Surely it’s no different to Nero? Their #1 song also has uncredited vocals.

Alana is considered to be a member of Nero whereas the no name vocalist on the LF System song isn’t a member of LF System

Oops never mind then! I’m counting them by my rulebook though :lol:

^ agree :-)

Yes I think they're a different case to Clean Bandit and Rudimental whose #1s were all "featuring" other present artists - if we overlook the OCC's lack of crediting on Rockabye.

As I started this thread, I'd better put my opinion in. I've never heard the song before. It seems to be a disco song from 1979 that two people have speeded up a bit. Who can blame me for not listening to the top 40 nowadays if this is the best that is on offer. Thank goodness, a classic from Kate Bush has been number 1 for the last few weeks.

 

So my verdict is : this cannot be added to the list as LF System are not a group with a regular lead singer.

Has anyone mentioned Little Mix and Wham! in early 2021 yet?

^ yes they were mentioned on the previous page, also LadBaby just before them (not sure whether they really count as a group at all / for their previous #1s as well).

 

Honorable mention to the self-contained group who've had the longest running chart hit since then *.*

I'm not sure I'd exactly call Roll Deep a "self-contained" group either. The girls singing the choruses on their number-ones weren't part of the group, and not only that but a lot of the actual group members aren't in the songs.

but the definition is very biased against dance groups

 

I'd rather have LF System than Ladbaby tbh

An addition to the list this week! :cheer:

Maybe the AI-enhanced Lennon is additional member of the group so it doesn't count. :P

Or maybe just change the criteria to self-contained group whose members are all still alive lol
