Now that Ariana has officially been given a seventh UK #1, let's see how she does against other similarly big names! There's a mix of both classic and current names so it could get interesting.
Every performer with seven (no more, no less) UK #1s will go head-to-head to see which of these had the best. We start with each of their first #1 hits.. Ariana Grande Problem Elton John Don't Go Breaking My Heart George Michael Careless Whisper Jess Glynne Rather Be Justin Bieber What Do You Mean? Kylie Minogue I Should Be So Lucky McFly 5 Colours in Her Hair Michael Jackson One Day in Your Life Robbie Williams Millennium Sam Smith La La La Tinie Tempah Pass Out U2 Desire Which of these is your fave? Does your fave artist here have the best song? Is their first #1 their best? Simply vote in the poll and the top 2 will go through to the grand final. A new round will appear every 2 days, so get your vote in quickly! |

It has to be 'Rather Be' really, as one of my all time faves. 'Pass Out' was an excellent debut for Tinie Tempah as well, he only topped it a couple of times. 'La La La' remains a highlight for Sam Smith and I wish more of their discography sounded like it rather than the slow ballads we got. 'What Do You Mean?' is also one of the few actually great Justin Bieber tracks and I'm glad it was that which gave him his first chart topper over many of his rubbish earlier singles. Sadly for an artist as legendary as MJ his first #1 just wasn't all that great and I'm not surprised it's barely remembered now.
Here's how I'd rank it. Jess Glynne Rather Be Tinie Tempah Pass Out Sam Smith La La La Justin Bieber What Do You Mean? Ariana Grande Problem George Michael Careless Whisper Elton John Don't Go Breaking My Heart Robbie Williams Millennium Kylie Minogue I Should Be So Lucky U2 Desire McFly 5 Colours in Her Hair Michael Jackson One Day in Your Life |

Got to be 'Careless Whisper' here. Not a great list overall honestly.

Not the greatest selection of songs, but as some of U2's superior later #1s are still likely to lose out (e.g. The Fly stands no chance against Billie Jean), I voted for them here.

Definitely 'Careless Whisper' for me! 'Millennium' probably second, one of Robbie's greats.

Michael wins this for me!
But Careless Whisper and Rather Be are also smashes. Its funny bc I love Ariana and Ive become a real Kylie fan but those songs arent great for me! |
