Oh well, is it that I'm behind in the playlists and just aren't listening to the songs enough, is it that my playlists have grown? Anyway, I just haven't really got into anything in the last few weeks and after what was the greatest start ever to the year I'm starting to actually get a bit disappointed.
So I didn't really expect The Apartment to stay on top as long as 4 weeks but all the good challengers were already there and got stuck behind it and nothing particularly new has come along so far.
Earlier in the year Mika replaced the Fratellis at #1 and had Baby Fratelli gone to the top that might have been repeated. I don't think Love Today is anywhere near the quality of Grace Kelly, probably isn't as good as some songs earlier this year that didn't reach #1. Still it's fairly catchy, a bit more Scissor Sisters this time than Queen. Don't plan to buy the album yet though. Not sure I could take a whole album's worth of falsetto. I can't even recall the last time an artist put their first two singles at NM #1. The last time any artist managed 2 in a row at all was Belle & Sebastian at the beginning of 2006.
Looking down as far as #49 we have the Mark Ronson & Daniel Merriweather cover of the Smiths' "Stop Me" (originally called Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before). That might have been a big hit for them had they released it - having just recently announced their split, but they didn't release it as a single because of a line about mass-murder and a recent mass-shooting incident at the time, so they released the inferior "I Started Something I Couldn't Finish". By reaching #2 in the UK chart it beats Morrissey's best peak of #3 but a #1 still eludes him. The only previous Morrissey cover to reach the NM #1 was "Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself", a song originally on Morrissey's "Vauxhall & I" album, covered by the Killers and jointly listed with their hit "All These Things That I Have Done" which remains their biggest hit to date, peaking at #3 in 2004.

Although it is a case that I dont know about 40-60 of them.
