This list of number one singles is based on charts published in New Musical Express. The dates given are for publication of the magazine - the Saturday follwing the actual publication on a Wednesday. The chart would therefore be the current one at the time of going to press.

The New Musical Express has been used as it has provided the most consistent charts since the magazine first published a British "Hit Parade" in 1952.
