Cheryl Cole shatters the Spice Girls’ thirteen-year-old record, making “Fight For This Love” the longest-running Number 1-single of all time!

In 1996, the Spice Girls released the biggest hit of all time with “Wannabe”. The single spent eleven non-consecutive weeks at Number 1, launched the Spice Girls as a global phenomenon and paved the way for future Number 1s, such as “2 Become 1”, “Who Do You Think You Are” and “Spice Up Your Life”. Their debut “Wannabe” remains their highest-scoring hit to date with over 190,000 points. “Wannabe” also claimed some big records on this chart, as the debut record is the highest-scoring hit of all time and the longest-running Top 40-hit of all time. “Wannabe” also held the record for Single with the Most Weeks at Number 1 for more than thirteen years, that is, until Cheryl Cole broke the Spice Girls’ record today. Chezza’s “Fight For This Love” enters its twelfth week at Number 1 this week, making her debut solo single the longest-running Number 1-hit of all time. The Spice Girls have had an incredible run though and still hold many other records.
