THE NATION'S FAVOURITE NUMBER 1 SINGLE


As it is the 60th Anniversary of the UK Singles Chart, a huge Poll
has begun, to find the Country's 'Favourite Number 1 Single'.

There have been 1,192 UK No.1 Singles, since November 1952.

A 'Panel Of Experts' have made a short-list of 60 of those No.1's.
& you can Vote for them. Each Voter can choose 10 of the 60 No.1
Hits.

http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-...e-single-1337/

Later this Year, the results will be revealed in a 3 Part TV Series, on
ITV1 & ITV1+1. They might be planning to reveal the order of the
entire Top 60, for it to be spread over 3 Shows.

AN HONOUR FOR THE BEATLES, ABBA, & MADONNA

The Beatles, ABBA, & Madonna, are the only 3 Acts, to have had 2
of their No.1 Hits chosen to be Voted on.

The Beatles get 'I Want To Hold Your Hand', (1963), & 'Hey Jude', (1968),
& ABBA get 'Dancing Queen', (1976), & 'The Winner Takes It All', (1980).
Madonna gets 'Like A Prayer', (1989), & 'Vogue', (1990).

So, The Beatles are the only Act with 2 No.1's chosen from the same
Decade, & ABBA & Madonna, are the only Acts with 2 No.1's chosen
from different Decades.

neither of those Beatles ones are likely to be the favourite No 1.

I suspect Bohemian Rhapsody is home and hosed.

Sadly I think you may be right , going by the rather short list which have been selected I will go for Going Underground by The Jam

It'd be great if it was Hey Jude - not likely though

Can't see anything beating Bohemian Rhapsody but you never know. Radio 2 did a poll a few years ago and A Whiter Shade Of Pale won!

It's a joke, it's simply a chosen list to choose from and I don't like most of them.

I really think Stan by Eminem should win. In my opinion it changed the music scene and still is one of the greatest musical masterpieces ever created. I also voted for You Really Got Me by the Kinks because it is so catchy, and Adele's Someone Like You also warrants a vote as its in this shortlist after only being released last year, which proves how huge it really is. Also mentionable nods are;

Stand By Me - Ben E. King
Killing Me Softly - Fugees
Tainted Love - Soft Cell
Crazy - Gnarls Barkley
Can't Get You Outta My Head - Kylie Minogue

i don't get the hype around the Beatles, Queen or Madonna if i'm really honest...
