'Crazy' by Gnarls Barkley has just gone past another UK milestone: being the first song for almost twelve years to spend 2 months in the UK charts.

The single was initially a download-only track, which managed - through downloads alone - to top the charts. It has since been available as a CD single.

The last song to spend 2 months in the UK charts [warning: expletive coming up] was 'Love is all Around' by Wet Wet Wet. Believe it-or-not, this feat has not even been achieved by such luminaries as the Beatles, Madonna or even Elton John.

It has been a good year so far for Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo - who have a UK gig planned later in the year.
