Pete Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 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.

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.

Pete Posted February 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camie Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Yeh I know I was just emphasising the fact that it isn't that great a number one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
