[kingLUKE22]

Because I only have a top 20, managing to stay on the chart for more than 25 weeks is a major accomplishment. And also because I don't have my archives completed yet, I'll just be listing songs that hit #1 (since barely any song that didn't hit #1 stayed on the chart for longer than 25 weeks).

No song lasts more than 10 charts (20 weeks) on my chart, unless they re-enter, and only one song has done that - "Millennium" by Robbie Williams in 1999 (12 charts).

DEFAULT - Taking My Life Away

[[upsilon]™]

Like KingLUKE22, most of my songs don't last long enough on my countdown (the minimum average is about 3 to 4 weeks to songs that have reached the Top 10 and above). Many don't last for 3 weeks, and are thus replaced by debuts and newcomers.

Songs that have passed the 8 week milestone are in no specific order:

White Flag-Dido
How Did You Know-Mynt f/ Kim Sozzi
Hey Ya!-Andre 3000 (OutKast)
Toxic-Britney Spears
Beautiful-Christina Aguilera
I'm Gonna Get'cha Good-Shania Twain
Cry Me A river-Justin Timberlake
I'm With You-Avril Lavigne
Dumb Girls-Lucy Woodward
The Trouble With Me-Lucy Woodward
All The Things She Said-T.a.T.u
Unwell-matchbox 20
Somewhere Only We Know-Keane
Crickets Sing For Annamaria-Emma Bunton
In My Dreams-Tina Ann
Can't Get Yout Outta My Head-Kylie Minogue
Red Blooded Woman-Kylie Minogue
Fallen-Sarah McLachlan
Devils And Angels-Toby Lightman
Dip It Low-Christina Milian
Get By-Talib Kweli
A Sorta Fairytale-Tori Amos
Don't Know Why-Norah Jones
No More Drama-Mary J. Blige

Now that I see, several HAVE passed that limit...hmm, hah.

Ditto. But even still, you have more that lasted longer than I do. (Of course, you've also had a chart longer. )

After checking my archives, it seems that I should list those that have at least reached 20 weeks on - otherwise, I'd have a very short list.

To save some time typing, here's a link to all the songs that have been on the chart for 30 weeks or more. 113 songs have currently fit the criteria (29 of those occuring in the top 40 era). I name the longevity milestone as the "Kajagoogoo Award," named after the 80's one hit wonder. If an song has reached 30 weeks on the chart, it would be said that the song went "kajagoogoo" on the Chart Named Goo chart.

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

I always considered having some sort of an award for weeks on for my chart. I think it's neat! Maybe I could introduce something with some sort of criteria like X weeks in the top 100 + Y weeks in the Top 40 + Z weeks in the Top 20.
