Brilliant stuff, love it. Just two small corrections though, for your 2000 entry. Firstly, the plural of millennium is 'millennia'. Secondly, the #1 which spanned the two millennia was (unfortunately) Bob The Builder's. Westlife's Christmas number one came a year earlier; at the end of the second Christian millennium's 999th year, continuing into the start of the thousandth and final one. |

Cheers Chig. I always enjoy the mine of musical information on your page too. For one horrible moment there I thought I'd made a musical mistake. Imagine my relief to discover that the error was merely millennial. Now, I do know the plural of millennium as well as you do, and that the real 21st century started in 2001. However, I'm afraid I unconsciously dumbed down my post so as not to alienate my readers. Seems I made the wrong decision there - a thousand apologies. |

Apart from Deee Lite's, there are at least another 40 top five discs with a claim to be No1 missed from the "official" listing - Golden Brown by the Stranglers only outsold by combining the sales of 2 different versions of Town Called Malice, and 39 others from befroe the adoption of the Music Week chart by the BBC in 1969 - which I list (and cheat a bit to make it 40) HERE |

see above posting - now updated to include all alternative 1950s charts and a 1960s omission. So without cheating there are 41 extra Number Ones. |
Just a quick correction - The Spice Girls had 9 number ones, don't forget "Holler/Let love Lead The Way", lol  |
|
Nine numbers ones, yes, but only eight of those in less than three years. |
