Hello everyone, I just wanted to check that the current list is as follows

 

5 times - Do They Know It's Christmas (by 5 different artists)

4 times - Unchained Melody (by 4 different artists)

4 times - I Believe (by 2 different artists)

4 times - Singing The Blues (by 2 different artists)

4 times - 3 Lions (by the same artist)

 

Any that I have missed?

 

Thanks in advance.

You'll Never Walk Alone (4 different artists, including Robson & Jerome as part of a triple A side for their final #1)

Thanks Jim!

'Spirit In The Sky' comes to mind (3 different artists). Sure there must be more though.

With A Little Help From My Friends (3 different artists)

Isn't 'Do They Know It's Christmas?' just on 4 (not 5) stints at the top?

Not if you count Ladbaby

Not if you count Ladbaby

Oh yes, I'd (thankfully) forgotten about that one.

 

So it is looking like Last Christmas will be Number 1 on Friday.

Would I be correct therefore in saying that this would therefore be the first occasion that the same recording by the same artist has made number 1 on four separate occasions?

Not if you count Ladbaby

 

Does that one technically count as the only thing the same is the melody, it even has a different name

Yeah LadBaby shouldn’t count imo

Mary’s Boy Child x2 by 2 different artists - Boney M and Harry Belafonte!

If you don't count 'Three Lions' then yes I think so. (I'm sure it'll get a 5th run next year, if not this year if something interrupts it in the Christmas week, to take the title unambiguously anyway)

If you don't count 'Three Lions' then yes I think so.

Thank you. I'm pretty sure it was a different recording of Three Lions that topped the charts in 1998?
