which song holds the record for the longest overall/non consecutive spell at number 1 in Uk chart history?

 

[M21MFS]

I'd be guessing either Bryan Adams - Everything I do or Wet Wet Wet - Love is all around.

 

[muppet42]

Guessing from the "non-consecutive" part of the question that it's maybe been at No1 more than once...hmm. Okay, I'll go for Imagine by John Lennon (was at No1 when I was born btw )

 

[mrcinquecento]

all wrong so far

 

[M21MFS]

Ah. Skimmed right past that minor detail.

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody?

 

[mrcinquecento]

nope

 

[imported_Jodie]

I stil reckon its boh raphsody

 

[mrcinquecento]

I stil reckon its boh raphsody

i've already said it isn't

Bohemian Rhapsody is second in the non consecutive chart having spent 14 weeks in total at number 1, it's only 4th longest number one in the overall chart though

Bryan adams and wet wet wet are at 2 and 3 overall spent 15 and 16 weeks at the top, Bryan Adams 16 consecutive weeks being record stretch at Number 1.

the longest serving overall number one was there for 18 non consecutive weeks, got knocked off top spot twice and ended up number one again weeks later...the ones knocking it off the top must have been awful :laugh:

I will always love you, whitney

 

[mrcinquecento]

I will always love you, whitney

im sure she's delighted to hear that :laugh:

but nope

 

[lkc]

Trying to remember if Adele's Someone Like You stayed at no 1 for 18 weeks or if it only felt that long

 

[gengis]

Frankie goes to Hollywood - Pleasuredome..?

 

[lkc]

Frankie goes to Hollywood - Pleasuredome..?

Wasn't it Relax that stayed at no 1 for ages.

And all because Mike Read took offence to it and got it banned from R1 IIRC

 

[imported_Jodie]

I believe

 

[lkc]

I believe

Lol, I doubt Tears for Fears were ever in with a chance for this record (pun not intended). Don't think it was even released as a single.

Cher's single "Believe" however might be as it was awful enough. I'm guessing that's what you meant

 

[mrcinquecento]

I believe

i believe we have a winner

 

[lkc]

Never even heard of it as you can probably tell. Had to use the power of google to check it out :laugh:

I like it when it's questions I haven't a hope in hell of knowing the answer to. Keep 'em like that please

 

[imported_Jodie]

Yeah i had to google the answer too. Like any pub quiz the power of smartphones lol

Harper u put up a good line of guesses pick the next question hun

 

[lkc]

Not gonna happen. I only join in when I'm either fairly certain I have no chance of getting it right or get hassled to post the answer

Sorry Jodie, you have to set the next question cos it's the rules

 

[imported_Jodie]
