'Dance Monkey's 9th UK Week at No.1, is the longest' Run', by a Solo Female, with a New Song, since W/E 26th June 1954, when 'Secret Love' was No.1 for its 9th & final Week. That is a 'Gap' of 65 Years and 6 Months... NEW SONGS BY FEMALE SOLO ARTISTS -- THE MOST UK NO.1 WEEKS 01)=SECRET LOVE - DORIS DAY - (1954) - 9 Weeks (Non Consecutive - 1 + 8) 01)=DANCE MONKEY – TONES AND I - (2019) - 9 Weeks 03)=THINK TWICE - CELINE DION - (1994 - No.1 in 1995) - 7 Weeks 03)=BELIEVE - CHER - (1998) - 7 Weeks 03)=BLEEDING LOVE - LEONA LEWIS - (2007) - 7 Weeks A)... If the List included Cover Versions, then this is still the Solo Female 'Most No.1 Weeks' Record Holder: I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU - WHITNEY HOUSTON - (1992) - 10 Weeks NOTE -- However, that was not a New Song. It was written by Dolly Parton, in 1973, and released on Record in March 1974. So the Whitney version was a 1992 Cover... B)... If the List included Credited Solo Females, on Hits with One Other Artist, then these would be included: UMBRELLA - RIHANNA Featuring JAY-Z - (2007) - 10 Weeks YOU’RE THE ONE THAT I WANT - OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN & JOHN TRAVOLTA - (1978) - 9 Weeks ONE KISS – CALVIN HARRIS & DUA LIPA - (2018) - 8 Weeks SUMMER NIGHTS - OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN & JOHN TRAVOLTA - (1978) - 7 Weeks C)... The Multi Artist Single with the most UK No.1 Weeks for a Female Artist is: ONE DANCE – DRAKE FEATURING WIZKID & KYLA - (2018) - 15 Weeks @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ This post has been edited by zeus555: 29th November 2019, 06:41 PM
