+davidcalgary29 #1 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scooterb23 #7 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nukey Shay #13 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xot #20 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
