Posted February 27, 20196 yr Hello guys, i was searching with a list with most top 5 hit singles in total in the uk. does someone have it or has a link for this?
February 27, 20196 yr I'm gonna move this to the UK Charts forum coz it'll get answered a lot quicker there.
February 27, 20196 yr Calvin Harris for male artist in this generation? Not exactly know how many top 5 hits he have right now.
February 27, 20196 yr Calvin has 22 so far, that's only one less than Westlife's 23. I don't think there's such a list in this forum but it would be safe to assume Cliff Richard's 40 top 5 hits are unbeaten (or Elvis Presley's 52 counting the re-issues, he has 36 if you don't count them).
February 27, 20196 yr I think Madonna may have more than that? She's got 44, not including re-issues.
February 27, 20196 yr Yeah I forgot about her, it's usually elvis and cliff with these sorts of questions.
February 27, 20196 yr ACTS - WITH THE MOST UK TOP 5 SINGLES 01) ELVIS PRESLEY - 54 -- (37 if you discount his 17 Top 5 Hits, with Re-Issues, in 2005) 02) MADONNA - 46 -- (44 if you discount the 1991 Remixes of ’Holiday’ & ’Crazy for You’) 03) CLIFF RICHARD - 40 04)=MICHAEL JACKSON - 29 04)=THE SHADOWS - 29 -- (Including 18 with Cliff Richard) 06)=KYLIE MINOGUE - 26 06)=RIHANNA - 26 08) THE BEATLES - 25 09) U2 - 24 10)=ROBBIE WILLIAMS - 23 10)=WESTLIFE - 23 12)=EMINEM - 22 12)=CALVIN HARRIS - 22 14)=ELTON JOHN - 20 14)=ROD STEWART - 20 14)=MARIAH CAREY - 20 -- (Counting the 5 times that ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ has reached the Top 5) 17) OASIS - 19 18)=DAVID BOWIE - 17 18)=ABBA - 17 18)=GEORGE MICHAEL - 17 18)=BOYZONE - 17 18)=BRITNEY SPEARS - 17 18)=TAKE THAT - 17 24)=PAUL McCARTNEY/WINGS - 16 24)=ROLLING STONES - 16 24)=QUEEN - 16 24)=GIRLS ALOUD - 16 28)=BEE GEES - 15 28)=McFLY - 15 28)=JENNIFER LOPEZ - 15 28)=JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE - 15 Edited March 11, 20196 yr by zeus555
February 28, 20196 yr Interesting to see The Beatles 'only' on 25 Top 5 hits when you consider about 20 of them were #1s. Madonna rightfully on top (reissues discounted).
February 28, 20196 yr It's okay, so have the general public :( Hopefully this will change this year ?
February 28, 20196 yr Rihanna could climb to #4 if she makes a decent comeback and throws in some collabs
February 28, 20196 yr Hopefully this will change this year ? We can hope... but it feels very unlikely to me. She couldn't manage a hit with Ghosttown last time around so I'm thinking it would have to take something quite special to make any impact, especially as she'll need a miracle to do well on streaming.
February 28, 20196 yr It's okay, so have the general public :( I haven’t :D first thing that springs to my mind
February 28, 20196 yr same here, first thing I thought was Madonna even if Elvis beats her on a technicality
