Has Robbie got the record for biggest gap between doubles? Been close to 11 years since SWWY/SS were #1.

 

Cliff Richard holds the UK Chart Record for the longest gap between doing the 'Double Top'.

 

Between his 3rd & 4th time, was over 25 Years:,

 

04/04/1963 (1) Cliff Richard (& The Shadows) - Summer Holiday (OST) // Summer Holiday

24/12/1988 (2) Cliff Richard - Private Collection // Mistletoe And Wine

That's true! Make that oldest living male :D

Who holds that record now? Tony Bennett, current age 86?
