The song was leaked in late 2005, months before its regular release, and consequently received massive airplay on BBC Radio 1 in the United Kingdom, most notably by radio DJ Zane Lowe, who also used the song in TV ads for his show.[1] When it was finally released in March 2006, it became the first single to top the UK charts on download sales alone. The song remained at number one in the UK Singles Chart for nine weeks (which no other song had achieved in over ten years, and was only surpassed by Rihanna's "Umbrella" in July 2007) before the band and their record company decided to remove the single from UK stores so people would "remember the song fondly and not get sick of it."[2] In spite of this deletion the song became the UK's best selling single of 2006.[3] It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into news leak. ...

Composition and inspiration

Musically, "Crazy" was inspired by film scores of spaghetti Westerns, in particular by the works of Ennio Morricone, who is best known as the composer of Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy.[6] The song samples a portion of "Last Man Standing" by the brothers Gian Franco and Gian Piero Reverberi from the 1968 spaghetti Western Django, Prepare a Coffin (Preparati la bara!) (The track is listed as "Nel cimitero di Tucson" on the film's soundtrack).[7] A film score is a set of musical compositions written to accompany a film. ...

The song's lyrics, written by Cee-Lo, were inspired by a conversation he and Danger Mouse had in the studio with the instrumental playing on repeat: Danger Mouse was "caught up in thinking that people have to believe you're crazy to think you're an artist."[8] After the conversation, Cee-Lo recorded the vocals for the song in just one take.[9]


Chart performance

Following its release as a digital download in the UK on March 13, 2006, the song debuted at the number one spot on the UK Official Download Chart on March 22, 2006.[10] At the time chart rules allowed a song to appear in the UK Singles Chart based on their download sales if a physical equivalent was to be released the following week. "Crazy" became the first number one single based on download sales alone (selling over 31,000 times that week), on April 2, 2006,[1] with the CD single being released one day later. It remained on top of the single chart for nine weeks and on top of the download chart for a record eleven weeks, until the single was pulled from UK stores by the band and their record label on 29 May 2006, after nine consecutive weeks at number one, so people will "remember the song fondly and not get sick of it."[2] The last song to spend such a long time at the UK's number one was "Love Is All Around" by Wet Wet Wet in 1994, which was number one for fifteen weeks. is the 72nd day of the year (73rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

"Crazy"'s 11 weeks at the top of the UK Official Download Chart were the longest stay on that chart that any song has achieved as of 2006. Despite its official removal, record shops had enough stock remaining to sell 19,827 physical copies; along with download sales, this kept the song at number two in the chart dated June 4.[11] The following week, chart date June 11, "Crazy" was at number five, before disappearing completely from the Top 75 a week later, as under chart rules a physically deleted single could not remain on the chart longer than two weeks after deletion date. Thus, "Crazy" made history at both ends of its chart run. It marked the most rapid exit from the UK chart ever for a former number one, and makes number five the highest position at which a single has ever spent its final week on the chart. 2006 is a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

In the first week of 2007, "Crazy" recharted at number 30, based purely on downloads. The chart rules had been changed yet again, allowing any sold song to chart, irrespective of whether or not it was still on sale in stores.[12]


During its long stay in the UK charts, the single also entered multiple other single charts throughout Europe, including the German, the Swedish, the Austrian and the Irish Singles Charts, and the Dutch Top 40, resulting in a number one position on the Eurochart Hot 100 Singles.
