAB HUNTER YOUNG LOVE 07/06/1957 3 JOHNNIE RAY YES TONIGHT JOSEPHINE 28/04/1966 1 DUSTY SPRINGFIELD YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY YOU LOVE ME 22/11/1967 2 LONG JOHN BALDRY LET THE HEARTACHES BEGIN 20/03/1971 6 T REX HOT LOVE 24/07/1971 4 T REX GET IT ON 05/02/1972 2 T REX TELEGRAM SAM 20/05/1972 4 T REX METAL GURU 08/11/1975 2 DAVID BOWIE SPACE ODDITY 29/11/1975 9 QUEEN BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY 24/07/1976 6 ELTON JOHN & KIKI DEE DON'T GO BREAKING MY HEART 06/01/1979 3 VILLAGE PEOPLE Y.M.C.A. 23/08/1980 2 DAVID BOWIE ASHES TO ASHES 05/09/1981 2 SOFT CELL TAINTED LOVE 21/11/1981 2 QUEEN & DAVID BOWIE UNDER PRESSURE 23/10/1982 3 CULTURE CLUB DO YOU REALLY WANT TO HURT ME 19/02/1983 2 KAJAGOOGOO TOO SHY 09/04/1983 3 DAVID BOWIE LET'S DANCE 24/09/1983 6 CULTURE CLUB KARMA CHAMELEON 28/01/1984 5 FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD RELAX 02/06/1984 2 WHAM!

I got curious, and I believe that the only weeks where the Top 5 consists of singles that already hit #1 during that week or before are: 1999/01/09 2002/11/23 2012/11/03 2015/12/31 2026/02/05 2026/02/12 I couldn't find any weeks where the top 6 all hit #1

The lowest placing singles that I could find in this list are Ed Sheeran's Lego House, Pogues' Fairytale of New York and Olivia Dean's So Easy (to Fall in Love) at #7

is there a version of this for the highest placed non-#1 each week

Fontaines D.C. - It's Amazing To Be Young Hazbin Hotel - Love in a Bottle Imogen Heap - Headlock Miley Cyrus - End of the World Rosalía feat. Björk & Yves Tumor - Berghain Also I'm just curious, I've seen the #1's, #11-20's, and #21-40's polled, but I wonder if the hits peaking at #2-10 have been polled?

I'm new to radio playlists, but I noticed recently that Radio 6 recently had a bunch of trans and nonbinary artists playlisted, Ethel Cain, Lauren Auder, jasmine.4.t, Ezra Furman, (trans women) I. Jordan, Kae Tempest (trans masculine nonbinary) as well as a member of Geese being a trans woman, and a member of The Last Dinner Party being nonbinary, which is amazing to see! I'm wondering what other trans and nonbinary artists you know got played? And also if any trans/nb acts have been playlisted on Radio 1, I know The Blessed Madonna and salute did (both nb).

I'm wondering if there are any comprehensive lists about what artists have simultaneously gotten 3 main (as defined by OCC) credits the most amount of times? Are there any who've gotten 3 very low charting singles? I remember in 2021 when Bo Burnham did so for like 5 weeks and never reaching the top 40.

...and now we can fill in the 1991 gap! UK Singles Charts: 1991 (including chart panel sales) - UKMIX Forums 1991: Curve - Clipped Peak position: #36 Weeks in chart: 05 Christmas Number One: Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody/These Are The Days of Our Lives Ooh very interesting that Curve got this achievement and are the last to be found out! They're a duo who mixed shoegaze and electronic elements together. They landed a few top 40 hits (notably more than my bloody valentine and Slowdive, the 2 most remembered acts in shoegaze!) before they disbanded in 2005. I've only listened to a couple of their tracks, but all have been really good, Clipped being no exception! In 2006, vocalist Toni Halliday featured on a Christmas single by The Killers in 'A Great Big Sled', however this didn't chart.

Yay, I think this might be my first win! Thanks for hosting @Mangø

Surprised 070 Shake didn't get a mention for 8 considering how recent and popular Escapism. was! Also bit peeved and amazed that @dandy* collided with me yet again! Only found the band through chart searching, thinking the name was cool, and hoping they were obscure enough to get unmentioned. But I forgot that I have a long lost twin I share telepathic connections with which puts me at a disadvantage in this game.

I'm confused by Q2, does that include every top 40 with an E in its title? And for Q5, are you asking for the top 40 hits after 2020 regardless of when the artist competed, or songs by artists who participated in Eurovision after 2020?

I like that the old site we could copy and paste into a spreadsheet w not much hassle besides removing some spaces that had ads, I’m assuming that might be part of why they changed it maybe though so 😭 I hate that the EOY charts show data for the Top 200 while only showing the top 100 it’s so frustrating, show the 200 or keep it to the top 100 I think they should do. For artists, they should at the very least have some metadata link to the designated lead artists chart history, Maybe they could link part of the text to the features as well? But just the main artist would be an improvement over nothing
