The Hot 100 singles chart in RPM is the definitive source for statements about a song's chart performance in Canada. A reference that repeats the 39 weeks claim without citing a source does not take precedence over the actual charts, which show only a nine-week run at #1 dating from August 3 to September 28. The number one song the week of October 5 was by Rod Stewart. Bearcat 09:24, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, it's possible that the 39 weeks is from singles sales, but the problem is that there isn't a searchable archive of the singles sales charts anywhere on the web, so it's impossible to verify — and the only citations for it that turn up on Google kind of trigger my "are we citing a reference that used Wikipedia as its source?" alarm. I'm also concerned about the optics of using the standard Hot 100 charts for the United States and the UK, but then switching to singles sales for Canada just because the number sounds more impressive.
