Fact: Since I was born (to today) there have been 47 UK number one hit singles containing the word ‘love’ including hits by Little Jimmy Osmond (Long Haired Lover From Liverpool), Kraftwerk (The Model / Computer Love – to give it an official title), Glenn Medeiros (Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love For You) and the Black Eyed Peas (Where Is The Love). Two number one hit singles had ‘sex’ in the title (Rod Stewart and Color Me Badd) but none seem to have had death in the song title.

This week’s Number One is Steve Brookstein’s version of Against All Odds which has also been a Number One selling hit for Mariah Carey & Westlife and Phil Collins.
