The UK Singles Chart was first compiled in 1969. However the records and statistics listed here date back to 1952 because the Official Charts Company counts a selected period of the New Musical Express chart (only from 1952 to 1960) and the Record Retailer chart from 1960 to 1969 as predecessors for the period prior to 11 February 1969, where multiples of competing charts coexisted side by side. For example, the BBC compiled its own chart based on an average of the music papers of the time; many songs announced as having reached number one on BBC Radio and Top of the Pops prior to 1969 may not be listed here as chart-toppers since they do not meet the legacy criteria of the Charts Company.

The following is a list of all the acts who are on five or more UK number one songs with an individual credit (meaning, the main artist or named separately as a featured artist – being part of a group does not count towards an individual's total).[1]
Simply playing or singing on a single without credit will not count, or the top positions would almost certainly belong to session musicians such as Clem Cattini who is reported to have played drums on over 40 number ones.[2]

Progression of the record[edit]
Al Martino was the first act to have a number one single, with "Here in My Heart" in November 1952. Seven months later Eddie Fisher became the first act to have two number one singles, with "I'm Walking Behind You" following "Outside of Heaven". In November 1953 Frankie Laine scored a third number one single with "Answer Me" and a fourth with "A Woman in Love" in October 1956. In 1960 "It's Now or Never" gave Elvis Presley his fifth number-one single. He increased the record ten times until June 1965 when "Crying in the Chapel" became his 15th number one. The Beatles then took the record with a 16th, "Get Back", and 17th, "The Ballad of John and Yoko", their last number one to date. After his death in August 1977, Elvis scored a 17th chart topper with "Way Down" to tie.
In 2002, having been used in a Nike World Cup advertisement, a 1968 Elvis song "A Little Less Conversation" was remixed as Elvis vs JXL and went straight to the top for 4 weeks, giving Elvis his 18th number one single. Celebrating the 70th anniversary of his birthday, all of Elvis' 18 number ones were re-issued in 2005. Despite being re-issues, they were given different catalogue numbers and therefore count as separate singles, giving Elvis 21 number one singles.[3]
^ Note: The Shadows, or The Drifters as they were originally called, are credited on twelve #1 singles. Seven of these share credit with Cliff Richard and some lists recognise only their 5 chart-topping singles without Richard.

Most weeks at number one[edit]
The record for most non-consecutive weeks at number one is 18 by Frankie Laine's "I Believe" in 1953. It spent nine weeks at number one, dropped down for a week, returned to number one for six weeks, dropped down for a further week and returned to number one for a third time for three weeks. It is one of five singles to return to number one more than once, the others being "Singing the Blues" by Guy Mitchell in 1957, "Happy" by Pharrell Williams in 2014, "What Do You Mean?" by Justin Bieber in 2015 and "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber in 2017.[1]
The longest unbroken run at number one is "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" by Bryan Adams, which spent 16 consecutive weeks in 1991.

"Terry's Theme from Limelight" by Frank Chacksfield spent a total of eight weeks at number two (in four separate spells) without ever reaching number one. All-4-One's "I Swear" and "Moves like Jagger" by Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera both spent seven consecutive weeks at number two without reaching number one. "These Days" by Rudimental featuring Jess Glynne, Macklemore and Dan Caplen also spent seven consecutive weeks at number two behind Drake's "God's Plan" having spent a single week at the top.

