Chart The song with the most weeks in chart is Katy Perry's "California Gurls" with Snoop Dogg with 28 weeks. Coming close in second was Taio Cruz's "Dynamite" with 26 weeks but even so none of them received the peak position. The number one spot was achieved by the New Zealand RnB singer J. Williams featuring the rapper Scribe with the single "You Got Me". You Got Me being the first New Zealand annual number 1 single in 6 years since Ben Lummis's "They Can't Take That Away", and Scribe becoming the first artist ever to have 2-year end number 1 singles the other being "Stand Up/Not Many".
The biggest-selling single not to reach number one was Nesian Mystik's "Sun Goes Down"
