Here's Someone Like You's chart run:
36-25-18-13-10-8-4-1-1-1-2-2-6-9-12-13-20-27-25-33-36-40
May 08 (Debut) - October 02 (We still don't know about next week)
22 weeks, 10 weeks in the top 10 in a top 40 chart is AMAZING.
'
Rolling in the Deep' didn't do well in the chart and peaked only at 7. (I really do not like the song that much so..
)
'
Set Fire to the Rain' struggled to go to number 1 and just peaked at 2 for 2 non consecutive weeks.
I will be having a Year End chart on December 31 and I'm sure that Someone Like You will chart high.
I re-looked my previous charts to let you see how amazing 'Someone Like You' did. I did put it too early in my chart though and in the first page of my chart there are rules.. A song can only stay in my playlist for 3 months (I can still extend it if I want to and I extended Someone Like You for 2 weeks before I removed it. The song will be removed in my playlist but it will continue charting. It MAY free fall but if I still play it frequently it could steadily chart. But in my chart the maximum allotted for a song to be in the chart is 6 months. If they are still charting after 6 months, then the song will retire.
What's My Name [Rihanna & Drake], Hold It Against Me [Britney Spears], Till The World Ends [Britney Spears] & If You Ever Come Back [The Script] are so far the only retirees this year). Someone Like You is slated to retire on October 18, let's see if she could do it.
Shake Me Down shall retire next week.
