Nickelback could set chart record with Rockstar at number one

Nickelback's 'Rockstar' could top the singles chart after 18 weeks, a record for the longest run before reaching number one.

Nickelback's 'Rockstar' could well be number one in the singles chart this Sunday which is fun for chart trivia fans because it will be the longest a chart topper has been in the charts before going top, if that makes sense. ie this will be the single's 18th week in the chart, and that's the longest a single has been in the chart before going number one. The current holder of that record is Celine Dion's 'Think Twice' which was in the chart for 14 weeks before going top. The Nickelback song is ahead of current number one Basshunter in the midweek charts.
