Guardian number one singles 13:22 - Jun 3 with 4291 viewsfactual_blue

Anybody else been following this?

https://www.theguardian.com/music/series/the-100-greatest-uk-no-1-singles

Tomorrow and Friday will be seeing the top two revealed. Only one single per artist in the 100. Beatles at number three.

So - what are the best two singles to reach number one?

Joe Dolce and Rolf Harris for my money.

Yeah, been quite a good little series. Some of the newer inclusions did raise an eyebrow, but sure I'm just being a youngish fogey. For instance, why Dua Lipa merits a place in the top 100 along with, say, Roy Orbison.

The debate on Factual's Old Blokes WhatsApp group is whether The Beatles and John Lennon will be regarded as separate artists.

Mayhem if 'another brick in the wall' isn't there. No Bryan Adams either....

Ringo was the real Beatle.

Only one I read thus far was Kate Bush Wuthering Heights.

Didn't realise she was 18 when she wrote that.

Queen must be one of the most overrated bands of all time. I cannot stand their music.

No, it is already on the list but way down the pecking order. Laurie Anderson's 'Oh Superman' hasn't featured yet though.

Me too. Funny how you block out things you don't like.

By the way, does anyone know why the Premier League only has 19 teams in it this season?

It's compensation for The Human League only making it to No.7

Btw, 'Bohemian Rhapsody' was a scandalously low No. 46

'Singing The Blues' has yet to feature...

Well if Aretha's Respect isn't one of them, given its musical and cultural significance, then the rest of the list must be bollix (as it seems to be on first read)

The Everly Brothers must be in with a shout for #1 having not been mentioned thus far but I'll be disappointed if it's not Pet Clark and Frank Ifield in the top two slots.

My word, I have just looked at the first lot on display. Dead Or Alive at number 5? I am definitely not in tune with whomever came up with this as I had that down as one of the 5hittest tunes of the 80s.

In other news I am clearly becoming an old fart since I have never heard of Lil Nas X.
