Been meaning to do this for years, and finally got around to the spreadsheet sorting.

This is a list of all the acts that have had more than one number one in my personal charts, which I've been doing for quite a while

As I like to give credit where's it due, I decided to amalgamate some acts into conglomerations - by which i mean if they had aliases they get lumped together, if they were a group first that includes solo stuff or bands that one or more act was subsequently in. Sometimes this will get a bit odd, for example boybands that had 2 number ones but solo members had over 10 it might look a bit skewed but I'm sure you'll work out I much prefer the solo stuff to the boyband stuff.

I'll do more info for the top acts, but there are 227 in total with more than 2 chart-toppers, so I'll breeze through the lower end.
