+davidcalgary29 Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Who currently holds the record on Billboard magazine's "Hot 100" chart for having the longest consecutive run at the #2 position -- without ever hitting the top spot? The first person to respond correctly in this thread will win: A copy of "SwordQuest: Earthworld" for the 2600! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooterb23 Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Well...that's a hint there isn't it?? Well, I can think of another song...but I'm sure it hit #1... I'll try again with Whitney Houston's - "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorlaxnut Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Well it's time for me to try to win another game. Waiting For a Girl Like You - Foreigner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukey Shay Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 I don't understand...it looks like he won. What are you looking for? The duration at #2? 10 weeks. The song that prevented it from reaching #1? Olivia Newton-John's "Physical". Ties don't exist for records...those who do it first hold the record.

Xot Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 You also didn't specify single or album. If it were album, it would be Def Leppard's Pyromania, which was at #2 pretty much the entire time Thriller was at #1. 'Course, not like I need another copy of SwordWaste.

Not to split hairs or anything, but Billboard's "Hot 100" chart tracks only singles. I should ask a "Billboard 200" (album) question, though...just to make it tougher for Brett.
