I'm thinking of creating a spreadsheet to figure out the longest possible chain that happens to be all charttoppers, so I'll let you know if I find any significantly long ones.

I'm not sure if I ever started that spreadsheet back then, or if I did how far I got, as I have since had two laptops conk out on me (and need to find somewhere other than Problematic Crap World to get the next one). I did try in the last couple of weeks to start such a spreadsheet, but realised it would to be too tricky and timeconsuming that way, so have ended up compiling a list of the number twos that were charttoppers (so the 2nd birthday's for this thread), then using that list to compile a list of the 3rd birthdays where both tracks were charttoppers. I haven't completed the 3rd birthdays list yet, but when I do I will then go on to do 4th birthdays, 5th birthdays etc until there is nothing left to compile. I wanted every weekly chart to align with certainty to the day of it's announcement for these lists, so have only started from the chart announced on 4th October 1987 when looking for the #2 charttoppers, so for birthdates from 4th October 1985, which is admittedly just over 2.5 years after my own birth I may yet go back and do the 1969-1987 era, with the caveat that I might be able to ascertain for sure when every Wednesday announcement, instead of Tuesday, took place.

This is the list of the 2nd birthdays (from 4th Oct 85 onwards) that would be a charttopper:
