Up now on the front page and the latest news box. Nothing rude about Steps this week :D

In hindsight, it seems quite surreal to see that Daniel O'Donnell has had SIXTEEN top 40 singles, including a top 10 back in 1998 (Give a Little Love), and last hit the singles chart a mere 5 years ago. One might suggest that his absence from the charts since is one of the small mercies of the new chart rules.

As Noel Gallagher has his 9th UK No.1 Album, I decided to

compile this List. (Do let me know if I've made any mistakes!).
