Anyone know of any statistics of the biggest drop from number one on the singles chart, the biggest in recent times was Mint royale - Singing In The Rain which fell from 1 to 8.

Got my fingers crossed JLS break the record.

HH - Everybody Hurts dropped 1-9, but that did spend two weeks at 1 so didn't drop directly as such, plus as a charity record it's of course going to have a weird chart run.

In terms of "normal" songs Pixie Lott's 1-6 drop with Boys & Girls last year was the biggest for a while, perhaps since Mint Royale even? Most songs fall from #1 to remain in the top 5

McFly have had a couple of rather epic drops I think. Although come to think about it Im not sure they were all number 1.

JLS have already beaten that.

In terms of the record I belive McFly may have dropped 1-20 in 2005-ish

Are you sure you're not getting confused with the age range of their fanbase?

Slightly better than the JLS range of 13-16.

Also Elvis Presley's 2005 reissue of One Night/I Got Stung fell from 1-20.

the McFly drops are not only a testament to the poor quality of their singles but also the way inwhich their singles get to number one - their HMV marketing campaigns and appeals to the simple minded young girls. How deserved!

Yes that is technically true, although there is an argument that it had a disadvantage that time round, because there were limited supplies of it in the shops, and it had been available before - neither of which applied to the McFly song
