Why it's here

"Mr. Brightside" is a standing chart fixture rather than a news item: Guinness World Records certified it for the most cumulative weeks by any single song on the Official UK Singles Chart, and the longest stay by a group, at 416 weeks. [1] The song was first issued in 2003 in a limited run of 500 CDs and reissued in May 2004, when it peaked at No. 10 in the UK, and it has kept re-entering the Top 100 ever since. [2] Its return pattern is long documented by the Official Charts Company, which reported the track logging a record 260th non-consecutive week on the Top 100 with no new release behind it. [3]

Worldwide feeds · not markets

A source's own worldwide chart. These are feeds, not places, so they are kept out of the market count above.

City pickups

City charts record their parent country as the market, so these do not add to the market count above. One line per country: how many of its rooms picked the song up, and the best of them.
