Our main database does not give the precise date that a record reached the Number One spot. That situation is remedied here.

Note that dates given on these 'Number 1' pages are for 'week ending'

NOTE: You can quickly find out the 'realtime' Number 1 single / album on a specific date via our date engine.

For a distinction between 'realtime' and 'week ending' Number 1s, please see the faqs.

You should also be aware of a few number one quirks.
