What was the last truly great UK #1 single?

I reckon maybe Groovejet by Spiller & Sophie Ellis Bexter

Anything more recent?

Or if you think this is shite what’s your shout?

Can’t really argue with the quality of Groovejet, that’s an absolute banger. I’m engaged in a forever war over how good it is in our house (and Take Me Home, which I think has one of the best basslines ever)

Blinding Lights probably.

Yeah, I’d agree. It was probably the last CD number one single that I bought too.

Was that a #1 ? I had no idea

An undoubtedly triumph pop culture moment …but is it really a tune that will stand the test of time? Not sure

Last Christmas got to number one this year for some reason. Think that’s a pretty great single tbh.

Not actually new though is it so probably shouldn’t count.

Decent but not ’Truly Great’ imho

It’s better than Groovejet.

Reissues that already got to #1 the first time around count from when they first reached #1

Good shout, but

It comes in strong but there isn’t much substance and it just pretty much loops to fade after the first chorus

Does come in phenomenally strong though. A definite contender

Last Christmas didn’t get to #1 the first time around
