Gnarls Barkley’s hit Crazy has become the first single for 12 years to spend eight weeks at the top of the UK singles chart. The US hip-hop duo have now become the 20th act to spend at least two months at number one.

Following its release as a digital download in the UK on March 13, 2006, the song debuted at the number one spot on the UK Official Download Chart on March 22, 2006 – As new chart rules now also allowed a song to chart the UK Singles Chart based on their download sales if a physical equivalent is released the following week, “Crazy” became the first number one single based on download sales alone (selling over 31,000 times that week), on April 2 with the CD single being released one day later.

In the following weeks the single entered multiple single charts throughout Europe, including the German, the Swedish, the Austrian and the Irish Singles Charts, and the Dutch Top 40, resulting in a number two position on Billboard’s Eurochart Hot 100 Singles.

The last track to stay on top for eight weeks was Wet Wet Wet’s Love Is All Around – which went on to spend 15 weeks at number one in 1994.
