Panda's Top 200 UK Number Ones (FULL CHART)

[Panda]

I last did one of these in 2018, I think. Back then it was a top 100 so this time I'm doing 200.

I'll count down 200-101 25 songs at a time, then I'll post the videos for the top 100.

Entries per decade (based on the decade in which the song first reached no.1):
1950s - 3
1960s - 33
1970s - 27
1980s - 60
1990s - 51
2000s - 20
2010s - 4
2020s - 2

Just had a scroll through here, lots of brilliant choices... and Tiger Feet 

I did this a while ago and I think Stand By Me was number 1, I should revisit it sometime. I would include more recent ones than you have, after a lull in the 2010s I'm finding quite a lot of stuff in the charts which I like again.
