While it’s true that most songs are growers, revealing their full potential after multiple listens, some are undoubtedly showers – tracks whose connection with the masses is near-instant.

When it comes to the charts, the sign of a true shower is landing straight in at the top of the Official Singles Chart. Just over 530 songs have scored a Number 1 debut in the Official Charts’ 68-year history, its regularity ebbing and flowing over the years.

Singles tended to climb to Number 1 in the early days of the Official Chart, but by the early 2000s it was commonplace - in 2003, 19 of 22 Number 1 songs that year debuted at the top. Recent years have seen that number drop significantly; the introduction of streaming and the scrapping of a six-week build up to a single release (yes, this used to be a thing) means hit songs have a tendency to climb rather than make a splash in their first week.

In 2018, five songs debuted at Number 1; in 2019 is was just three, while the number has increased slightly this year to eight.

Westlife claim the most Number 1 debuts on the Official Singles Chart, with all 14 of their chart-toppers landing there in their first week. Their first was in 1999 with Swear It Again, followed by a mighty six consecutive Number 1s, with their most recent being 2006’s The Rose.

Behind Westlife, by quite a margin, are fellow boyband Take That, with ten of their 12 chart-toppers debuting at Number 1. The group had to wait until their eighth single, 1993’s Pray, to gain their first Number 1, but they were near-unstoppable from then, scoring their last in 2014 with These Days.

Three acts have managed to land eight Number 1 debuts, Eminem, Oasis and Spice Girls, with the latter scoring them in quickest succession at five years.

Five acts are close behind are close behind on seven chart-topping debuts, most recently Ariana Grande, who lands straight in at Number 1 on this week’s Official Singles Chart with Positions.

Double digit Number 1 Take That albums is widely achievable for them.

Yes, I certainly think they can get 10 number 1 albums. Easily. I assume Robbie will rejoin for an album at some point, and inevitably they’ll be another greatest hits sometime in the next 10 years

What route their next sound will take is really anyone's guess when we review Gary's recent musical style.

I have been revisiting Beautiful World and The Circus albums.
The albums are highly enjoyable all these years later.

Yes, especially with the lockdown going on. I just really think it’ll be a 4 or 5 piece return on the next record. And Rob has his new disco album coming out soon, so I suspect he’s focused on that
