Apparently
Peter Van De Veire has now earned a place in the world record books, beating by two hours the previous holder by presenting continuously for
185 hours!
I listened only to the three hours of the marathon in which the chart show would normally have aired - and those featured only hits from the current chart, in pretty much the right order, with most of the bottom thirty followed by all of the top twenty! Coincidence? I think not......
I also wrote:A few weeks ago, Benny wrote:10 ---- 01 WHISTLE - FLO RIDA (A14/CH15/F5/NL2)
I think chances are not bad that this one will be a future number one...
This coming week, I suspect that's quite likely - I would be surprised if Loreen manages to hold up well in enough countries to stay on top for a third week, and "Whistle" seems best placed to overtake her.....
Now it's time to find out if our predictions were correct.....
Belgium again have one of the greatest presences in the Europarade - thirteen of the current top fifteen - but so too have Austria and Switxerland, including all of their top tens. R.I.O. featuring Nicco have a re-entry scoring in both those countries - while continued success in Spain also brings back Paulina Rubio. Meanwhile, the strongest of five brand new arrivals this week are a debut with "Endless Summer" for Oceana (a previous release, "Cry Cry" was a Eurobuster for five weeks, but didn't quite reach the Europarade) and a fourth solo hit, and a sixth in total, for Cheryl, formerly known as Cheryl Cole. But which of these has replaced Alex Clare in the top ten? And do we have a new number one this week? In a very close battle this time, just ONE point separates the top two. Has Loreen managed to cling on to pole position - or has someone beaten her by a whisker, or anything else beginning with "whis---".....?
