Sorry Brian 91 - thought I would add this one.

 

Jimmy Young - 12 top 50 hits including 2 number ones. Unchained Melody (yes that song again) and The Man From Laramie.

Tony Blackburn - So Much Love #31 in 1968 and It's Only Love #42 in 1969

Noel Edmonds and cast of Swap Shop calling themselves Brown Sauce - single I Wanna Be A Winner #16 in 1981

Jimmy Saville released a single called Ahab The Arab in the early 60s. It flopped

funny... i only remember tony blackburns flop... summut about a tree chopper...

Terry Wogan had a single out once. 'The Floral Dance', getting to number 21 in 1978.

 

Denise Van Outen dueted with Johnny Vaughn for charity once, singing a cover of the Kylie/Jason track 'Especially For You'. It reached number 3 in 1998. Johnny Vaughn's voice was awful. To be fair, Denise Van Outen wasn't too bad. I think she was in musicals and stuff before she was a TV presenter. She also dueted with Andy Williams on a new version of his song 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You' which got to number 23 in 2002.

 

Ant and Dec when they were known as PJ and Duncan. :wacko:

Laurie Lingo and the Dipsticks - 'Convoy GB'. Radio one DJ's Dave Lee Travis and Paul Burnett in 'hilarious' 'Convoy' spoof.

 

Mike Reid had actually been in bands before becoming a DJ (Just Plain Smith, Esprit De Corps), and carried on making them while he was a DJ. I think he even wrote a flop West End musical.

 

Lauren Lavern was in indie group Kenickie (biggets hit 'In your car' No. 24) who had an album that reached No. 9.

 

John Peel had a record label called Dandelion in the early 70s but, thankfully, had the good taste to release other people's efforts rather than his own!

 

Chris Tarrant and the rest of Tiswas got into the charts in 1980 as the Four Bucketeers singing the bucket of water song :rofl:

 

What about Ant & Dec as Pj & Duncan they had a few hits in the mid 90's

 

Jimmy Young(old radio 2 dj) even had 2 number 1's in 1955.

 

Kenny Everett had 2 songs Captain Kremmen, and Snot rap :rofl:

Brown Sauce - I Wanna Be A Winner (1981)

 

I can just imagine Noel Edmonds shopping around Record Labels with his Swap Shop colleagues and asking "Deal Or No Deal"?..... :D

Chris Tarrant and the rest of Tiswas got into the charts in 1980 as the Four Bucketeers singing the bucket of water song :rofl:

Are you allowed to include singers who became DJ's as opposed to the other way round ?

 

Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) hosts 6Music's rock show

does Louise Redknapp count as well :lol:

Another one I found in my old collection today when I was having a sort through

 

Steve Walsh - I Found Lovin' (remake of the Fatback Band classic) and Ain't No Stopping Us Now, I Found Lovin' made Top 15 in the chart in 87 so counts

 

Steve was Britain's top club DJ and had shows on Capital Radio and Radio London so he counts

Well, in that case you have the three or so disco classics that Pat 'hair' Sharp and Mick 'who was he again?' Thingummy released between 89 and 90 or thereabouts.

 

I think they did 'Use It Up and Wear It Out', 'Let's All Chant' and something else.
