AFTER Keighley-born Captain Tom Moore went to number one in the UK singles charts with his version of You’ll Never Walk Alone this week, here's a look back at other chart toppers from the district.
Love Affair – Everlasting Love (1968)
Love Affair, who featured Bradford bass player Michael Jackson, covered this song, a year after its initial release.
Love Affair’s version featured a standout vocal performance from Steve Ellis.
It was number one for two weeks from January 31, 1968.
Kiki Dee & Elton John – Don’t Go Breaking My Heart (1976)
The Little Horton-born singer, real name Pauline Matthews, teamed up with the Rocket Man for this timeless track.
The single remained at number one for six weeks after Kiki had replaced Dusty Springfield for the duet.
Ade Edmondson/Young Ones & Cliff Richard - Livin' Doll (1986)
This odd on paper collaboration, featuring Bradford-born Edmondson, worked as they stayed at number one for three weeks in March 1986, toppling Diana Ross' Chain Reaction.
Tasmin Archer – Sleeping Satellite (1992)
The Bradford-born singer achieved the ultimate accolade with her debut single, Sleeping Satellite.
Archer's hit knocked Shamen’s Ebeneezer Goode off the top spot when it started its two-week run in October 1992.
Kimberley Walsh/Girls Aloud - Four number ones
Bradford-born Walsh had a string of chart successes as one fifth of the girl band, including their first number one at Christmas 2002.
Here they won the battle of the bands with One True Voice for a star debut after appearing on the Popstars: The Rivals TV series. It stayed at top spot for four weeks.
Girls had three further UK number ones with I’ll Stand By You in November 2004 for two weeks; Walk This Way – Sugababes v Girls Aloud in March 2007 for one week and The Promise for one week in November 2009.
Gareth Gates - Four number ones
Someone else from Bradford who achieved chart stardom after appearing on a TV talent contest was Pop Idol winner Gates.
Gates' cover of Unchained Melody was top of the pops for four weeks in Match 2002. He followed this up with three more chart toppers.
Anyone of Us (Stupid Mistake) was number one for three weeks in July that year and his Top 40 dominance continued when he and Pop Idol runner-up Will Young secure top spot with a cover of The Beatles' Long and Winding Road in September 2002.
Gates' final number one came in March 2003 with a cover of the Doctor and the Medics hit Spirit in the Sky. This stayed at number one for two weeks.
Zayn Malik/One Direction - Five number Ones
East Bowling's most famous son achieved four number ones while he was a member of boy band One Direction.
What Makes You Beautiful was the first in September 2001, followed by Little Things in November 2012, then One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks) in February 2013 and finally Drag Me Down in August 2015.
He has also had one solo number one to date; Pillowtalk in 2016.
