- Notes
- D ^ Leonard Cohen's 1984 track "Hallelujah" charted in Sweden in December 2007 due to download sales. At the same time Jeff Buckley's version also entered the charts, and the week of 13 December 2007 Buckley's version peaked at #5 with Cohen's original reaching its peak position #16 the same week.
- E ^ Although not explicitly released as a single, Cohen's heavily-covered 1984 track "Hallelujah" charted in the United Kingdom in December 2008 at position number 36. This was due to downloads of the track as a result of the publicity created by Alexandra Burke's cover version, which charted at #1 at the same time, and a campaign to get Jeff Buckley's version into the charts (which it did, peaking at #2 simultaneous to Burke's cover). Yet another version of Cohen's song by US-singer Kate Voegele charted in the UK at #53 short time before Christmas of 2008. This, as a result, became the first occasion since the early days of the UK Singles Chart that four versions of the same song were in the charts simultaneous to each other at the same period.
- F ^ Record Store Day 2009 (April 18, 2009) exclusive release.
