They were raised in Australia but were born in the UK

 

Rolling in the Deep, How Deep Is Your Love, Levitating and Physical  I love all those songs so much

The point system is about weeks spent at #1, weeks spent inside the top 10 etc.. Each position gets a certain point with the #1 being the strongest in points. For example a song that stayed 10 weeks at #1 and 25 weeks total in charts, could have way more points than a song that spent 57 weeks with the majority of it's chart run outside the top 20.

So I doubt they forgot, it's a point system and this is the results of it.

Levitating 

 

literally bigger than The Beatles 

 

surprised Bleeding Love and Someone Like You aren’t higher 

[Roberto]

Of course the #1 had to have a Billboard darling. Whatever. 

 

Levitating and RITD top 2 in my heart.

I'm also surprised that that is their biggest song, I would've thought it was Stayin' Alive.

[Taylor Sniffs]

Bruno Mars and Beyoncé 

[Rev8]
