UK No1's - Lauren's pick

Going through the UK's history of No.1 singles, I decided that I would pick my top twenty favourites just to see how many I agreed with! Going through pages of the internet trying to find the best of the bunch wasn't easy, especially when you have someone like me who decides to sing all the songs your eyes come across. Anyway, this is beside the point, without any further or due, here is my top twenty favourites, I have put them in order of the month and year that the singles became No.1. I couldn't possibly choose a specific favourite from Lennon to Frankie Goes to Hollywood, could I?

1. Elvis Presley - Jailhouse rock
