I can add under the oldest artists thread these 2 Bands, 1 Orchestra and 1 Royal Society - not solo artists of course: Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in 1842 and had one hit in January 1972 - "Theme from 'The Onedin Line'" Band of the Black Watch was founded in 1881 in Scotland; one hit in October 1975 - "Scotch on the Rocks" Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band was also founded in 1881 in England; "Floral Dance" was No 2 for 6 weeks around Christmas and New Year 1977 (McCartney's "Mull of Kintyre" was to blame...) Royal Society for the Protection of Birds [RSPB] was founded in 1889 in Manchester; "Let Nature Sing" was a hit for 1 Top 20 week in May 2019.
