Revision as of 12:53, 23 May 2017

The following is a list of songs that have charted for 50 weeks or more in total on the UK Singles Chart according to the Official Charts Company (OCC).[1] The chart here is as recorded by the OCC, i.e. usually a top 50 from 1960 to 1978, top 75 from then until 1982 and top 100 from 1983 onwards. To be eligible the song has to be the original version whether it be by re-entry or re-issue. Remixes do not count except under certain circumstances (see "Blue Monday" below).

With 166 weeks each, the two songs with the most weeks in the top 100 are "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol and "Mr Brightside" by the Killers.[2][3] When only a top 50 was compiled, Frank Sinatra's "My Way" set records which still stand: 122 weeks in the top 50 between April 1969 and January 1972, 75 weeks in the top 40,[4] and 124 weeks in the top 75, including a re-release in 1994, following a Legend Award for Sinatra at that year's Grammy Awards.[5]

The longest unbroken run in the top 100 is 95 weeks for "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran. Engelbert Humperdinck's "Release Me" held the record run in the top 50 for over 40 years[6] until beaten by "All of Me" by John Legend with 58 consecutive weeks in the top 50 (since passed by "Thinking Out Loud" with 63 weeks). The song with the most weeks at number 1 and in the top 10 is "I Believe" by Frankie Laine which stayed in the top 10 for 35 weeks, 18 of them at number one and a further seven at number two. Also noteworthy is "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley & His Comets, the only song released in the 1950s to appear in the lists, which achieved 36 of its weeks when only a top 20 or top 30 were published.

In the pre-digital era, Christmas-themed songs were often re-released in different years and several have continued to chart each year from the mid-noughties onwards. "Merry Xmas Everybody" by Slade has had 21 chart runs in 23 different years (1973–74, 1980–87, 1989–1990 and 2006–2016), while "Fairytale of New York" by the Pogues and Kirsty MacColl has reached the top 10 four times and spent a record 45 weeks in its thirteen runs in the top 20. In a similar but more modest way, since 2007, "Thriller" by Michael Jackson[7] and "Ghostbusters" by Ray Parker, Jr.[8] have charted at Halloween in ten and eight years, respectively.

The numbers shown are up to the chart for week ending 27 April 2017.

Songs with 50 or more weeks in the Top 40

The Top 40 chart has been broadcast weekly on BBC Radio 1 (currently as The Official Chart) since the 1980s and is often referred to as 'the charts'. Appearing in the Top 40 can greatly increase a song's exposure on television and radio. In June 2015, "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran became the first song to stay in the Top 40 for 52 consecutive weeks—equivalent to one year,[9] having spent a record-breaking 18 weeks in the chart before reaching number one.[10]

Notable singles

"Blue Monday"

New Order's 'Blue Monday' includes the remixed version of the original, which was finally made available on 45 for the first time in 1988 with almost the same catalogue number; sales for this shorter version and the original were combined when calculating its chart position. The second remix, from 1995, charted for four weeks but is excluded from this list.[130]

"Merry Xmas Everybody"

In addition to Slade's total of 86 weeks in the top 100 for 'Merry Xmas Everybody', they also had two remixes of the song not counted because they were re-recorded with other artists. The first, from 1980, was credited to Slade and the Reading Choir; the second, from 1998, was credited to Slade vs Flush.[131]

"I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday"
