Posted April 28, 201312 yr I was just thinking that 'Need U (100%)', 'Waiting All Night' and 'Get Lucky' are 3 absolute tunes and are all songs of the year for me, and it is very rare for such GOOD songs to be #1 in a row. I was just wondering if anyone can think of other examples of having 3 or more brilliant #1's in a row? It is certainly very rare these days.
April 28, 201312 yr There are lots of good chains but only one instance where three songs that I'd regard as 10/10 songs have topped the charts back to back and that was in 2006: Nelly Furtado - Maneater Shakira feat Wyclef Jean - Hips Don't Lie Lilly Allen - Smile
April 28, 201312 yr Shakira featuring Wyclef Jean "Hips Don't Lie" Beyoncé featuring Jay-Z "Déjà Vu" Justin Timberlake "SexyBack" Scissor Sisters "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" Razorlight "America" My Chemical Romance "Welcome to the Black Parade" Not a bad run of 6 #1s and quite different songs too!
April 28, 201312 yr Was there a song at #1 between "Mirrors" and "Need U (100%)" because if there weren't that would be a very good run of decent #1 singles. A run of UK #1 singles that I've charted exceeding 2 is very rare indeed. All have gone Top 20 on my chart, with Daft Punk getting the highest (so far..) with a #9 hit.
April 28, 201312 yr Is there a reference list posted somewhere which I can refer to? I couldn't seem to find it.

April 28, 201312 yr Turns out the Saturdays got #1 between "Mirrors" and "Need U (100%)" - typical, a steaming TURD of a song in a run of actually quite decent #1 hits. URGH. Anyway 1990 is good: 641 Sinead O'Connor Nothing Compares 2 U (4 weeks) 642 Beats International featuring Lindy Layton Dub Be Good To Me (4 weeks) 643 Snap The Power (2 weeks) 644 Madonna Vogue (4 weeks) 645 Adamski Killer (4 weeks) 646 Englandneworder World In Motion (2 weeks) Oh yeah, I'm including "World In Motion". John Barnes rap - hell YES.

April 28, 201312 yr 1988 : Belinda Carlisle - "Heaven Is a Place on Earth" Tiffany - "I Think We're Alone Now" Kylie Minogue - "I Should Be So Lucky" This is even better as 1987 T'Pau - "China In Your Hand Pet Shop Boys - "Always On My Mind" 1988 Belinda Carlisle - "Heaven Is A Place On Earth" Tiffany - "I Think We're Alone Now" Combine the two and I'd agree- pretty amazing!
April 28, 201312 yr This is even better as 1987 T'Pau - "China In Your Hand Pet Shop Boys - "Always On My Mind" 1988 Belinda Carlisle - "Heaven Is A Place On Earth" Tiffany - "I Think We're Alone Now" The Beegees/T'Pau/PSB was better, in my opinion
April 28, 201312 yr Oh yeah, the end of 2012 was HEAVENLY as well With the Gabrielle Aplin, Justice Collective and James Arthur dirges? The most derivative run of number ones at least.
