Here's a few I think have the potential to do it (other than the three who already have) 00s, 10s and 20s (potentially) Calvin Harris - if he goes back to his commercial sound sometime soon Rihanna - if she ever comes back and with a strong single Lady Gaga - Shallow was huge recently so she can't be ruled out, though I don't expect her LG6 lead will reach #1 10s and 20s (very likely) Adele Ariana Grande Drake Dua Lipa Justin Bieber - even with Yummy underperforming I expect he'll be on a #1 sometime soon Lewis Capaldi 10s and 20s (likely) Bruno Mars Dave George Ezra Jess Glynne LadBaby Post Malone Sam Smith Shawn Mendes 10s and 20s (potentially but unlikely) Camila Cabello Chris Brown Clean Bandit Ellie Goulding Harry Styles Khalid Little Mix One Direction - although only 'unlikely' as they probably won't be doing a comeback Rita Ora Taylor Swift

I'm sure he'll go back to his commercial sound once he's got this side project out of his system and when he does he'll have a very good chance of getting another #1. Rihanna and Gaga are less likely but yeah if it's the right song then maybe. Couldn't we put Beyoncé in that list too? She had #1s in the 00s and 'Telephone' in 2010, or are you not counting that because she wasn't lead artist? For 10s and 20s it could potentially be any of those listed. And I think it's almost certain One Direction will get back together in the next couple of years (as all the members seem to allude to it quite often in interviews) so I'd put them in the 'Likely' category!

Formation could’ve been a top ten hit if it was put on streaming sites from the get go though. She’s capable of top tens for sure but #1 I’m not sure. Albums wise though she’s very likely to get number ones on ghat chart. Of the major pop females Ariana and Rihanna are most likely aside from Adele. I think Gaga can score a top ten debut with her lead but #1 it would need to be a pop banger like Poker Face or a soaring ballad like Shallow to go to #1 but it’s not completely out the question. It’s achievable but there needs be a streaming deal in place or strong playlisting. Someone else I wouldn’t rule out getting another #1 single is Bruno Mars and The Weeknd could potentially get one as well. Jess Glynne I can see getting more #1s and both Calvin Harris and Clean Bandit. I wouldn’t rule out Demi Lovato either. Shes with scooter now.

🔥🚀🔥 Joined: 30 August 2010 Posts: 74,571 User: 11,746	I'd say unlikely for David Guetta for now, he hasn't been getting a lot of big hits in recent years, and was absent from the top 40 for the whole of 2019 (he did very well to have hits in every year from 09-18 though). I'd put Mark Ronson in unlikely as well.

Maybe Katy Perry for 00s, 10s and 20s if she has another feature like 'Feels' or something (obviously not of her own accord again).

Especially if it's something as "on trend" and "of the time" as 'Scream & Shout' was. It all just depends on what happens with this whole court case stuff and whether she records anything again (Holding out hope for a Confessions On A Dancefloor/Light Years kinda reinvention, but again. More unlikely than it is likely.)

Adele never got a no.1 on the 00s, unless you’re just talking about top 10s.
