Easter Number Ones

The Christmas number one is a big thing in the UK charts, but the Easter number one is a bit of a non entity. Likewise, we don't really get Easter songs, the only UK top 40 hit ever to have the word Easter in the title was "Easter" by Marillion which reached number 34 in 1990.

I thought it would be interesting to find out what has been Easter number one each year. Seems like many years ago the people at everyhit.com had the same idea. The list can be found here. However, it only goes up to 2004 so I thought I'd list the Easter number ones we've had since.

2005: Tony Christie ft Peter Kay - Is This the Way to Amarillo
2006: Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
2007: Beyoncé ft Shakira - Beautiful Liar
2008: Duffy - Mercy
2009: Lady Gaga - Pokerface
2010: Scouting for Girls - This Ain't a Love Song
2011: LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem
2012: Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe
2013: PJ & Duncan - Let's Get Ready to Rumble
2014: Mr Probz - Waves
2015: Jess Glynne - Hold My Hand
2016: Mike Posner - I Took a Pill in Ibiza
2017: Harry Styles - Sign of the Times
