Did you know that King Charles III and the Official Singles Chart share a birthday? While the King was born on 14 November 1948, the UK's first Official Singles Chart was issued on 14 November 1952, over 70 years ago, meaning our sovereign was just four years old when Al Martino's Here In My Heart became the first ever Official UK Number 1 single.

With King Charles III's coronation taking place today (May 6), we're opening the Official Charts archives to reveal what was the Official UK Number 1 single on each of his birthdays from 1952 to 2022.

As can be expected, with nearly 71 years of music history to sift through, it's an eclectic list; with chart-toppers from a wild range of acts from David Bowie and T'Pau to Cheryl and Tones & I.

A few artists, though, managed to get consecutive entries: Elvis - It's Now Or Never (1960) and His Latest Flame/Little Sisters (1961) Robson & Jerome - I Believe/Up On The Roof (1995) and What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted (1996) Westlife - Queen of My Heart (2001) and Unbreakable (2002) Rihanna - Only Girl In The World (2010) and Calvin Harris collab We Found Love (2011) It's been said that certain birthday Number 1s can offer a glimpse into what the future holds...
