- Cliff Richard, Ed Sheeran, Westlife (14) Ed Sheeran earned his landmark 14th UK Number 1 single with the Max Martin-produced Eyes Closed in March 2023.
- Madonna (13) The most successful female artist in UK chart history. Madonna's 13 Number 1 took 23 years to rack up – from Into The Groove (1985) to 4 Minutes (2008) – and she has plenty of near-misses too.
