2. 30: Joint number of appearances for Taylor Swift & Sam Smith.

You have been rocking out to 'Shake It Off' and weeping to 'I'm Not The Only One' for a LONG time. Both tracks have now each notched up 30 weeks in the chart.

3. 6: Chart places Kanye West's 'All Day' rose on Sunday's show.

This made it the highest rising track of the week. It won't be long now until 'So Help me God' is released. We're going to be listening to it…all day (sorry).

4. 2: Years since Mumford & Sons released any new material.

Their debut single 'Believe' from third album 'Wilder Mind' charted at an impressive No.25 only half a week after it's release.

5. 3: Songs by artists who found their fame on a TV talent show.

Can you name all three? No? Okay, it's Olly Murs with 'Up', Kelly Clarkson with 'Heartbeat Song' and G.R.L with 'Lighthouse'.

6. 5: Number of No.1s so far in 2015.

Sam Smith and John Legend's 'Lay Me Down' follows in the steps of 'Uptown Funk', 'King'. 'Love Me Like You Do' and 'GDFR'.

7. 8: Places 'Budapest' fell.

It's not exactly band news for George Ezra though, it has been in the top 40 now for 24 WEEKS! Picture: Getty

8. 36: Weeks 'Thinking Out Loud' has been in the chart.

This is now the song with the most appearances in the Vodafone Big Top 40. Only Sam Smith & Taylor Swift come anywhere near as close with 30 weeks each.

9. 628: TOTAL combined appearances of all the songs in the chart.

If you have tuned in EVERY week to the show then you deserve a round of applause, that is a LOT of music to listen to.

10. 6: Number of new entries on Sunday's chart.

Apart from Sam Smith & John Legend at No.1 the second highest new entry was Calvin Harris & Haim collaboration 'Pray To God'.
