In October 2011, Bella-May rebounded twenty-six positions from #37 to #11 with her former #1 single, "Hooker On A Church Corner". In September 2008, Stacy Hart entered at #36 on downloads with "Starcrossed" and climbed twenty-five positions to #11 the week after. Later that month, It's Not Over Until The Fat Lady Sings entered at #38 on downloads only with their cover of Putanovska's "Bitch In Heat", also climbing twenty-five positions to #13 the week after. Sophie Ramone somewhat surprisingly could only limp in at #38 with her single "The Gardener", featuring Kelly, in February 2005. However, after being severely overlooked in its first week, the sales picked up the following week, and the single climbed no less than twenty-four places to a new peak at #14! If climbs from outside the top 40 are included, Duo missed the top 40 in their first week, only reaching #41 with their only single "Every Time". The following week, it climbed thirty-four places to reach #7! On the album chart, Syd Wolfe climbed from #40 to #1 with her album Big Bad Wolfe on August 23, 2009. On the download chart, SARA! jumped from #20 to #1 with her single "Music Everywhere" on September 2nd, 2012. Biggest chart drop

In April 2009, Christine Tyler dropped 28 places from #11 to #39 with her single Revolver. Biggest climb to #1

Jon Farley's "Dirt Bomb Bang Bang!" debuted at #21 on downloads, and climbed twenty places up to #1 the following week. Shell Ruin and Jack Stevens' "In For The Kill" debuted at #19 on downloads, and rose to #1 the following week. Biggest fall from #1

Kandi fell from #1 to #14 with "Nothing But The Video On", following her second week at #1. Luke Ramada fell from #1 to #7 with "My Friends Are My Estate" a week after its debut at #1. Longest time to peak

Sophie Ramone originally debuted at #21 with her debut single "Luv Me". In her eighth week, however, she set a new peak of #18! Meli Kleindienst achieved a new peak of #26 with her download-only single "Sorry Doesn't Fit My Suit" in its seventh week on the chart. Most charting members of one family

The Simmonds family have spawned three chart-topping acts. Ryan Simmonds is of course the biggest, but his wife Jessika Berqvist-Simmonds (from Gasp) has also been #1, and later his long lost sister Charlie Simmonds hit the top with "Burning Up". Tom Fletcher, his wife Malena and adopted daughter Robin have also all had top 2 hits. In addition, Robin's birth mother Neyssa, Neyssa's ex-wife Alesha, Alesha's ex-husband Ben Parker and Ben's half-sister Sophie Ramone have also had their own hits. Alesha's stepsister Phoebe Halliwell is also a member of rock band Innocent. Candi and her brother Chase Elite have both earned themselves #1 singles. Their brother Jamie has had a top 2 hit as a member of boyband Difused. The family's pet dog Babycakes has also had minor chart success. Brothers Nick Edwards and Mark Edwards both had hit singles in 2001. Esmeralda Dimuzio's sister, Olivia Dimuzio had her own top five hit in 2006. Emma Brown's younger brother Nate Brown also reached the top five. Natasha Hilton and Grace Hilton have both released singles. Sisters Ami Yuki and Tika Yuki have both earned top 5 hits. London and Cindy Star have both earned #1s. Lucreacia and younger sister Nikki have 20 #1s between them. Syd Wolfe and her brother Taylor have both had #1 singles & albums. Antony Jones, Chris Jones, James Jones, Matt Jones, Damien Jones, Alicia Jones and Anna Jones have all had top ten hits - but sadly they aren't related! Calvin Jones, however, is Anna's brother. Violetta DiNozzo and Victor Strong of Phoenix Rising have each charted solo #1 hits; while bearing different surnames, they are in fact half-siblings due to sharing a mother. In a somewhat different case Alexei Monaghan has charted in the top 10 with Phoenix Rising while his brothers Sylar and Raphael charted in the top 10 as part of Schizophonic. Alexei was part of both groups however. Putanovska's younger sibling, post-op transsexual Bichastasia earned a top ten in 2010. Putanovska has also been married to Chris Jones and Ryan Dawson. Edna Albaquerque's side project Project Albaquerque contained at one point her brother, mother and two of her daughters, totalling 5 members of her family. Her alleged daughters Dakota Rain and Just Ginger have also had several top 10 hits. Dakota's daughter Bronagh has had success with Gingers+Jesus. The Albaquerque clan therefore has spawned 8 musicians. Most solo careers from one band

London, Lianna, Lola Elle, and Cindy Star of Venom have all charted as solo artists. All three members of Gasp (Jessika, Kelli and Ciara) have had top ten hits by themselves. Between them, they have amassed an amazing 26 top 40 hits! D', Nadia Walker, and MC Labels (all from Mars/Venus) have charted with their own singles. Paul Walters, Ryan Starrlet and Gemma of Tainted Desire have all had solo hits. Kenya, Saffiyah and LaTreasa of Tiger Tiger have all released solo singles. Victor Strong, James Moss and Alexei Monaghan have all charted outside of their group, Phoenix Rising. Most collaborative singles

Alesha is in first, having collaborated with 14 different acts on 18 single releases: 4tune (twice), Larynx Trasher, Kandi, CeCe Winston, Neyssa (twice), Sarah Summers, Ben Parker, Josie Matthews, Buffi, Shell Ruin (twice), Taylor Brookes, Putanovska (twice), Ryan Dawson and Indigo Peak. If you include appearances on Amy Marshall's "Bang!", DAMNED's "Hard To Find Something Nice To Say", TWISTED DISCO!'s "Neon Milkshake (Wot U Gon' Do?)", Jack Stevens' "Keep Calm & Blow", and Candi's "Gold" along with China, Emily Henning and Romo appearing on "The Pretty Ones", there are 22 different acts. MC Labels from Mars/Venus has teamed up with 13 different acts: A:OK, Edna Albaquorque, Alicia, Pinky Bob, Ella Crawford, Miss Drips, Mark B, Phoenix, RoXie, Sapphire, SHY, Sarah Summers, and Tricity. One Timers are in third. They have collaborated with 12 different acts - Melanie Chi, Ryan Simmonds, Brandi Williams, Amalia, Abby Marin, Emma Brown, Holly, ex.one, Anna Summers, Tara Milano, Tamika and Chris Jones. Other achievements

In June 2009, Sophie Ramone became the first act to have at least one single peak in every position in the top 10 when "Coming Up For Air" debuted at #3. Kazimiera joined the club in May 2012 when Hey Lucy!/Never The Bride reached #1. While Morris David Cat lacks a #4 as a lead artist, he did feature on a #4 hit by Flaming SteffY. In April 2010, Paulo Araujo placed Falso Amor, sung in Portuguese, at #1, marking the first time a foreign language song topped the Uraps Singles Chart. Azriel holds the record for most acts to hit #1; having previously tied the record, in August 2012 he scored #1 singles with two separate acts to extend his lead to 7 acts. These include Phoenix Rising, Violetta DiNozzo, Dresden & Bareilles, Victor Strong, Arianna DiCorso, James Moss and Veronica Nightshade. Previously he was tied with Michael (Romo, Luke Ramada, Christine Tyler, Amy Marshall, and It's Not Over Until The Fat Lady Sings) and Tom (Sleazy Sisters, DAMNED, Carl Reeves, Lindsay Belle and Mark Charlie Wilson), who each have managed five acts that earned at least one #1 single. These artists have gone from a DNC single to reach #1 later in their careers: CeCe Winston, Aloud, Morris David Cat, Putanovska, Shell Ruin, Helena Rossi, 4tune and Hailey. The latter two had reached #1, then had a DNC and came back to reach #1 years later!
