My post on the other thread would be pages long so I thought this made more sense.

Songs which hit number 1 spot in UK you actually like

For me, I guess Paperback Writer by The Beatles, and Glad All Over by the Dave Clark Five for a start...............

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

There's loads.

Even as an old boy now I will often say to my kids...this ones going to be number 1...when a tune comes on the radio. I'm always right.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Six weeks at number one I think - marvelous

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

This one managed to shift YMCA from the top spot, I still play it - great song

[sams dad]

I heard it through the grapevine - Marvin Gaye

 

[ManOfSussex]

Along with their fantastic charity cover collaboration of Aerosmith's and Run DMC's 'Walk This Way' with Girls Aloud in 2006, these are undoubtedly the 5 greatest UK number 1's this century - and the word 'like' would be an understatement

 

[Lady Whistledown]

For me, I guess Paperback Writer by The Beatles, and Glad All Over by the Dave Clark Five for a start...............

Wash your mouth out. Go and sit in the corner and think about what you've done.

Bollox. I liked that song years before Palarse promoted themselves to being our rivals.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

This one.

Oh. Hang on, scrub that.

BBC duly doffed their caps and didn't allow it to spoil the Silver Jubilee, installed some lame Rod Stewart track at number 1 instead. Lickers.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

We don't need no education to spot a decent number 1 record.

Make no apologies for offering up this superfabsmasheroony hit from 2016.

Rare proof that you don't need to sell your soul to Simon Cowell and dumb down to Britain's Not Got Talent level to achieve artistic and commercial success.

So many great ones. This lot probably should have had more number 1s, but this one revolutionised music.
