It may be 1 April, but the Official Charts Company can confirm this is not actually a joke.
Mr Brightside by The Killers continues to prove itself the chart hit that can’t be kept down. This week the track logs a record-breaking 260th non-consecutive week – or a full FIVE YEARS - on the Official UK Singles Chart Top 100, according to Official Charts Company records.
No song in UK chart history has notched up anywhere near as many weeks in the Top 100 - the closest is Snow Patrol’s 2006 Top 10 hit Chasing Cars, at 166 weeks.
Mr Brightside has become the stuff of legend on the Official Chart. The indie-pop anthem spent just four weeks in the Top 100 upon its original 2004 release, peaking at Number 10. The years since have seen it become a staple at many a party or club night, helping it rack up lots of streams and downloads every week.
