Official Singles Chart on 1/1/2021

But Kylie's version is at 31

Which is great of course but always remember where a cover comes from!

You forgot about Vienna by Ultravox.

Vienna isn't on the list lol https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-best-selling-singles-of-all-time-on-the-official-uk-chart__21298/

My fault Cameron, i didn't know you meant songs that were on the list.

No worries lol

It's gone becuase it was a song that no one liked and listened to like once. Plus it's not funny putting that rubbish in the middle of a top 40 chart that kid's read. It's pathetic.

Also, why is Blinding Lights Number 1 on Spotify and Number 2 on Apple Music? 🤨

Because it's the end of the year haha. If it wasn't for ACR it'd be #1 next week. 🖕 ACR.

I think it might get a reset to be honest, a lot of songs get one at this time.

happy new year!! let’s hope 2021 is much kinder to us all... :))))

Happy new year Thierry! :)

Happy New Year https://disqus.com/by/thierryhenon/ !
Wishing you a great 2021 with lots of great music!

Hi Ronald! Hope you are fine and had a great time at Xmas..Was father Xmas good this year? Wishing you all the best for the coming year...Keep in touch.x.

Happy new year dear Thierry

Happy new year dear Coolo

Hi Thierry! Yep, had a lovely 2 week holiday. This lockdown is a great way to relax before I have to go back to work (school) tomorrow. School is not completely closed so there is enough work to be done! Hope you had a great Christmas time too. Father Christmas has been good to me: KYLIE "I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY" T-SHIRT / EUROVISION 2020 CD / BOTTLE OF WHISKEY / GIFT CARDS. I'm not complaining! And what has Father Christmas given you? Take care & stay safe! Best wishes, Ronald https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/019599106a49d18b1fffea3c1abd269f98b453c1d75b7ec27fdcca804ed1eec1.jpg

you too! :))))

Happy new year DAMI! hope you are well and Father Xmas was generous with you this year! Have a good day and take care of yourself.

Morning Dami! Happy new year to you too..Hope you had a great Xmas and that Father Xmas generous with you this year! Have a wonderful day and take care.

I don't think so, but Last Christmas will almost certainly do that next week haha!

Biggest drop from number one was Three Lions in 2018, it went from 1 to 97 lol

Yes ur right it becomes the first no1 in history to spend 1 wk in the top 75

I think it will start rising the chart from next week

Let's also hope that, Real Groove (Studio 2054 remix) by Kylie and Dua Lipa becomes the hit it deserves

I think it’s definitely one to watch! Creeping up in sales and streams and with some radio momentum could potentially do a fake friends and go top 20 considering how catchy it is

Yesss, i really hope it Ian!!! Kylie deserves a top 40 at least with this wonderful album!!!

I hope you're right! I think is has Top 40 potential at least, especially when all the Christmas songs drop out next week. :)

I still haven't heard that yet, but I have no doubt that it'll be amazing! :D

I'm hoping that it can go at least Top 40 next week with all the Christmas songs dropping out. :)

2020 was so good for music. I gave out "awards", but I'm saving the announcement until the top 100 songs of 2020 go up.
I agree with Blinding Lights and Head & Heart - such good tunes!

I've got a few posts planned for the Chart Of 2020 too! Overall though, it was definitely an above average year for music (even though the past few months in general life have been an absolute disaster). :/

The music definitely kept me going over the trauma from the year gone. Just something to cherish from a god-awful year and carry forward into 2021

Yeah, at least we'll always have the hits from 2020, but I just hope they'll still get their chance to shine at clubs, festivals, holidays, etc. in the future. :)

I mean, I get that Mariah should have been number 1 last year, but I'm certaintly not complaining about another number 1 for Ellie!

I love Ellie too, but 'River' shouldn't have been #1 in the charts last year. :/

It shouldn't have, true (how a song that was the true definition of a yo-yo song beat Mariah to number 1 is beyond me). Ellie deserved it (a lot), but Mariah deserved it A LOT more.
But least justice was served last year, and Ellie added another number 1 to her tally in the process :)

may I direct you to the sales chart

Comin Over Here is at 65 on this one and Boris song was at number 5 last week if you bother to look at the chart for more than five seconds.....

noted.

That 'Boris' song is gone, forever. Thank God, it was pathetic putting that in a chart that kid's look at.

Black magic won't it did poorly in streaming

It's probably better for artists to not release albums in December because of all the Christmas songs in the chart lol

Be crazy if Shane codd made it to no.1 it was released in May last year and hopefully it will finally hit the top 10 next week!

'Get Out My Head' is still gaining really fast in performance, so it could see it reaching the Top 5 next week & maybe even peaking inside the Top 3!

I'm not sure about it going all the way to #1, but hey, I can only hope it does, haha. :)

Hi piran
Another chart record broke today as Wham get to no.1.
Ladbaby Dont stop me eatin becomes the first No.1 in chart history to spend a single week in the charts.

Incorrect. It's #78.

I know so that means its the first no 1 ever to spend 1 week in the top 75 only no 78 doesnt count as a week i know wat im talking about

Hey Mark! :)

That chart record for Wham is correct, but LadBaby actually stayed in for a second week (although he did crash all the way to #78).

YES!!

Maybe lol

1-97 is the record so far (3 Lions in 2018). It probably will, but you never know. I honestly thought LadBaby would do it this week to be honest, but he didn't, so you never know

Follows Ladbaby on that front then.

Well, at least LadBaby didn't actually leave the chart. To be honest, 78 is over where I thought they would be

Like Music Week, I only consider the top 75 to be the chart. So #78 is dropping out.

Just like Mariah Carey will go 2-OUT this week.

