There are a few things to note with the below list:<br><br>- After each song, I have also indicated when its Top 10 run occurred, as well as its peak position.<br>- ^^ means the song is currently in the Top 10, ie. its run is still going.<br>- ** means the song had non-consecutive runs in the Top 10<br>- For runs that transcended calendar years, I have included the Xmas/NY weeks that the charts were not published, as it would be safe to assume that the songs would have remained Top 10 during that period.<br>- I have started the base level at 16 weeks, as this is where the chart runs really start to become significant IMO (also it becomes more work to maintain if I go any lower!).<br><br>This is an ongoing project, so if you spot any errors or come across any songs that you believe should be in this list, send me a message and I can check it out for you.

November Rain hung around and actually moved up the charts again when Guns 'n' Roses toured Aust in Feb 1993. By that time the song was pretty much exhausted, but that is what helped to maintain its longevity. Apart from that, it's damn fine song. Re : "breathe" - not too sure. Perhaps someone else can explain. ...and yes, this is an awesome post. Next time a song starts to hit 18+ weeks in the Top10 we'll all be checking this post again.

Furthermore, the album(s) had been available for around a year by the time it entered the top 10, and the b-side was 'Sweet Child O'Mine' (+ 'Patience' on the CD single) - hardly an incentive for a GNR fan who surely already owned the albums to purchase it. That being said, looking at discogs.com, there were 2 separate 'limited' poster editions of the cassingle release in Australia, and also a limited 2-CD single set with a bonus 7-track 'promo' CD containing a combination of studio and live tracks in Australia.

There's also international influence poking through, "Someone You Loved" & "Truth Hurts" for instance having 2nd (or 3rd or 4th?) wind lining up with their US chart climbs.

The OCC in the UK did it 2 years ago and their chart has been a meaningless mess ever since (just this week "Sunflower" re-entered at #27 [highest it's been in 7 months] after dropping out at #58 3 weeks ago even though it's actually less popular than it was in those weeks it disappeared). There are always growing pains with a new format (see 2007 digital chart runs vs. 2013 digital chart runs), but I think the industry behind the scenes has more than enough power to fix it, they just choose not to. Radio needs to play more new music, Spotify curated playlists need to add more than 2 new songs per week (and not rely so heavily on proven hitmakers).</div></div></td></tr><tr><td class="text"><div style="width:108px;overflow:hidden"><a name="1426627"><a name="177"><script>tDate = new Date(2019, 8, 29, 6, 1, 48);writeDateTime(tDate);</script><noscript>29/09/2019 08:01</noscript><br><b><a href="members_search.asp?login=NateBoi">NateBoi</a></b><br>Member</div></td><td class="text"><div style="width:658px;overflow:hidden;" class="forumtext">There’s multiple reasons as to why we have a chart that’s slow paced and lacking in variety.<br>I’m about to go on a holiday so it won’t be until I return that I’ll post my thoughts and opinions.

The only exception I would think of is if a song was #1 before the chart break and stayed #1 upon resumption - we would safely assume with some certainty that that song was #1 throughout the holiday period. I wouldn’t be able to predict chart positions below with that same level, especially if a song fell out of the Top 10 when the charts resumed, as happened with Mariah.
