The answer appears to be Geri Halliwell... is anyone able to add to this list and make it more complete? Remember it's for British females only, with two or more #1 singles. :D Thank you.

 

4 #1 singles - Geri Halliwell

 

3 #1 singles - Alexandra Burke

3 #1 singles - Leona Lewis

3 #1 singles - Pixie Lott

3 #1 singles - Billie Piper

3 #1 singles - Sandie Shaw

 

2 #1 singles - Lily Allen

2 #1 singles - Shirley Bassey

2 #1 singles - Cilla Black

2 #1 singles - Melanie C

2 #1 singles - Petula Clark

2 #1 singles - Cheryl Cole

2 #1 singles - Gabrielle

2 #1 singles - Lisa Stansfield

Geri will soon be reached fairly soon then by either Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke or Pixie Lott and then probably taken over not too late after that.

 

3 #1 singles - Pixie Lott

3 #1 singles - Billie Piper

 

Their histories are getting more and more similar. :lol:

Pixie is going to be a Dr Who companion?

 

Weird that Pixie Lott is (joint) 2nd place. :lol:

 

Does anyone reckon she could ever get another #1? :o

Is there a british male solo artist list for #1s too? It'd be interesting to compare them.

I loved the Spice Girls back in the day but the fact Geri Halliwell even released solo music is something I try to erase from my brain on a weekly basis. Great personality and totally bonkers - AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL songs :(

You can't be serious :o Her first album's releases were all amazing and deserve much more credit I think. Mi Chico Latino is like in my top 5 favourite songs ever :wub:

Have you forgotten about the DIVINE Ride It? :P

1. Cliff Richard - 14

2. Elton John - 7

3. George Michael - 7

4. Robbie Williams - 6

5. Rod Stewart -6

 

 

I can't find any with 5 but I should imagine there are some and Will has 4 up to now.

I really hate that Geri had 4 no.1s and none of them were Look At Me.

2. Elton John - 7

4. Robbie Williams - 6

5. Rod Stewart -6

I think David Bowie has 5

 

1975 Space Oddity

1980 Ashes to ashes

1981 Under Pressure

1983 Lets Dance

1985 Dancing in the streets

 

Off the top of my head.....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_artis...ber-one_singles

 

This page lists everyone with four or more UK #1s. Geri Halliwell is indeed the only UK female soloist.

 

David Bowie and Dizzee Rascal have each had 5 #1s for the male list. Frank Ifield, Shakin' Stevens, Gareth Gates and Will Young each had 4 (and Gerry Marsden if you count his 3 as part of Gerry And The Pacemakers)

Weird that Pixie Lott is (joint) 2nd place. :lol:

I don't see why her next single shouldn't provided she has good promo (*COUGH* X Factor *COUGH*). It would warm my heart to see her on top of that list!

You could also put Olivia Newton John on that list who had 3 UK No 1 singles- although raised in Australia she was born in Cambridge and left the UK when she was 6

Thanks suggy, cant believe Cliff has 14, that probably will never ever be reached again, actually i'd be so sure to say it definitely wont be :lol:

No other British solo male is likely to get that many but I don't think it'd be impossible for everyone. JLS have a decent shot of racking up that many if they keep the ball rolling for at least another 4 years :lol:

There's always a slight chance, but i'm 99.9% sure noone will ever get near 14 #1 singles, thats such an insane amount!

 

I doubt JLS will get there, and then thats a new list, #1s for british male bands/groups? :lol:
