List of artists who reached number one on the UK Singles Downloads Chart
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The UK Singles Downloads Chart is a weekly music chart that ranks most-downloaded songs in the United Kingdom over the past seven days. It is compiled by the Official Charts Company on behalf of the British music industry,[1] and is based solely on non-subscription downloads of songs from official music retailers. The chart was founded in 2004 and was first published on 1 September that year. The first artist ever to reach number one was Irish boy band Westlife.[2] Since then, as of 13 April 2013[update], 200 different artists have reached number-one on the UK Singles Downloads Chart as either a main or featured artist. The following table lists those artists. The totals do not include non-credited appearances (such as those on multiple-artist charity ensembles), although they are listed below.
