"4 Minutes", by American singer-songwriter Madonna(pictured), was released as the lead single of her eleventh studio album Hard Candy (2008), featuring vocals by American singers Justin Timberlake and Timbaland. The song peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Madonna her 37th top-ten single and breaking the all-time record previously held by Elvis Presley. It also received positive reviews and topped the charts in twenty-one countries, including Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. An uptempo dance-pop song with an urban and hip hop style, "4 Minutes" incorporates Timbaland's characteristic bhangra beats, with brass, foghorns and cowbells. It was performed by Madonna on the promotional tour for Hard Candy and the 2008–09 Sticky & Sweet Tour. The song received two Grammy Award nominations for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals and Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical at the 2009 ceremony. In the accompanying music video, Madonna and Timberlake are running away from a giant black screen that devours everything in its path, including them, in the end. She cited the song as the inspiration for the documentary I Am Because We Are (2008). (Full article...)

Fifty-five singles reached number one on the Top Pops charts. The pop music newspaper was founded as a monthly publication by Woodrow Wyatt in May 1967, becoming fortnightly in November 1967. On 25 May 1968, editor Colin Bostock-Smith began compiling a singles sales chart using a telephone sample of approximately twelve W H Smith & Son stores – the first single to reach number one on the Top Pops chart was "Young Girl" by Gary Puckett & The Union Gap. The charts and paper were published weekly with effect from 22 June 1968. On 20 September 1969 the paper was rebranded Top Pops & Music Now, and subsequently became Music Now from 21 March 1970. From 27 February 1971 the chart was no longer published and in May 1971 the newspaper ceased publication. The only song to be knocked off number one and then regain the top spot was "Mony Mony" by Tommy James and the Shondells. The final chart-topper was "My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison(pictured).
