First posthumous duet in the top 10 since Laurel & Hardy?

what’s the longest chart topper by number of letters? Neyo’s Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself)?

Ooh you don’t know where The Funky Gibbon is by any chance Gezza? :) Somewhere in the Top 500 of the decade I hope!

The Beatles were constantly in the Top 40 from when Please Please Me entered w/e 30/01/1963 to A Hard Day’s Night leaving on 14/10/1964 - I make that 90 weeks.

On the top of three songs per artists, isn’t Kenny Rogers the named lead on Islands in the Stream?

Didn’t “Wonderful” by Ja Rule hold the record?

Aww thanks x

I know there was one for Trevor Horn recently, so we have done producers….

RIP William Orbit (should we do a Buzzjack Rate maybe)? Controversial opinion but I think prefer Madge’s American Pie to the original!

Oh I thought it was going to be a reentry for Beck….

Such tension! Two absolutely iconic (and very English) acts in their own way….

Mr Brightside!

I think another established legend who also scored 2 solo #1s in the 1990s might win this one…

0130 What’ll I Do - Julie London 14/04/1956 This became a much-loved standard (composed by Irving Berlin) long before Julie London recorded this intimate version. London's smoky voice and understated style perfectly suit the song's theme of longing after the end of a relationship. It has a sparse jazz accompaniment and late-night atmosphere, and captures the quiet melancholy that made London one of the most distinctive vocalists of her era.

0129 Too Darn Hot - Ella Fitzgerald 15/03/1956 Another Cole Porter composition, this time for the 1948 musical l Kiss Me, Kate. Fitzgerald's interpretation shows effortless swing, impeccable timing and crystal-clear diction that bring Porter's witty lyrics vividly to life. Backed by lush orchestral arrangements, she combines technical brilliance with infectious warmth, creating one of the definitive versions of this classic show tune and reinforcing her reputation as the "First Lady of Song."

0128 Long Tall Sally - Little Richard 01/03/1956 This song’s breakneck pace, pounding piano and explosive vocals showcased Little Richard at his electrifying best. Its infectious energy made it a favourite with both fans and fellow musicians, and it was later recorded by artists including The Kinks and The Beatles. Fast, exciting and full of swagger, it’s of the key records of early rock and roll.

0127 On the Street Where You Live - Vic Damone 27/02/1956 Adapted from the musical My Fair Lady, " this UK No 1 captures the excitement of being close to someone you love, even if they are unaware of your feelings. Damone's rich, romantic baritone and polished style brought the Broadway standard to a wider audience.
