i am looking for a list of british bands who have reached number one with a cover version

[halfadaily]

I'd have thought anything by Westlife for starters

[4getmenot]

Take That with How Deep is your love. Girls aloud - I'll stand by you. Blue sorry seems to be the hardest word. Atomic Kitten - The tide is high and Eternal Flame. Five - We will Rock you

[shazbang]

Unchained Melody has been No1 about 3 times. And anything by westlife. You could count Oasis I suppose seeing as all their songs are rip offs of the Beatles. Too many covers going around if you ask me. Has nobody anything original anymore?

[dr pop]

Jealous Guy - Roxy Music , The Lion Sleeps Tonight - Tight Fit,Pass The Dutchie - Musical youth,Red Red Red Wine,Can`t help fallin in love,I got you babe-UB40,Only You - Flying Pickets,Spirit in the Sky-Doctor and the Medics,Always on my Mind -Pet Shop Boys,With a little help from my friends/Love is all around - Wet Wet Wet,Abba-esque EP - Erasure,Relight my fire,how deep is your love - Take That,All the Boyzone "songs",Tragedy - Steps(never a truer song title)

I` m sure there`s millions more but my brain hurts

[dr pop]

Take on me - A1(who?),A lilttle bit more - 911
