There have been 1383 UK chart single number 1s since 1952.
Many consider this song, which celebrates teenage innocence, to be the UK's first ever summer hit. Strangely, though it entered the UK charts in August, this song arrived at #1 in the rather unseasonal month of October. The Dave Clark Five revived this song in 1970, but their version proved less successful peaking at #44 in the UK.
