No. 1s

[stoogmeister]

When was the last time a song climbed to no. 1 in the British charts instead of going straight in at no. 1? When was the last time a song was knocked off of the top spot and then it went back to no. 1? How many no. 1s have there been? What's the average time a no. 1 spends at there?

The last no.1 to climb there was Can We Fix It? by Bob The Builder (though DJ Otzi's Hey Baby was also listed as a climber because of a bug in the chart computer which meant it couldn't tell the UK issue from the import). The last song to climb back to no1 was Gotta get Thru This by Daniel Bedingfield just over a year ago.