Honestly it would be shocking to see it reach 2 again let alone the top

Hope so

I'd love to see it happen but I don't think it ever will sadly unless AIWFCIY and Last Christmas end up on ACR bad and Fairytale of New York somehow manages to use that to its benefit. It's always the third in line so that'd be the most likely scenario it'd happen in

'Love Story' too! ;)

Yeah, it's not likely, but hey, both Mariah & Wham both going to #1 this Christmas is enough for me, haha. :)

Life is complete if they did it :)

The Christmas trilogy would be complete then! ;)

That's never going to be #1 though lol

No, but it is in the Top 40 best-selling songs of all-time apparently! :O

Yeah it was #2 for seven consecutive weeks and seven different songs kept it off #1 lol

Cool stat. Got to be a record for most records keeping a #2 off the top. There was an 8-week run but that was all behind Bryan Adams!

I think the record is seven weeks for a #2 which has happened three times. There was I Swear by All-4-One in 1993 which spent seven consecutive weeks at #2 behind Love Is All Around by Wet Wet Wet. Then Moves Like Jagger spent seven consecutive weeks at #2 in 2011. Then most recently in 2018, These Days by Rudimental spent seven consecutive weeks at #2 behind God's Plan by Drake but it reached #1 after the seven weeks.

Right Said Freds 'I'm Too ' was kept from the #1 for 6 wks by Bryan Adams, then 3 years later 'I Swear' by All 4 One spent 7 weeks at #2 thanks to Wet Wet Wet. But no other #2 song has been kept off the top by so many different #1s as ' Moves Like Jagger' which is a cruel irony as some of those one-week #1s were really inferior,forgettable songs. Judge for yourselves....

Example - Stay Awake
Pixie Lott - All About Tonight
One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful
Dappy - No Regrets
Sak Noel - Loca People
Rihanna & Calvin Harris - We Found Love (2 wks)

Six different songs kept it from the UK #1, not 7. ;o)

I got some of it wrong. As you say, All For One at 7 weeks is the longest consecutive run. Frank Chackesfield (Limelight) had 8 weeks at #2 in 4 different runs - all behind Frankie Laine I Believe (which itself had different runs, both hits dropped from their peak at the same time!). As for the #1s keeping Jagger off, of the 5 I remember they are all pretty decent. Don't remember the Dappy one!

Possibly everything she wants by wham? The original release in 1984 was a double a side

Surely that accolade now falls to ‘Everything She Wants’ on its own now?

OCC are classing it as 'Moves Like Jagger', according to their singles chart article;

"Previously, Last Christmas was the UK’s best-selling single to never reach Number 1, accumulating 1.9 million pure sales to date across its lifetime. That title is now handed over to Maroon 5’s Moves Like Jagger ft. Christina Aguilera (1.55m pure sales), a Number 2 hit in 2011."

https://www.officialcharts.c*m/chart-news/whams-last-christmas-finally-reaches-number-1-and-sets-official-uk-chart-record__32041/

(replace the * with an o)

I'd have thought so too, but OCC are saying it's 'Moves Like Jagger', according to their latest singles chart article;

"Previously, Last Christmas was the UK’s best-selling single to never reach Number 1, accumulating 1.9 million pure sales to date across its lifetime. That title is now handed over to Maroon 5’s Moves Like Jagger ft. Christina Aguilera (1.55m pure sales), a Number 2 hit in 2011."

They often get things wrong, they will correct it at some point

Believe me David, the Dappy #1 is (to quote Steps) better best forgotten. Whoever downloaded THAT needs imprisoning somewhere north of Russia. ;o)

I literally have forgotten about it! :-)
Or maybe didn't know about it in the first place. I may have to download it one day as part of the hits collectoin.

Doubt it. I pointed out some errors 4 years ago and none have been corrected. I don't even bother mentioning them to OCC now, just make a note for myself so I have a more accurate record than this website, or the print chart versions.

I'd have said it was 'Moves Like Jagger', since that was a released as a separate single, unlike 'Everything She Wants' (which was only released in 1984 as a double A-side alongside 'Last Christmas').

That's definitely the record for the most songs that have blocked the same single from going to #1! :O

I'm about to play Careless Whisper to celebrate... 🎉

Classic

It's their fifth. What do you think their fifth one was?

Yes you're right actually, their previous four were:

Wake Me Up Before You Go Go
Freedom
I'm Your Man
The Edge of Heaven

Happy New Year Piran and everyone! So happy to see Last Christmas at No. 1. You already know I'm having a nice day with JB releasing Anyone (amazing) 🥊 and he's Top 5 this week in the 🇬🇧.

I haven't heard 'Anyone' yet, but yeah, I'm absolutely buzzing about 'Last Christmas' going to #1 in the same way that I was for 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' three weeks ago! :D

Best wishes & a positive outlook after Easter for 2021 to all our friends here on O.C.C. *Salutes*

Happy New Year https://disqus.com/by/disqus_XJbjZC0JLD/ !

Have a happy New Year Piran !!!

Happy new year 2021 dear Piran!!

Happy New Year to you too! :D

Thank you! You too. :)

Happy New Year to you too! :D

Best wishes to you too. :)

(Belated) Happy New Year, sweetpea. Keep bringing positivity to this section (I'll take care of posting nasty comments).

Hey Yolanda! :)

Thanks! You too.

I quite liked the fact that it was the biggest selling song never to reach #1 because there was an interesting story behind it holding that record.

Yeah, there's some uncertainty as to whether 'Everything She Wants' should hold that title now, but OCC are saying it's 'Moves Like Jagger' & I would agree with them there. :)

With a 36 year gap I believe they have now broken the record for longest duration between original release of a song and reaching #1, so they have a new record to their name!

That's right! :D
