DSB leaves UK Hot 100 after 66 consecutive weeks

[Don]

A great run. Ironically the same week that a lot of Journey news hit the UK, the song finally lost some steam. Amazing that it stayed as long as it did without any promotion but there where rumblings on some of the British music forums that the song had been overplayed and needed to go away with a lot of people burnt out on the Glee version too.

It could very well return next week but its chances of maintaining a continuous presence on the chart again, week in and week out is probaby over.

The band doesn't to have contributed any new material on the upcoming Tron Legacy soundtrack but maybe Separate Ways can get a nice run going on the charts again.

I am LMAO...66 weeks on the uk charts for a song that has, obviously, stood the test of time. In the 30 years since it was written it has become a theme song for sports teams, has been played in the movies and on TV ...'ol Neal makes one trip over there to collects an award...opens his trap and kills it, kills DSB dead..

What a brilliant point. Neal goes over for some love, and poof, DSB is history. What a fuckin Tool Schon is.

I bet you my next load that if Perry were to have winged on over to London to accept that "award," instead of the guitar player, that song would have received a shot in the arm, guaranteed.

It's probably just outside the 100,it has been in the lower end of the 100 for a while and has had to compete with x factor related stuff,i.e. original versions of songs crucified on the x factor

I saw that Living On A Prayer and Nothing Compares to U are on the charts. A few weeks back More Than A Feeling was there too.

DSB will probably fluctuate on and off the chart for a few more weeks and finally be gone.

Neal Schon told BBC News that the recent success of "Don't Stop Believin''" being used in
The Sopranos and Glee is actually a mixed blessing for the band: "We really,
really don't want to be known for just one song ... "We think we have a lot more to offer than 'Don't
Stop Believin'' and hopefully this will open up the back catalogue a bit more." and then ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ytCEuuW2_A
Gunshot sound ...long whistle sound ...THUD!!

It's Reverse Midas Touch...when everything you touch turns to shit!

It's Reverse Midas Touch...when everything you touch turns to shit!

This explains a lot. He must have put his hands around Perry's throat before they recorded TBF.

Gotta say...that one is pretty funny!

Wow, it looks like Neal really did bring the kiss of death to DSB. I thought the award, along with the big tour announcemnet would propel the song back into the 90s or 80s on the chart but it didn't happen.

On another topic though, The Beatles have 10 (ten) songs all entering the chart this week. That is a telling tale about physical CD sales nearing death over their as the obvious sales increase here is all coming from iTunes.

Only 10 Beatle tunes? I am surprised the entire catalog wasn't hitting the charts(coming from Itunes). They are the biggest band known to man, you would think they would own the charts.

Beatles songs done on x factor this week,that would have no bearing on the chart though would it

As long as the X-Factor doesn't start releasing cover albums like Glee.

Is that what is helping songs from Bon Jovi, Sinead O'Conner and Boston chart over the past weeks? Are those artists getting covered also?

Because of the instantaneous chart power of downloads,tv exposure of a song through the likes of x factor or as an advert song (more than a feeling springs to mind for the latter),a chart entry between position 100 and 50 can easily be achieved albeit briefly. DSB was a chart success because it was the first time 'the masses' had exposure to the original

Dude, have you ever heard of punctuation? Or maybe writing a semi fluid sentence? My 4 year old writes better than you.

Get it together Rook, or get the fuck outta here.

And feel free to lose that ridiculous gay signature picture. This is no place for that kind of shit.
