In theory, the next target is Ed Sheeran&#8217;s &#8220;Bad Habits&#8221;, which had 11 weeks in 2021. But &#8220;Sprinter&#8221; is due to be hit by the downweighting rule next week, so in practical terms it has no prospect of getting there. The top three is all non-movers &#8211; in fact, there are six non-movers in the top 10 &#8211; so Billie Eilish has a reasonable shot of taking the number 1 by default next week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>20.

That means we can follow it up with a track with a nice familiar sample &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vsGsCvJWEo8\">&#8220;Walk On By&#8221;, which reached number 9 for Dionne Warwick in 1964<\/a>. Warwick&#8217;s biggest UK hit was actually &#8220;Heartbreaker&#8221;, which got to number 2 in 1982. &#8220;Walk On By&#8221; has also been a hit single for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WYkqLm9cM3Y\">the Stranglers (number 21 in 1978)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EhUXq55nOaE\">Sybil (number 6 in 1990)<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BxP1j7xwiMA\">Gabrielle (number 7 in 1997)<\/a>.

If we&#8217;re counting interrupted runs, it&#8217;s &#8220;Flowers&#8221;, which has had a total of 29 weeks in the top 40 with only a single week outside.<\/p>\n<p>On the album chart, it&#8217;s a busy top 10 and not much further down.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.
