Westlife had 14 in 8. :(

 

Difference is some of Calvins will be remembered a lot longer than slot of West life's!

I always have it on my records as 5/12/17 lol, must be my mistake!

 

Anyone think Calvin has a chance of beating the 17 no1s of Cliff/Beatles/Elvis then?

I think he can do it tbh.

Same here still only in his early 30s, conceivably could still have hits into the 2030s unless he becomes generic although Guetta became like this in 2012 onwards and still has plenty of hits!

I thought Rihanna would catch that record the rate she was racking them up but her chart toppers have very much dried up in recent years so the same could easily befall Calvin down the line. Personally I can't see the Elvis tally ever being caught.

Promises is number 1 in UK!!!! Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏 Buzzing you like it as much as I do... @samsmithworld what a blessing it is to be able to work with you. Thank you. Also they’re saying it’s my 10th number 1 but I count productions too so it’s my 14th 🤪🤪🤪 big upppp

 

Calvin knows.

 

When will your non-Westlife faves??

Calvin could have already more or less caught Elvis if he'd had a bit more luck with some release weeks, or if he'd been a bit more pushy in being credited on the few #1s that he produced but wasn't a credited artist on. He definitely has a few more #1s left in him I'd think, I wouldn't write him off - he's always reinventing his sound so as long as he keeps putting out good songs there's no reason to think he's gonna be left behind any time soon.
