UK Singles Chart Official Charts Company Christmas number one

The Beatles had eighteen number-one singles on the NME chart, only one of which never topped the Record Retailer chart.

The NME (or New Musical Express) is a British weekly popular music newspaper. Record charts in the United Kingdom began on 14 November 1952 when NME imitated an idea started in American Billboard magazine compiled their own hit parade. Until 15 February 1969, when the British Market Research Bureau (BMRB) chart was established, many periodicals compiled their own charts.^[1] During this time the BBC used aggregated results of the prominent NME, Melody Maker, Disc, Record Mirror and, later, Record Retailer charts to compile their Pick of the Pops chart. Prior to 1969 there was no universally accepted source or "official" singles chart;^[2]^[3]^[4] however, the Official Chart Company and Guinness' British Hit Singles & Albums regard the canonical sources for this period as NME before 10 March 1960 and Record Retailer from then until the BMRB took over in 1969.^[5] Although Record Retailer is now the most predominantly used source for charting music in the 1960s, NME had the biggest circulation of charts in the decade and was more widely followed.^[2]^[3] After the BMRB was formed NME continued compiling its own chart up until 14 May 1988.^[1]

The Allisons's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest, entitled "Are You Sure?", was the first single to be number one in the NME chart but not to reach the top spot in Record Retailer's chart.^[3] In total, sixteen songs failed to reach number one with Record Retailer but topped the NME chart.^[3]^[6]^[7] In 1969, after the BMRB chart was introduced, four songs topped the NME but not the BMRB chart. Notable discrepancies include "19th Nervous Breakdown" which reached number one on the NME, Disc, and Melody Maker charts, topped the BBC's Pick of the Pops aggregated chart and was announced as number one on Top of the Pops; however, because it did not reach number one on the Record Retailer chart it is omitted from the Official Chart Company's canon.^[2] The Beatles' "Please Please Me" suffered the same fate so, arguably, should be considered The Beatles' first number-one single.^[3] Conversely, Elvis Presley's double A-side, "Rock-A-Hula Baby"/"Can't Help Falling in Love", reached number one on all charts except NME because the entries were split by NME according to which song was requested when the shop returned its figures.^[2]^[3]

Number-one singles

Elvis Presley had eleven number-one singles on the NME chart, including two not recognised by The Official Chart Company.

Kenny Rogers' first number-one single on the NME chart came over seven years before he reached the top of Record Retailer's chart.

Joe Brown said the decision to favour the Record Retailer chart "has deprived me of my only number one".^[3]

Len Barry's only number-one single was on the NME chart with "1-2-3".

Adam Faith's "Poor Me" was the last number-one single for which NME is considered the canonical source.

Key: Italics – Prior to 10 March 1960 the NME is considered by the Official Chart Company as the canonical source.; † – The song did not reach number one on the Record Retailer chart which is considered by the Official Chart Company as the canonical source until 15 February 1969.; ‡ – The song did not reach number one on the BMRB chart which is considered as the official chart after 15 February 1969.; ^{[nb #]} – The song spent a week at number one, where it shared the top spot with another song.
