The UK's Official 1400th Number 1: Every 100th Number 1 single in the UK to date
The UK’s 1,400th Number 1 single has just been crowned!
After a speedy ascension up the Official Singles Chart, Eliza Rose & Interplanetary Criminal have scooped the landmark chart-topper, toppling LF SYSTEM from their eight-week stint in the throne.
The feat has been achieved just ahead of the 70th anniversary of the Official Singles Chart in November, and seven years to the week since the 1300th Number 1 single – Rachel Platten’s Fight Song.
Other landmark Number 1s include (of course) the first ever Number 1, Here In My Heart by Al Martino, Help! by the Beatles (200), Don’t Cry For Me Argentina from Evita, performed by Julie Covington (400), and Lady Marmalade by Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, Mýa and Pink (900).

Bearing in mind it will take a minimum 2 years (well, 4 weeks short for 100 singles) to get the next 100 #1 each time. We've had some supremely fast turnovers in the 800's, 100's and 1200's. The current 1300's taking 7 years to the week, is just 4 months faster than the slowest turnover since records began: the first hundred.

I've checked several times and by my reckoning LF System was the 1400th #1.
