The track shows no signs of slowing down. Its closest competitor is Lewis Capaldi
Iconic 2003 track Mr Brightside by the Killers has usurped Wonderwall by British band Oasis as the longest-running song in the UK top 100 chart without ever actually claiming the number one spot. According to the Official Charts Company, Mr Brightside’s 5.57 million combined sales and streams also makes it the UK’s third biggest song of all time.
Mr Brightside has spent an eye-watering 408 weeks – seven years – in the UK top 100. Its closest competitor is Lewis Capaldi’s Someone You Loved, which trails behind at 234 weeks in the top 100. “It’s amazing that I had something to do with it, but I almost feel a little bit removed from it because it’s so big.”
In 2024, Mr Brightside is accelerating further still with average combined weekly sales and streams up 23% year-on-year. The song’s biggest week to date in the UK was July 2019, when it clocked up 17,700 chart units following the band’s headline Glastonbury set.
