March 7, 20196 yr Author MK - 1995-2017 (22 years) under that name, he may have had a hand in a few top 10s before '17'It was his remixing that propelled quite a few songs into the top 10, most of those in the 2010s but at least one in the 90s too (Push The Feeling On), but he didn't get an official chart credit for those so I'll count it. :P
March 8, 20196 yr MK - 1995-2017 (22 years) under that name, he may have had a hand in a few top 10s before '17' I thought 17 was his debut single, whoops! Edited March 8, 20196 yr by Rob
February 22, 20205 yr As this is on a similar theme to the artists without #1s thread, these are another couple I thought of to add here: Martin Solveig - 2004-2015 (11 years) Public Enemy - 1987-2012 (25 years) Not sure if any acts have achieved the feat since Jonas Brothers though
February 22, 20205 yr I think I’ve found one that meets the criteria (I wasn’t paying attention to this thread at the time it started) It’s a 20 year gap from debut to Top 10 hit (a UK #1 in fact!) Oliver Cheatham – Get Down Saturday Night (#38 debut hit in 1983) Room 5 feat. Oliver Cheatham – Make Luv (#1 hit in 2003) EDIT: This was already mentioned :nocheer: Edited February 22, 20205 yr by awardinary
February 22, 20205 yr I thought for a moment I had redeemed myself with Billy Ray Cyrus after last years #1 smash but his debut in 1992 already was a Top 10 single of course! :lol:
February 22, 20205 yr Author and Old Town Road doesn’t even technically count as a hit for him in the uk cos of the occ’s rules regarding crediting remixes. :P
January 8, 20223 yr A couple more I can think of since this was last updated, including a new one yesterday: Paul Woolford - 2003-2020 (17 years) Cherish - 2006-2022 (16 years)
January 9, 20223 yr Author you’ve mixed up Tyga with Tiga there. the rapper’s first top 75 hit was in 2010.
January 9, 20223 yr Easy mistake. Tiga had a song called Bugatti (his best song) and Tyga actually has a Bugatti! :lol:
January 9, 20223 yr The only other person I think of was Terry Wogan - but he’s credited as “Bandaged” in 2008
January 9, 20223 yr This is a really cheeky one, but Arsenal released Good Old Arsenal in 1971 and it reached #16. They then didn’t reach the Top 10 until 1998 with Hot Stuff (#9)
January 10, 20223 yr Easy mistake. Tiga had a song called Bugatti (his best song) and Tyga actually has a Bugatti! :lol: My first thought was "didn't the other Tyga have a song called Bugatti too" but apparently the one I was thinking of is by someone called Ace Hood.
January 10, 20223 yr Kunt and the Gang had a #66 hit in 2010, before finally going top 5 with his anti-Boris song in 2020 with The Kunts.
January 10, 20223 yr This is a really cheeky one, but Arsenal released Good Old Arsenal in 1971 and it reached #16. They then didn’t reach the Top 10 until 1998 with Hot Stuff (#9) Yeah, you can't really count that. Aside from having a different credit (The Arsenal 1st Team Squad in 1971 and Arsenal FC in 1998) it would have been a completely different squad on each song.
January 10, 20223 yr A couple more I can think of since this was last updated, including a new one yesterday: Paul Woolford - 2003-2020 (17 years) Cherish - 2006-2022 (16 years) What did Paul Woolford chart with in 2003??
January 10, 20223 yr What did Paul Woolford chart with in 2003?? Out Of My Life - reached #84, can't say I've ever heard it.
January 11, 20223 yr A couple more: Brian Kennedy (16 years): Captured (#77, 1990) -> George Best - A Tribute (#4, 2006) Goo Goo Dolls (13 years): Iris (#50, 1998 -> #3, 2011)
January 11, 20223 yr Kunt and the Gang had a #66 hit in 2010, before finally going top 5 with his anti-Boris song in 2020 with The Kunts. I suppose it’s technically a different artist credited though! The Kunts are 4 people, not just him.
