Olly Murs did the 'double' today, so I was interested if anybody has a list of other artists who have also scored the double please!

One Direction with Little Things and Take Me Home.

Loads of artists have, but it has happened quite a lot these past few months. Robbie did it too the other week.

Just in the last couple of weeks there has been One Direction with Little Things & Take Me Home, and Robbie Williams with Candy and Take The Crown.

The prodigy with firestarter and breathe from the fat of the land

Leona Lewis Bleeding Love & Spirit were both #1 at the same time for a few weeks

d56 · 02/12/12 - 19:47

Leona did with Bleeding Love and Spirit, maybe even Spirit Deluxe and Run too?

I remember Cheryl Cole doing it with FFTL and 3 Words......only because Simon Cowell made a massive fuss as if she was the only person on the planet to ever do it.

The Spice Girls did it in America with Wannabe and Spice. IIRC

7 artists have achieved simultaneous number 1s in the single and album chart in the UK *and* US. Points for anyone who can name them

Rihanna did it twice in 2011 with What's My Name & Loud and later in the year with We Found Love & Talk That Talk

I remember that!! I was so happy when this happened and her single and album were like this for about 7 weeks I think.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Adele yet lol.

In the US she did it with 3 different singles from the same album.

Gabrielle- Rise..single and album

PANNAL1 · 02/12/12 - 20:08

I am sure Westlife and Take That have done it at some point as well as Elvis and The Beatles, and probably Madonna too

Will Young with Leave Right Now and Friday's Child.

Didn't Rita Ora do it as well?

When Hear'Say won Popstars in 2001 both their single and album were No 1 in the charts at the same time. Doesn't excuse the fact they were crap though

I think people just bought their CDs on the back of the TV show hype.

In 2005, Sugababes were the first group/artist (not sure if a solo artist had done it before but I dont think they did) to be at #1 on the Singles, Singles Download and Album chart simultaneously with Push The Button and the album Taller In More Ways... They completed the same thing with About You Now and the album Change in 2007...
