I return to the theme of acts who have spent one week, and one week only, at the top of the UK charts. This earlier piece lists 40 acts that spent a single week at the top of the album charts.
The list below is for every act, up to May 2024, that has spent a single week at the top of the UK singles chart. I offer it as it is for now, no analysis, and in the same format (All Caps) as the source data, this page on the Official Chart Company website.
