For most, bagging just one Number 1 single can be an almighty feat, but for others, it just seems to come naturally.
Since the Irish Singles Chart's inception in 1962, acts across a range of decades and genres have hogged the top spot on the multiple occasions. Let's take a look.
U2 - 21
Way out in front with the most chart-toppers in Ireland are U2, who have racked up an eye-popping 21 Number 1s to date, starting with The Unforgettable Fire in 1985, the title track from their fourth studio album that was inspired by an art exhibition by victims of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that was held at The Peace Museum in Chicago.
After that, the band were often a shoo-in for Number 1 until their most recent, 2009's Get On Your Boots, from their No Line On The Horizon album. One of their most successful singles is Beautiful Day, which spent three weeks at the top in 2000.

Dustin the Turkey - 7
The star of RTE's The Den for 21 years, Dustin The Turkey has been described as "the most subversive comedy force on Irish television". The turkey-vulture creature with a Dublin accent thicker than expired milk also ran a hugely successful music career in tandem with his TV show, topping the Irish Singles Chart on seven occasions. What's more, he always did it in style; his first was the 1990 Irish Christmas Number 1, fittingly titled The Christmas No.1, while in 1996 he teamed up with Bob Geldof on a cover of Rat Trap.

Britney rules.. It's surprising that Oops did not make it to #1 in Ireland, it peaked #2

John Lennon have a total of 16 number ones with his three number one solo works plus 13 from Beatles, George Harrison have a total of 15 number ones with his two number one solo works plus 13 from Beatles

Paul McCartney have the most number one appearances with his solo and collaboration works with Beatles, a total of 24 number ones
Ronan Keating have 2 more solo number ones plus 9 from Boyzone, a total of 11 number ones
Brian McFadden have 3 more solo number ones plus 11 from Westlife, a total of 14 number ones
Shane Filan, Mark Feehily, Kian Egan, and Nicky Byrne have an appearance in the number one single Everybody Hurts making their total to 14 number ones. Their 2019 single Hello My Love was released in a Thursday, sales from that day alone made them debut at #67 on week 1. Week 2 it peaked at #2 with 39 sales only behind to #1. We can all say it really is a number one single if only the Thursday sales was included in the week 2 count.

Westlife almost had their 14th number one with Hello My Love. It was leading on the first midweek update by 200 copies but lost at the final chart by Sweet by Psycho with just 39 copies
