38 DAYS TO GO:
#38 was the position 'Til The End' by Haven reached in 2002, a year after making #6. It is one of 15 songs to have reached the chart in 2 different years. That number is likely to increase this year, with some of last year's top 100 being re-released.

36 DAYS TO GO:
#36 in 1995 were the Inspiral Carpets with 'I Want You'. The song was a re-issue of a song originally released featuring the vocals of Mark E. Smith. As the band's chart career was mainly before 1995, this was their only entry in the chart. Clint Boon reached the chart in 1998 with 'White No Sugar'.

I Want You was 1994 though, even the version with Mark E Smith.
I actually think the regular album version is better.
Clint Boon's "White No Sugar" didn't appear in my chart of the year until 1999, a year in which he had the #1, #3 and #6 singles. In 2000 he had the #9 and #14 singles, while Inspiral Carpets had my #4 single of 2003.

34 DAYS TO GO:
#34 in 1999 was 'Writing To Reach You' by Travis. It was the highest of 4 songs they had in the chart that year and is the most songs any act has had in the chart in one year. Other acts to accomplish this are Radiohead, Manic Street Preachers, Super Furry Animals (twice), Elbow and most recently, The Coral.

32 DAYS TO GO:
Perhaps the rarest single to reach my chart was 'Running Girl' by Ooberman, which was #32 in 2001. It was a vinyl-only single, of which less than 1000 were made, I believe. It was only available through the band's official site.
