Thank you very much.

One of the most important records of lasting acheivement over the years has been which band or artist could obtain the highest number of UK No. 1 hit singles.

A large amount of the groups and individuals who have obtained 5 or more chart toppers have actually been originally from the US, proving how easy it is for US acts to find fame in the UK.

The record is in fact held by a US act. However, many UK acts do dominate this list. Below is a list of all the acts to gain 5 or more UK No. 1 hit singles since the introduction of the music charts in 1952.

In the on-going battle to get to the top of this list, many artists have releaseed numerous re-issues of earlier recordings. However, none can top the King himself, Elvis Presley marching ahead with yet another No 1 hit single 25 years after he died!
