Finding out this information lead me to discover some interesting (to me ) stats!
* The only position Melanie C has yet to achieve as a solo artist is an elusive #1... but if I was to count Spice Girls - Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) which reached #1, then she has achieved the feat.
* Kelly Clarkson has achieved the most Top 10 hits without ever managing a #1 - 17 Top 10s.
* Rihanna leads the way with most Top 10 hits achieved - 48. She's in no danger of being overtaken! The artists with the next highest number of Top 10s are Katy Perry & Nicki Minaj; both on 26.
* Cardi B has the highest number of Top 10 hits without ever managing a Top 3 hit - she's had 10, placing at #4 or lower.
* Girls Aloud have the most Top 3 hits in a row (16, from Wake Me Up to Beautiful Cause You Love Me) and they never charted any lower than #3. Cheryl has never charted lower than #3 either, meaning she's contributed to 29 Top 3 hits in a row - no other artist has been that consistent!
None for me - only two have come close!

only one act has done it (the obvious) but Calvin's nearly there, and surprisingly Gareth Emery also (given how relatively few hits he's had - though Holograms currently sits at #6 so it could still climb and lose him a #6 hit).

Shockingly I can only find one act: Pet Shop Boys.
The rest all seem to need one more chart position, and there are oodles of them. Bizarre considering how long I've been charting!
Updated my post above - Little Mix and The Kid LAROI have joined Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj in achieving this statistic! Laroi's particularly impressive as he's managed it in exactly a year
Also worth keeping an eye on Powfu and Ruel, who didn't feature on my original list but now only need 1 top 10 each to complete their set.
For me only Taylor's managed it! But there's a few others who are 1 away.

Updated my list above again, Harry Styles actually no longer has this accolade! Satellite charted at #7 when Harry's House came out but actually peaked at #1 with its single push, meaning he no longer has a #7 peaker.
Dua Lipa became the 3rd artist to do this this week thanks to Maria's #10 peak - and I forgot to update when Charli hit #6 with Speed Drive!
