Default Greatest Number 1s
I don't know if this has already been mentioned or not but here goes - according to Radio 1 listeners...


Which is the Greatest No.1 Single?

To celebrate the 1000th number one single we asked you for your Greatest No.1.

We have a massive response with over 25,000 votes.

Here's who you voted the Greatest...


1.
Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody

2. Iron Maiden - Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter
3. Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
4. Madonna - Like a Prayer
5. Madonna - Vogue

6. Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock
7. Oasis - Don't Look Back in Anger
8. Abba - Dancing Queen
9. Mariah Carey - Without You
10. John Lennon - Imagine

11. The Beatles - Hey Jude
12. Will Young - Leave Right Now
13. Cliff Richard - We Don't Talk Anymore
14. Busted - Thunderbirds / 3am
15. Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights

16. Kylie Minogue – Can't Get You Out Of My Head
17. Tatu - All The Things She Said
18. Spice Girls - Wannabe
19. Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On
20. Westlife - Flying Without Wings

Chart Facts
There was a total of 26,072 votes recorded.
233 songs received no votes.
Queen was the most voted for artist overall, but this was mainly due to votes for Bohemian Rhapsody. Their two other Number 1s (Innuendo & Under Pressure) only received a small amount of votes each.
Madonna was the most voted for female artist with Like a Prayer at number 4, Vogue at number 5 and Music at number 21, as well as seven other songs receiving votes.
Michael Jackson was the most voted for male artist in the list with Billie Jean at number 3.
The most recent song in the top 20 was Busted - Thunderbirds / 3am from August 2004.



Iron Maiden number 2 - cool.

Cheezus Pete,
I wonder how it would look if Northsound listeners got a similar poll.

No Band Aid, which is surprising.

Great to see Tatu, an underated band.

Cheers

Stuart

May not be the best but it got to number 1 in the charts and that's why it was in the poll in the first place.
