- Every Billboard Number 1 Song By British Artists (1962-2022).
I decided not to include songs where the British artist is the feature and not the main artist, or one of the main artists. Such as:
Rihanna Ft Calvin Harris - We Found Love (even though he completely wrote and produced it)
Elton John on 'That’s What Friends Are For' & a couple of songs 21 Savage was featured on.
Let me know your rankings and favourites in the comments. Cheers!

Fair Dealing
Source: www.gov.uk/guidance/exception...
Certain exceptions only apply if the use of the work is a ‘fair dealing’. For example, the exceptions relating to research and private study, criticism or review, or news reporting.
‘Fair dealing’ is a legal term used to establish whether a use of copyright material is lawful or whether it infringes copyright. There is no statutory definition of fair dealing - it will always be a matter of fact, degree and impression in each case. The question to be asked is: how would a fair-minded and honest person have dealt with the work?
Factors that have been identified by the courts as relevant in determining whether a particular dealing with a work is fair include:
* does using the work affect the market for the original work? If a use of a work acts as a substitute for it, causing the owner to lose revenue, then it is not likely to be fair
* is the amount of the work taken reasonable and appropriate? Was it necessary to use the amount that was taken? Usually only part of a work may be used
The relative importance of any one factor will vary according to the case in hand and the type of dealing in question.

The concept of fair usage exists within UK copyright law; commonly referred to as fair dealing, or free use and fair practice. It’s a framework designed to allow the lawful use or reproduction of work without having to seek permission from the copyright owner(s) or creator(s) or infringing their interest.
Fair dealing law is not only applicable to text-based works; it applies to musical, dramatic, artistic, literary and typographical works too. However, it does not cover the copyright of printed music.
As an exception to British copyright law, fair dealing is governed by Sections 29 and 30 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, which outlines three instance where fair dealing is a legitimate defence:
* If the use is for the purposes of research or private study;
* If it is used for the purposes of criticism, review or quotation;
* Where it is utilised for the purposes of reporting current events (this does not apply to photographs)
A statutory definition for fair dealing does not exist; it will always be a matter of fact, degree and interpretation in every fair dealing case. Nor is there a percentage or quantitative measure to determine fair dealing. The Intellectual Property Office lists the key factors used to determine the validity of whether a particular dealing with a work is fair as follows:
* Has the use of the work impacted negatively on the market for the original work? If the creator or owner has lost potential revenue through the re-use of their work, it is not likely to be fair.
* Was it reasonable and necessary to use the amount of work that was taken?
The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 also outlines the potential fair dealing defences that permit the use of copyright works without permission from the author(s) or creator(s) under UK copyright law. - Zábava

Also i know Olivia Newton-John was born in England but she moved to Australia very young and i think considered herself Australian, but the Bee Gees were just as British as they were Australian if not more really. Same With Rupert Holmes (Pina Colada song) but America not Australia. Let me know your rankings and favourites in the comments. Cheers!
21 Savage moved to the USA very young, I think he considers himself American too, nationalities are tricky though
@@1ToTheInfinity Yeah i think that was part of the jokes when it was revealed he was born in England lol. Yeah it is when its dual nationalities and deciding whats more prominent etc. Thanks for watching
@@Media_Ranker it is. I remember being surprised that Daniel Bedingfield qualified for a British BRIT award, given he was born in New Zealand. Apparently he had to show them his British passport to be nominated.
A+ video!
Awesome songs!
Thanks! Top 100 Most Streamed Songs By British artists coming soon, hopefully this evening
Australian here. If you're claiming the Bee Gees are from the UK (technically yes) you should have included Olivia Newton john as well, because she was born there too. "Physical" spent 10 weeks at number one, the longest of any song of the '80s.
Well i was torn, i did mention that in my pinned comment, I knew she was born here but from what i saw she really considered herself Australian it seems? She moved over as a kid i believe. Whereas the Bee Gees actually formed and started in England before moving over there, then went back and forth i think. But maybe i could have included her and put a note on the screen or something. With anything similar in the future i think ill do that. Cheers
ONJ was both British and Australian.
Hah, we're getting rickrolled, how sneaky! 😁
Haha i take no responsibility...rickrolled twice too technically. Thanks for watching
Amazing how the charts are dominated by just a handful of British bands
Yeah especially in the 60s and 80s, still quite a few that people wouldnt have known were british though. Cheers
14:00 that song was number 1 for 2 weeks
Billy Ocean? yeah youre right thats my bad
It will take me a while to put my list together this time - lol
Haha no worries, personally the mid 80s was very strong here for me!
@@Media_Ranker For me it will be the older stuff
When it got to less than four minutes left and we were still in the 80s, I thought the other three decades must be pretty short and I was right.
No wonder so much fuss was made about the Spice Girls, Leona Lewis & Adele having US success. You can sum most of the 2010 ones up as either Adele, Ed Sheeran or One Direction.
Yeah there really was a big shift after the 80s wasnt there! I think these last years have been the most successful for Brits in america since then really, even if it isnt number ones but overall streaming etc. The 3 you mentioned but also Harry Styles, Calvin Harris, Dua Lipa, Sam Smith and a few others. Cheers
@@Media_Ranker I think part of the recent success can be explained by streaming and global release days. There is much less differentiation between markets now. The 60s & 80s British Invasions of the US were quite the opposite; the Brits were doing something new and cool that US acts weren't doing yet, whether it was the Merseybeat sound of the Beatles and other bands, or the New Romantics in the early 80s. On the other hand, the gaps come mostly from when the US wasn't that interested in what the British were doing, whether it was glam rock in the early 70s, rave culture in the early 90s or Britpop in the mid 90s. Growing up in the UK in the 90s myself, we didn't have that many hits from US artists either. Both sides were all about their homegrown talent.
@@gnu_andrew Yeah streaming is a huge part of that now but its good that british artists are still some of the absolute biggest. We wont get another era like the 60s or 80s unfortunately. I noticed that with my 2000s UK number 1s video, i actually think we could have done with more American number 1s there were some awful songs lol. Cheers
@@Media_Ranker lol I'd definitely swap some of the X Factor and Pop Idol ones, that's for sure! Thanks for an interesting video.
9:06: Air Supply is Aussie!
They are a duo, one english and one Australian so they are as much british as Australian. Cheers
music got better when it entered the 70's
Yeah i would agree actually, 60s had great stuff too of course but may not have been high on the charts. Especially when they didnt have a chance with The Beatles dominating so much lol. Thanks for watching
I find it interesting there was a break in 1972 and 1996 and a huge gap between 1997 and 2006
Yeah i was expecting there to be less from the 90s but not no number ones for practically a decade! But actually when i did my UK chart number 1s in the 2000s you can see that we were listening to pretty different things at that time for some reason lol and in the late 90s the UK had their own boybands and girlbands too so that might be part of it. Thanks for watching
@@Media_Ranker the US never did Britpop or dance music. I think that sums up most of the difference. It would be interesting to do it the other way and see if American artists at #1 in the UK slumps in the same way. I know we didn't care for Mariah Carey as much as Billboard did. I'd expect most of the 90s UK #1s by US artists to be Madonna or MJ (and even that's not many)
I had no idea The Bay City Rollers were from the UK.
Yeah, Scotland specifically but obviously doing a very american style! Cheers

