Gnarls Barkley withdraw Crazy from charts
Gnarls Barkley's hit 'Crazy', which is the biggest-selling single of the year, is set to be taken off the shelves from today onwards, after spending a ninth consecutive week at number one in the UK charts.
According to reports, the American duo who make up Gnarls Barkley, DJ Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo, have decided to withdraw the song while it is still top of the charts.
The pair reportedly want to focus on their next single and didn't want people to get sick of their first hit due to over-exposure.
A spokesperson for Gnarls Barkley said: "They have had a fantastic run. But we don't want people to get sick of the song. From Monday, we will be deleting it."
'Crazy' has become the most successful single released in the UK in over a decade, beating Tony Christie's hit 'Is This The Way To Amarillo?', which remained at the top-spot for seven weeks last year.
By remaining at number one this week, 'Crazy' has equalled Queen's 1975 run at the top of the charts with 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.
The track also went into the record books for being the first single to go to number one on downloads alone.
