  UK Singles Chart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The precise number is debatable due to the profusion of different competing charts during the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, although the usual list used is that endorsed by the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles and subsequently adopted by The Official UK Charts Company.
Singles that climb the charts and spend a number of weeks at a high position are now rare, and usually denote 'super' singles, which manage to enter the public consciousness and appeal to a wide range of people.
At that time singles usually took several weeks to climb to a high position in the charts, and it was rare and remarkable for a single to go straight in at number 1.

Hailed as one of Britain's most refreshing new bands, Hard-Fi have been nominated for the tuneful mix of rock, pop, ska and disco on their debut album Stars of CCTV.
It went to number six when it was released in July and has spawned two Top 20 singles - but has not been ranked among the favourites for the Mercury by the bookies.

Ram Jam are probably best known for this hit single from their 1997 self-titled album: “this electrifying update of a Huddie Ledbetter blues tune layers on plenty of searing electric guitar riffs and a steady 4/4 drum beat that turns the song into a strange but exhilarating blend of heavy metal and disco.” [AMG]
