The Longest Reigning No.1 Singles In Big Top 40 History #OWNED
On the 18th December 2016, Brits Critic's Choice award winner Rag'N'Bone Man knocked Louis Tomlinson and Steve Aoki's 'Just Hold On' off the No.1 spot after just a week in pole position.
This has left us ALL wondering who exactly is going to emerge one week later at the top.

Let's have a look at all the contenders then shall we?
Current No.1: Rag'N'Bone Man - 'Human'
Against all the odds, Rag'N'Bone Man scored the Vodafone Big Top 40 No1 last weekend, beating out the likes of Matt Terry, Louis Tomlinson and ZAYN. It has been a crazy end of 2016 for the singer after his song 'Human' (which was released a LONG time ago) rocketed into the top 40. Can he top off 2016 with the jewel in the Christmas crown?

Yes, this is happening. The 1964 hit is back and in a very big way. Football fans of both Scottish team Rangers and Crystal Palace are pushing Dave Clark Five's legendary hit all the way to the top in a bid to make their own little piece of chart history. And you know what...it might just work.