Posthumous number ones[edit]
The first artist to score a number one single after their death was Buddy Holly in April 1959 with "It Doesn't Matter Anymore". Singer Eddie Cochran later made no. 1 after being killed in a taxi crash with "Three Steps to Heaven" in June 1960. Jim Reeves scored a no. 1 single with "Distant Drums" in September 1966, two years after his death in a plane crash.
Dying in 1970, Jimi Hendrix scored his only chart-topping single with "Voodoo Child" two months after his death, in November. After this the only other artists to receive one posthumous number one single were:
Jackie Wilson, who died of pneumonia in 1984 and hit the top with "Reet Petite (The Sweetest Girl in Town)"
Freddie Mercury, with "Living on My Own" in 1993 (also Queen topped the chart a few weeks after Mercury's death in 1991 with "Bohemian Rhapsody"/"These Are the Days of Our Lives")
Aaliyah, who died aged 22 in a plane crash and hit the top with "More Than a Woman" in 2002
George Harrison, who died of lung cancer in 2001 and hit the top in 2002 with "My Sweet Lord", which had previously been a no. 1 single for him in 1971
Tupac Shakur, with "Ghetto Gospel" in 2005
The Notorious B.I.G., with "Nasty Girl" in 2006
Eva Cassidy featuring Katie Melua, with "What a Wonderful World" in 2007
Harrison took over from Aaliyah at the top, marking the only time in UK chart history one posthumous act has replaced a different posthumous act at number one.
Elvis Presley and John Lennon have both accumulated three or more posthumous chart toppers. John Lennon did not have any solo no. 1 singles during his lifetime, but after his death "(Just Like) Starting Over" and 1975 song "Imagine" went to number one. Lennon became the second act to replace themselves at the top of the UK charts when "Woman" took over for a two-week spell at the top. Shortly after this Roxy Music's version of "Jealous Guy" also reached no. 1, meaning that from December 1980 to March 1981 four out of six chart toppers were written by Lennon.
Presley holds the record for the most posthumous chart toppers. Following his death in August 1977, "Way Down" instantly shot to the top for five weeks. Twenty-five years later, an old song called "A Little Less Conversation" was remixed by JXL and used in a Nike World Cup advert. It became so popular that it shot straight to the top of the charts and remained there for four weeks. Then in 2005, RCA decided to re-issue all 18 of his no. 1 singles for his 70th birthday anniversary. "Jailhouse Rock", "One Night/I Got Stung" and "It's Now or Never" became three more chart toppers for the superstar, giving him 21 in total of which five were posthumous. In 2007, the 30th anniversary of his death, one of Presley's albums reached the top spot.
American rapper Tupac Shakur died in September 1996. His rival, the Notorious B.I.G., was killed a few months later in 1997. Neither reached the top of the UK charts during their lifetimes, but in 2005, Tupac reached number one with "Ghetto Gospel" sharing the credit with Elton John. A few months later, in 2006 the Notorious B.I.G. matched this feat with "Nasty Girl" (sharing the credit with Diddy, Nelly, Jagged Edge & Avery Storm).[citation needed]
Lowest selling number one[edit]
The lowest weekly sale for a number one single is 17,694 copies held by Orson's "No Tomorrow" in 2006.[7]
The addition of downloads to the UK charts meant that singles could reach number one with no physical copy being released. The first single to achieve this was Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" in early 2006. Since 2014, audio streaming has been included in the calculation of chart position, so it is now possible for a single to reach number one without selling any copies (if it were only available on streaming services). In the week ending 24 September 2015, "What Do You Mean?" by Justin Bieber became the first number one with over half of its chart sales made up of streaming points, with sales of 30,000 and 36,000 points from 3.6 million streams.
Since the incorporation of streaming into the singles chart, the Official Charts Company have continued to compile a sales only chart. In week ending 27 April 2017 "Sign of the Times" by Harry Styles became the first number one in the sales only chart to sell less than "No Tomorrow" by Orson, with 16,686 copies.[8]
Acts to occupy number one and number two[edit]
The Beatles
"I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You" (three weeks in December 1963)
"Hello Goodbye" and "Magical Mystery Tour" (three weeks in December 1967)
John Travolta — "Summer Nights" (with Olivia Newton-John) and "Sandy" (one week in November 1978)
John Lennon — "Imagine" and: "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)"; "Woman" (both January 1981)
