American crooner Frankie scored his first ever UK Number 1 in April 1953, just after his 40th birthday and seemed reluctant to let go. Not content with notching up nine weeks at the summit, after a week at Number 2, he went back up to spend a further six at the top. But it wasn't over yet. Famous composer Mantovani then claimed the Number 1 spot, b...
1991. The weather was pretty dull for much of the year, and if you weren't a fan of Bryan Adams' massive Number 1, listening to the radio wasn't likely to brighten your day. Thanks to the success of then-box office darling Kevin Costner's innovative Hollywood retelling of Robin Hood (complete with soft-metal blow-dry and Californian accent) this ba...
Another theme from a romantic movie, the Scottish quartet scored a third Number 1 with this cover of a Troggs hit from the Sixties. Taken from Four Weddings and a Funeral, even the band themselves were sick of hearing it during summer 1994. After 15 consecutive weeks, the Wets decided to pour cold water on the song's soaring success and DELETED it ...
It's been a long time since we had a mammoth run at Number 1, isn't it? But here's Drake with a whopping fifteen weeks at the top with One Dance featuring Wizkid and Kyla. Drake's extended reign means he scored the longest running Number 1 of the digital age, since 2004, when legal download services launched in the UK. However, after 15 weeks of su...
Queen's signature hit has quite a few chart feats under its belt. Not only is it the only song to be Christmas Number 1 twice, but it's a million-seller to boot. On its original run, the single spent nine weeks lolling about at Number 1. It was, interestingly, knocked off by another song containing the lyric "mamma mia" – Abba's classic, erm, Mamma...
Bringing things right up to date, the lead single from Ed's sales powerhouse third album ÷ has notched up 14 weeks at the topof the Official Singles Chart. His biggest rival for most of his run was himself – Castle on the Hill, How Would You Feel (Paean) and Galway Girl all battled to nudge Shape Of You off Number 1. Eventually, Harry Styles' Sign ...
This song's origins date from before the Official Singles Chart even started, way back in 1924, but when American country singer Slim got his hands on it in 1955, it was a solid-gold smash. Topping the chart for 11 weeks, the song's record reign was unbroken until Bryan Adams and Robin Hood came along and, well, we all know how that one went. MORE:...
Like the longest reigning Number 1 single of all-time, Despacito spent three different stints at Number 1 in the UK. The foreign language track to spent the longest at the top too, Despacito hung around for 11 non-consecutive weeks.
The Australian singer-songwriter's viral hit certainly took its time getting to the top spot, with an eight-week climb. Once there, however, Tones and I made herself at home, notching up her eleventh week at Number 1 in December 2019, leapfrogging Rihanna and Whitney for longest running Number 1 song by a female lead artist. Not bad for a tune that...
This impressive 2021 stint means Ed became the first artist to log twosingles that have topped the Official Singles Chart for 10 weeks or more. Bad Habits is that song, with synth-pop sonics that make it a marked departure from his earlier material.
