Louis @ 6 with What A Wonderful World. Louis at 67 years became the oldest UK chart topper with this iconic single. @GerrySherry @The3rdFrame @JimmynotP @East15Gerrard @FrankH67 @Elizabeth241072 @mrob1960 @dannybhoy170 @Southdoncosmos @OFearaigh @trueclausefour @DKFreako

@The3rdFrame @SteveMcGrory2 @GerrySherry @JimmynotP @East15Gerrard @FrankH67 @Elizabeth241072 @dannybhoy170 @Southdoncosmos @OFearaigh @trueclausefour @DKFreako Cancel my second answer as well James, I was going with living, singles wise it was Captain Sir Tom Moore and Michael Ball with the worst version of YNWA ever put on tape. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@The3rdFrame @SteveMcGrory2 @GerrySherry @JimmynotP @East15Gerrard @FrankH67 @Elizabeth241072 @dannybhoy170 @Southdoncosmos @OFearaigh @trueclausefour @DKFreako Singular or from a band? Singular possibly Tom Jones, from a band McCartney and Ringo? 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@dannybhoy170 @The3rdFrame @SteveMcGrory2 @GerrySherry @JimmynotP @East15Gerrard @FrankH67 @Elizabeth241072 @Southdoncosmos @OFearaigh @trueclausefour @DKFreako He was actually an English boy Laurie London, but the way he sang He’s got the whole world in his hands I’d have sworn that he was Scottish. 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@The3rdFrame @mrob1960 @SteveMcGrory2 @GerrySherry @JimmynotP @East15Gerrard @FrankH67 @Elizabeth241072 @Southdoncosmos @OFearaigh @trueclausefour @DKFreako Was it that wee Scots boy who was on the Perry Como show in 1950s?

Maryhill's finest, Donovan Leitch with Jennifer Juniper @ 9. Fantastic single, which evokes the era so well! @GerrySherry @The3rdFrame @JimmynotP @East15Gerrard @FrankH67 @Elizabeth241072 @mrob1960 @dannybhoy170 @Southdoncosmos @OFearaigh @trueclausefour @DKFreako

@The3rdFrame @dannybhoy170 @SteveMcGrory2 @GerrySherry @JimmynotP @East15Gerrard @FrankH67 @Elizabeth241072 @Southdoncosmos @OFearaigh @trueclausefour @DKFreako Was it from the Tartan/shortbread tin era, this one’s an outsider since it was written in World War One.

@trueclausefour @SteveMcGrory2 @Southdoncosmos @GerrySherry @The3rdFrame @JimmynotP @East15Gerrard @FrankH67 @mrob1960 @dannybhoy170 @OFearaigh @DKFreako Omg so you’ve now listened to it for yourself Paul! It’s definitely a surge isn’t and you me it also hints at ‘coercive control’ - yuck !! However - Solomon’s ‘When We Were Young’ from later in 1968 was less commercially successful but much better imo

@ 1, it's Kate with WH - a classic single to finish off 2 classic charts. Thanks to all who input over the past 2 hours!👍😍 @GerrySherry @The3rdFrame @JimmynotP @East15Gerrard @FrankH67 @Elizabeth241072 @mrob1960 @dannybhoy170 @Southdoncosmos @OFearaigh @trueclausefour @DKFreako

To save you thumbing through the thread, the 4 other Scottish acts to hit US No. 1 were Lulu, Average White Band, Bay City Rollers & Sheena Easton
