@Bridger a shocking lack of Beach Boys. And here I thought you lot were civilized
-
@mclaincausey Westlife and Ed Sheeran have 14 each, that's worse than the Beach Boys not making the list. Not to mention Aqua, Steps and McFly... I didn't even know Aqua had more than one song
-
No AC/DC, Zeppelin, Hendrix, James Brown or Bowie, but thankfully Nickelback are representing
-
-
@Bridger I google it and The Kinks,apparently, did have 3 number ones in the UK...You Really Got Me,Tired of Waiting,and Sunny Afternoon. Also looked up SLADE,and they had 6 number 1 hits in the UK. Sorry,I keep thinking of bands that should've been included on the list. T-Rex had 4

Good checking @Jett129
Who knows the true record?
I got this from Gemini, which said it got the results from the Official Charts Company (whatever that is).

This popped up in my feed last night.
There's not much to add that isn't already in the comments below the video.
