It does seem to have slightly passed its peak, but it&#8217;s so far ahead of everything else that it&#8217;s likely to stay here for a while to come.<\/p>\n<p>This is the chart that came out on Friday 6 November, and it covers the chart week from Friday 30 October to Thursday 5 November. That means it has the peak of the Hallowe&#8217;en streaming, which is enough to get a bunch of tracks into the top 40, even though there are almost no worthwhile Hallowe&#8217;en tracks. (Join us again next week when the first signs of the Christmas influx arrive.) The top placed is <strong>&#8220;Thriller&#8221; by Michael Jackson<\/strong>, which climbs to an all-time peak of number 5, but it was already in the charts. Let&#8217;s run down the others, all of which will be making one-week stays.<\/p>\n<p><strong>12.

But there are only two other Hallowe&#8217;en tracks in the top 100. One is &#8220;Zombie&#8221; by the Cranberries at number 83 (one place below &#8220;All I Want For Christmas Is You&#8221;, god help us). And the other is this one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>39.