Madonna — "Into the Groove" and "Holiday" (one week in August 1985)
Justin Bieber
"Sorry" and "Love Yourself" (one week in November 2015); "Love Yourself" and "Sorry" (five non-consecutive weeks in December 2015 and January 2016)
"Cold Water" (with MØ & Major Lazer) and "Let Me Love You" (three weeks in August 2016)
"Despacito" (with Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee) and "I'm the One (song)" (with DJ Khaled, Lil Wayne, Quavo & Chance the Rapper) (four weeks in May and June 2017)
Ed Sheeran
"Shape of You" and: "Castle on the Hill" (five weeks bin January and February 2018); "How Would You Feel (Paean)" (one week in February 2017); "Galway Girl" (five weeks in March and April 2017)
"Perfect" and "River" (with Eminem) (three non-consecutive weeks in December 2017 and January 2018)
In addition, in the final week that Justin Bieber was at #1 and #2 with "Love Yourself" and "Sorry", "What Do You Mean" was at #3. For the first three weeks that Ed Sheeran was at #1 and #2 with "Shape of You" and "Galway Girl", "Castle on the Hill" was at #3, and for the first of these three weeks Sheeran's "Perfect", "New Man" and "Happier" were at #4, #5 and #6 respectively.[9]
Self-replacement at number one[edit]
Since the inception of the UK Singles Chart in 1952 only five acts have replaced themselves at the top of the UK charts with exactly the same billing (as opposed to any named artist, for example 'Cliff Richard and the Shadows' and 'The Shadows' have had back to back number ones on four occasions):
The Beatles — "I Want to Hold Your Hand" replaced "She Loves You" (12 December 1963)
John Lennon — "Woman" replaced "Imagine" (7 February 1981)
Elvis Presley — "One Night/I Got Stung" replaced "Jailhouse Rock" (22 January 2005)
Justin Bieber — "Love Yourself" replaced "Sorry" (10 December 2015); "Despacito" (Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber) replaced "I'm the One" (DJ Khaled featuring Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper and Lil Wayne) (18 May 2017)
Ed Sheeran — "River" (Eminem featuring Ed Sheeran) replaced "Perfect" (25 January 2018)[10]
Fastest selling single[edit]
The fastest selling single in chart history is "Candle in the Wind 1997" by Elton John which sold 1.55 million copies in its first week (it sold 658,000 on the first day of release, 13 September 1997).[11]
The fastest selling debut single is "Anything Is Possible/Evergreen" by Will Young, which sold 1.11 million copies in its first week on sale.[12] Publicity had built up due to the televised talent contest Pop Idol with 8.7 million people phoning in to vote for the finalists.[13]
The fastest selling single by a British group is the Spice Girls "2 Become 1" which sold over 462,000 copies during its first week on sale and over 763,000 copies in a fortnight. In total, the single sold over 1.1 million copies to date.[14]
Biggest selling single not to top the chart[edit]
The record is held by Wham! with their 1984 Christmas release, "Last Christmas" / "Everything She Wants", which peaked at number two, being kept off the top by Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?".[15] It has sold 1.77 million copies following first week sales of half a million.[16] In December 2017, a year after George Michael's death, fans tried to get "Last Christmas" to number one, but again it peaked at number two.[17]
The biggest selling single to peak at number three is New Order's "Blue Monday", which has sold over a million copies.[15] However, it garnered its total sales via two further remixes of the track, meaning its one million sales are attributed over all three releases. The biggest selling release to peak at number three is Ed Sheeran's "The A Team", which has sold over 1,067,000 copies since its 2011 release.[18] The biggest selling single to never make the top 5 is "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol, which peaked at number 6 and has sold more copies than "The A Team".[19] The biggest selling single not to reach the top 10 is "Numb" by Linkin Park which never charted higher than #14.
Downloads[edit]
Downloads grew steadily in popularity after first being integrated into the chart in 2004. In early September the UK Official Download Chart was launched, and a new live recording of Westlife's "Flying Without Wings" was the first number-one.[20]The first number one to chart without ever receiving a UK physical release was Coldplay's "Viva la Vida" in June 2008. As of 2012, very few songs are given a physical release, and almost the entire chart is released solely on digital download.
On 22 June 2008, both songs in the top two were there on downloads alone:[21]
"Viva la Vida" by Coldplay
"Closer" by Ne-Yo
On 31 August 2008, the top three were download-only at the time:[22]

