I can name a few:
Calvin Harris featuring Ne-Yo - "Let's Go". Kept off by Carly Rae Jepsen - "Call Me Maybe". Really? The Saturdays - "Missing You". Kept off by Flo Rida featuring David Guetta - "Club Can't Handle Me". Second time The Saturdays were robbed of a number one by Flo Rida. 5 Seconds Of Summer - "Don't Stop". Kept off by Ella Henderson - "Ghost". Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera - "Moves Like Jagger". Kept off by Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris - "We Found Love". Calvin Harris featuring Kelis - "Bounce". Kept off by Example - "Changed The Way You Kiss Me". Bruno Mars - "Locked Out Of Heaven". Kept off by One Direction - "Little Things". Really? Amelia Lily - "You Bring Me Joy". Kept off by The Script featuring will.i.am - "Hall Of Fame". One Direction - "Story Of My Life". Kept off by Eminem featuring Rihanna - "The Monster". Third time One Direction were robbed of a number one by Rihanna. |

Nicole Scherzinger - "Boomerang". Kept off by Justin Timberlake - "Mirrors"
The Vamps - "Can We Dance". Kept off by OneRepublic - "Counting Stars" Bastille - "Of The Night". Kept off by Lily Allen - "Somewhere Only We Know". How embarrassing? Zedd featuring Hayley Williams - "Stay The Night". Kept off by Clean Bandit featuring Jess Glynne - "Rather Be" 50 Cent featuring Eminem & Adam Levine - "My Life". Kept off by will.i.am featuring Britney Spears - "Scream & Shout". Unfair |

David Guetta featuring Sam Martin - "Lovers On The Sun" is #1 on today's Chart Update. Although Taylor Swift - "Shake It Off" reached #1 on UK iTunes today, this means that "Lovers On The Sun" could be another Chart Update #1 which misses the top spot this Sunday.

I remember Mariah Carey - We Belong Together but trying to think of the song that prevented it from staying at number 1.

I'm not so convinced that Shake It Off will manage it, but it's got #2 pretty much secured imo. |

Also I think Foundations by Kate Nash was a midweek #1 but lost out to Rihanna's Umbrella in its final week at #1. Then it got denied #1 by Timbaland's The Way I Are which was also a close battle for #1 iirc. Madonna - American Life was also a midweek #1 but lost out to Room 5's Make Luv on the Saturday. |

It does make me laugh though that Duke Dumont pushed back his release a week to avoid competition with 'Prayer In C' and essentially secure the number 1, and yet he could end up as low as #3. |

There's also a chance 'Prayer In C' could clinch a second week; it's very close to The Script on iTunes and far outperforming them on streaming. I imagine it'll be a small winning margin no matter the outcome.

Lilly Wood have nabbed the #1 spot on iTunes so this means that they could keep #1 for another week.

Yep, pretty much this. Prayer In C is in a very strong position now to remain #1 on Sunday.

I think Born This Way was a midweek number one at one point, but got overtaken by Adele after her Brits performance. I definitely remember that Adele came from behind, but I can't quite remember if Gaga was originally number one. |

I think one of those weeks, Kate missed out on the number one by something ridiculous like 16 copies.

The Darkness' Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End) was all set to be Xmas No1 but was pipped by the Michael Andrews version of Mad World. Shame as it is pretty much the last time a big name act went all out for Xmas no1 with a brand new Xmas song.