Great list again, if theres one thing Brits can do its pop music isnt it! Cheers
What happened between 1998 and 2005? No British songs listed?? 🤔
Yep wasnt a single number 1 by Brits in that time, if you check out my 2000s UK number 1's video it seems we were quite different in what we were listening to on either side of the pond in those years lol. Cheers
I had no idea that Paul Mcartney had so many solo hits over there.
I was surprised too, especially that 'Maybe I'm Amazed' wasnt one of the numbers 1's as well. Cheers
Adele is overrated. It’s like she’s yelling at you when she sings. Not a fan.
@@RJS1974 You definitely wont have liked that Lewis Capaldi song then lol. Cheers
@@RJS1974 I'm glad you said that. I agree. She's been lucky enough to have some decent songs on her albums 'but they're not that good.' She's not as good as someone like Alison Moyet who actually has a voice. But I also feel the same about Ed Sheerin who's good but not as good as he's made out to be.
@@paulhagen5645 they're all pretty bland, but the US tends to like bland. All the Adele and Ed Sheeran songs in this video are basically indistinguishable from each other. One trick ponies.
Didn’t “There Must Be An Angel Playing With My Heart” from Eurthymics reach #1?
It did in the UK but not on the US billboard chart, it should have though, great song! Cheers
@@Media_Ranker OK, thanks. And yes, great song.
There are 2 things that I don't understand and they catch my attention.
1. I feel that in the USA they were very behind, how could it be that in the 70s there were so many number 1s by Ex Beatles? In the UK practically none of those were number 1, perhaps only My Sweet Lord.
2. Phil Collins' success in the USA is incredible, much greater than in the UK, something similar to the case of Elton John (who only had 3 songs in the top 3 in the UK between the 70s and 80s, but in this new century he made 7 collaborations and they were number 1, which in my opinion, stains their legacy, since they are songs that no one really knows and they only lasted 1 week at number 1 and in the top 10)
I'm Canadian and some songs don't have the same success here as they do in the U.S. or U.K. and vice versa - I don't understand why you find that concept so hard to grasp ?
The momentum from The Beatles success and size probably carried into their solo work over there a bit more perhaps, thats my best guess anyway. Yeah doing these videos im always very surprised by the fact that both Elton John & Queen didnt have the singles chart success (or at least number ones) you would think given the size they are as artists overall! On both sides of the pond too really. Cheers
Elton John famously didn't get a solo UK #1 until "Sacrifice/Healing Hands" in 1990. I guess his style fitted the US more in the early 70s, whereas over here in the UK it was all glam rock (six number ones for Slade, for example, who didn't do anything much Stateside in the 70s)
I see the same in the late 80s. The US is loving George Michael & Phil Collins ballads, while the UK is into Kylie & Jason and early dance music.
I think this video also makes the solo Beatles songs stand out because they dominated the British acts appearing in the US charts; most of the 70s British acts weren't crossing over.
@@gnu_andrew The most curious thing about Elton's case is that he never had a solo number 1 song on his first release. Since initially "Sacrifice" was a flop, the same for "Are You Ready For Love", and "Candle In The Wind" reached number 1 after having been #11 in the 70s and reaching the top 10 in the 80s with a live version.
