Replace Jumping Jack Flash with GT and that list is spot on. Maybe swap Rebel Rebel for Ashes To Ashes too though.

lex, what do you make of dr c's list? which is the made-up name?

― the confusing situation Enrique currently endures (Enrique), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:00 (twenty years ago)

Rebel Rebel wasn't a number one.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:03 (twenty years ago)

No Baccara, No Credibility.

jtn was otm, 'amarillo' was indeed a biggety-bomb track, but there have been non-urban ones since -- 'hung up' fo sho.

the last Song X before 'Crazy' = 'My Humps', like it or not

― zebedee (zebedee), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:13 (twenty years ago)

in a sense 'my humps' will always be song x.

― the confusing situation Enrique currently endures (Enrique), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:15 (twenty years ago)

Pussycat Dolls "Don't you wish your girlfriend etc" had to be one too

― Mark Co (Markco), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:17 (twenty years ago)

Disqualified for Jeffrey Archer reasons.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:18 (twenty years ago)

which one?

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:19 (twenty years ago)

'my humps' is more of a song x than any other song ever has or will be ever again. 'my humps' is the ultimate...something. HUMPS

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:24 (twenty years ago)

you can look but you can't touch it if you touch it I'MMA

you don't want no DRAMA
no no DRAMA
no no no no DRAMA
so don't pull on my HAND BOY
you ain't my MAN BOY
i'm just tryna DANCE BOY
and move my HUMPS

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:25 (twenty years ago)

how can you just leave me standing?

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:28 (twenty years ago)

alone in a world that's so cold?

― the confusing situation Enrique currently endures (Enrique), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:30 (twenty years ago)

maybe i'm just too demanding

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:31 (twenty years ago)

Charlie Chaplin made us laugh

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:34 (twenty years ago)

Rebel Rebel wasn't a number one.

Shit, it appears you are right Marcello. Although I was only 4 in '74 so have no real time memory of the record being in the charts. I was convinced that I'd heard it was a chart topper. Ashes To Ashes can stay then.

Actually, no, replace it with Sugar Sugar or I Heard It Through The Grapevine.

― Venga (Venga), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:40 (twenty years ago)

1 Thing's major problem - out in the same week as Coldplay and Crazy Frog, and you can't have three songs in a chart battle, as THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN. Hence all attention is focused on RIGHT versus WRONG, thus meaning that Amerie was kind of left dawdling on the sidelines (in the UK anyway). Then again, was it #1 anywhere else?

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 13:16 (twenty years ago)

Damn - I forgot God Save The Queen in my list.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 16 May 2006 13:20 (twenty years ago)

...eight weeks.

(nme news :)

The track - by duo Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse - is now the most successful single released in Britain in over a decade, beating Tony Christie's '(Is This The Way To) Amarillo' which clocked-up seven weeks at number one last year.

Wet Wet Wet's chart topper 'Love Is All Around' is now ahead of Gnarls Barkley in recent chart history with its 15 weeks at number one in 1994.

― pisces (piscesx), Monday, 22 May 2006 09:34 (twenty years ago)

how is 1994 recent chart history!

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 22 May 2006 09:42 (twenty years ago)

Hello complaining people. "I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker" by Sandi Thom is going to #1 next week. I hope you're all happy with yourself.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 22 May 2006 09:44 (twenty years ago)

what is that song? is it like ashlee simpson?

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 22 May 2006 09:46 (twenty years ago)

It's like a really really really rubbish Paula Cole.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 22 May 2006 09:47 (twenty years ago)

It's the most rockist song since NWA's "Express Yourself".

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 22 May 2006 09:48 (twenty years ago)

It's 'We will rock you' crossed with Janis Joplin's "Mercedez Benz" or something.

Amber and Alice were kinda 'unbothered' about it. So, the kids are alright.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 22 May 2006 09:49 (twenty years ago)

it sounds bad, but not as bad as idlewild or ordinary boys. why is it going to no 1? i have not heard of it.

why is christina milian not going to no 1?

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 22 May 2006 09:50 (twenty years ago)

Radio 2 now controls the charts, nobody under the age of 27 is buying music anymore.

Death to those who have a mortgage.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 22 May 2006 09:51 (twenty years ago)

why is christina milian not going to no 1?

-- The Lex (alex.macpherso...), May 22nd, 2006.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

cause it's nowhere near as good as everyone on here is saying it is.

― pisces (piscesx), Monday, 22 May 2006 10:35 (twenty years ago)

Milian over Thom any sodding day of the week (i haven't heard Thom yet tho haha).

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Monday, 22 May 2006 11:27 (twenty years ago)

a) no one on here is saying it is good apart from me!
b) it is even better than that

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 22 May 2006 11:27 (twenty years ago)

― pisces (piscesx), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 11:38 (twenty years ago)

#4 in the midweeks. Infernal at 3, Tooting Basement at 2 and Gnarls still top.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 11:47 (twenty years ago)

4 in the midweeks?

sould still be their biggest hit i say. ROCKS was a 7.

tooting basement? that's not real is it?

― pisces (piscesx), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 11:58 (twenty years ago)

It's all too real, alas.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 12:04 (twenty years ago)

make it stop!

― pisces, Sunday, 15 July 2007 23:02 (eighteen years ago)

make it stop!

why??

― groovemaaan, Sunday, 15 July 2007 23:29 (eighteen years ago)

"Umbrella" gets actively worse and worse. At this point, I never want to hear it again, especially the fuxxing Chris Brown version.

― The Reverend, Sunday, 15 July 2007 23:41 (eighteen years ago)

^ this is how i'm starting to feel about 'buy u a drank'

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 15 July 2007 23:45 (eighteen years ago)

this happened to me last year with "irreplaceable." song makes me want to crash my car.

― Jordan Sargent, Monday, 16 July 2007 00:17 (eighteen years ago)

nah, 'umbrella' is about as deserving a song as i can imagine for this kind of mammoth chart run. not remotely bored of it either.

― lex pretend, Monday, 16 July 2007 08:33 (eighteen years ago)

I don't hear it that often to get irritated by it. I like it well enough.

It's more "IS THERE NOTHING ELSE?" for me.

― Mark G, Monday, 16 July 2007 08:44 (eighteen years ago)

Foo Fighters in "vereh old track makes top forty" shokka!

― Mark G, Monday, 16 July 2007 08:44 (eighteen years ago)

It somehow quietly relieves me to realise I am so out of the loop Ive never heard ANY of these songs (except for "crazy").

― Trayce, Monday, 16 July 2007 08:49 (eighteen years ago)

i would get tired of it if it weren't for that dynamite jay-z intro.

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Monday, 16 July 2007 08:55 (eighteen years ago)

Kate Nash got jipped. Who else is next??
