Throwback Thursday : March Number 1's Of The Last 8 Years

Ever wondered what was topping the charts both in the UK and in the States this time last year, or the year, or the year before that. Well wonder no more, here is a list of the songs which took the No.1 spot in March since 2006 until the present day.

2006

In the UK and the US, it was Neyo at the top of the charts with this R&B classic which held its place for two weeks in both charts.

2007

Funnily enough, it was two girlbands who no longer exist that were are at the No. 1 spot in England this time last year. Girls Aloud and Sugababes joined forces for Comic Relief with this questionable remake of a hip-hop classic.

Opting for a slightly different chart sound, the US had this delightful rap song at No.1 which, again, is now by a band who remain a distant memory. In fact, are Mims officially a one hit wonder ?

2008

Yes, it was six years ago that everyone was singing 'will you be my American boy' which does make me feel very old indeed. Unfortunately, Estelle seems to have gone awol which is a shame because we need more music like this in 2014.

While the UK were looking for American boys, there was a talented one across the pond taking the charts by storm and making love in clubs. Usher ruled the top spot for three weeks with Young Jeezy on this club banger.

2009

Another joint number one but this time it comes courtesy of Flo Rida. Not only did he manage to do the double and have a No.1 in the UK and US at the same damn time but he also managed to stay at the top spot in the states for six whole weeks. The song ain't even that good!

2010

Tinie debuted back in 2010 with this amazing track and managed to back a No.1 single which is still popular today.

Over in the states, they were also enjoying some powerful club music by a little known band called The Black Eyed Peas.

2011

Was I the only one who didn't know Nicole Scherzinger had ever had a solo No.1 in the UK ?! Well she has, and here it is.

Lady Gaga was in fact the only No.1 song in American during March as she held the top spot with Born This Way for six weeks.

2012

And still dominating the charts two years later, Katy Perry took the No.1 spot with one of her lesser known songs both in England and America.

2013

JT ruled the UK charts for three weeks with this beautiful ballad and proved that absence really does make the heart grow fonder after a five year break from the music scene.

The US let themselves down with this one. Somehow, the exceptionally annoying - and inaccurate - Harlem Shake took over the world and the charts last year.

2014

The man of the moment, Pharrell, is enjoying his third time at the number one spot with his single Happy in the UK while clutching to that top spot on his home turf, the US.