Totals include all instances where an artist is actually credited as part of the act. Therefore, for example, The Shadows score for their own hits as well as those where they backed Cliff Richard, and Diana Ross scores for both her solo hits and those as Diana Ross & the Supremes. However, Paul McCartney, for example, is not credited for any of The Beatles' hits as he does not have a separate credit, (although his hits with Wings do count towards his total as they are classed together in the Guinness Book of Hit Singles).

First to...[edit]
Eden Kane (real name Richard Sarstedt) and Peter Sarstedt are the first pair of siblings to score no. 1s as solo artists. Eden Kane scored a no. 1 with "Well I Ask You" in 1961 and Peter Sarstedt got a no. 1 with "Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)" in 1969. A third brother Robin Sarstedt (real name Clive Sarstedt) made the Top 3 in 1976 with "My Resistance Is Low" making them the only set of three brothers to have separate solo Top Three singles.
The first song recorded completely in a foreign language to reach number-one on the UK Singles Charts is "Je t'aime... moi non plus" by Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin in 1969 (French). There are only five other foreign language number-one songs which are "Rock Me Amadeus" by Falco released in 1986 (German), "La Bamba" by Los Lobos released in 1987 (Spanish), "Sadeness (Part I)", by Enigma released in 1990 (Latin/French), "We No Speak Americano", by Yolanda Be Cool Vs DCUP, released in 2010 (Italian/Neapolitan) and "Gangnam Style" by Psy released in 2012 (Korean). (Yolanda Be Cool and DCUP, both being Australian, both spoke English as their first languages, and "We No Speak Americano" even had a title largely in English, but the song was based entirely on a sample of the Italian language "Tu vuò fà l'americano" by Renato Carasone and as a result was completely Neapolitan.)
The first artist to reach No.1 on the UK Official Singles Chart based on both sales and streaming figures was Ariana Grande with "Problem" on 6 July 2014.
The first artist to have singles debut at numbers 1 and 2 simultaneously was Ed Sheeran on 13 January 2017 with "Shape of You" and "Castle on the Hill".
The first artist to have every song from their album enter the top 20 on the singles chart was Ed Sheeran with ÷
The first female artist to have a top ten single in five consecutive decades is Cher (1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s). Kylie Minogue follows with a top ten single in four consecutive decades (1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s).
Melanie C is the first female performer to top the charts as a solo artist, as part of a duo, quartet and quintet.[31]

Flag of Washington, D.C.

The Washington family coat of arms in 14th-century stained glass at Selby Abbey, North Yorkshire, England
The flag of Washington, D.C., consists of three red stars above two red bars on a white background. It is an armorial banner based on the design of the coat of arms of George Washington, first used to identify the family in the 12th century, when one of George Washington's ancestors took possession of Washington Old Hall, County Durham, northeast England. As elements in heraldry, the stars are properly called mullets.

History[edit]
For over a century, the District of Columbia was without an official flag and flew several unofficial banners—usually the flag of the D.C. National Guard. In 1938, Congress established a commission to choose an official, original flag design. The commission held a public competition, and picked the submission of graphic designer Charles A. R. Dunn, who had first proposed his design in 1921.
Dunn's design was officially adopted on October 15, 1938, using the following specification:
The proportions of the design are prescribed in terms of the hoist, or vertical height, of the flag as follows: the upper white portion shall be 3⁄10 of the hoist; the two horizontal bars are each 2⁄10 of the hoist; the white area between the bars 1⁄10 of the hoist; and the base, or lowest white space, is 2⁄10 of the hoist. The three five-pointed stars have a diameter of 2⁄10 of the hoist and are spaced equidistant in the fly, or horizontal, dimension of the flag.[2]
"Taxation without representation" flag
In 2002, the D.C. Council debated a proposal to change the flag in protest of the District's lack of voting rights in Congress. The new design would have added the letters "D.C." to the center star and the words "Taxation Without Representation" in white to the two red bars, a slogan already in use on the District's license plates. The change presumably would have been temporary and revoked once the city achieved equal representation or statehood. It passed the council on a 10–2 vote, but support for the proposal soon eroded, and then-mayor Anthony A. Williams never signed the bill.[3]
In 2001, the flag placed eighth in design quality out of the 72 Canadian provincial, U.S. state, and U.S. territory flags ranked.[4][5] In a 2004 poll on the North American Vexillological Association website, Washington, D.C.'s flag was voted the best design among U.S. city flags, just out-polling the flag of Chicago.[6]
