From the Times article about the Top of The Pops's #1s:
Countdown to a thousand hits
Bob Stanley
Only three to go . . . we’ve had 997 No 1 singles and to celebrate the chart’s musical milestone, our correspondent goes pop picking.
Curmudgeonliness aside, there is no small pleasure in looking at the almost complete list of 1,000. The Beatles and Elvis stand like twin giants, the Liverpool and Arsenal, 35 No 1s between them, while Westlife’s mind-numbing 12 chart-toppers (seven out of their first seven releases, ten out of their first eleven) make them the Man U of the charts.
