THE WEEKND'S "BLINDING LIGHT" BECOMES JUST THE THIRD TRACK IN UK CHART HISTORY TO SPEND A WHOLE CALENDAR YEAR ON THE CHART

With the Weeknd's massive Number One single "Blinding Lights" remaining on the UK Singles chart for a 56th week this week, it becomes just the third track in UK chart history to spend the whole of a calendar year inside the Top 75.

It first entered the chart on 12th December 2019 at Number 12, eventually spending the first of 8 (non-consecutive) weeks at Number 1 on the 13th February 2020.

The other two tracks to achieve this rare feat both achieved it in 2014.  First up Pharrell Williams' "Happy" first entered the chart on the 7th December 2013 at Number 71, hitting the top spot for the first of 4 (non-consecutive) weeks on 4th January 2014.  It would spend its last week on the listing on 4th April 2015 at Number 73.

Also first charting in December 2013 (21st at Number 67), Idina Menzel's "Let It Go" (from the movie "Frozen"), would also spend the whole of 2014 on the chart, spending its last week on the chart on the 28th February 2015 at Number 68.

So here is Mr Weeknd with "Blinding Lights".
