That must be some kind of record :o

Had it not been for Bob the Builder, I believe they would have had another record a while ago for the longest run of back to back #1 hits

Almost...

Elvis Presley has managed to hit the top 21 times (16 in his lifetime, with three of those being re-issues...)

The Beatles have been there 17 times...

And Cliff Richard has been there 14 times...

Who would you rather have at Number One, Cliff Richard or Westlife?

Well, I had to look it up and indeed it is...

I'd imagine that the Irish drips have sapped every last ounce of enjoyment out of Bette's original... :-\\

More or less in the same way when they tackled 'Seasons In The Sun', 'Mandy', 'Against All Odds', 'Uptown Girl', etc. etc.
