Topped UK Singles Chart for nine weeks

In the United Kingdom, “Crazy” became the first ever single to top the UK Singles Chart purely on download sales as it was released online a week before it was released as a CD single. It was also the first single to top the UK Singles Chart for nine weeks consecutively since 1994 when Wet Wet Wet ‘s ” Love Is All Around ” was number one for fifteen weeks (the last song to spend exactly nine weeks on top was “Two Tribes” by Frankie Goes to Hollywood in 1984). It has also equaled the Queen 1975 classic ” Bohemian Rhapsody “, which also topped the UK Singles Chart for nine weeks. Gnarls Barkley announced that as the record had spent its ninth week at number one, it was to be deleted as a vinyl/CD listing from May 28, 2006, so people will “remember the song fondly and not get sick of it”. “Crazy” is also the longest number-one on the UK Official Download Chart with its stay lasting eleven consecutive weeks. In late 2009 the song was voted as the best song of the decade by Rolling Stone magazine. It also peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the charts in the Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and several other countries.
