List Of Artists By Number Of UK Singles Chart Number Ones
The UK singles chart was first published in 1952. It is currently compiled by the Official Charts Company (OCC). To qualify for entry on this list of artists who have reached number one in the chart since its inception, the artist in question must have been individually credited as an artist on four or more number one singles. Simply playing or singing on a single is not counted (for example as part of a group or supergroup), so, for example Clem Cattini, a prolific session musician who has played on over 40 number ones, is not included. Also not included are The Jordanaires, who were credited on 11 number ones with Elvis Presley between 1957 and 1963 by The Virgin Book of British Hit Singles (who based their data on the record's label info and the catalogue numbers of the chart hit) but not currently by the OCC. Unlike The Shadows, who had 7 number ones backing Cliff Richard (including one using their original name, the Drifters), The Jordanaires never charted in their own right and ...

Good is generally considered to be the opposite of evil and is of interest in the study of ethics, morality, philosophy, and religion. The specific meaning and etymology of the term and its associated translations among ancient and contemporary languages show substantial variation in its inflection and meaning, depending on circumstances of place and history, or of philosophical or religious context.
