Editorial Reviews
From the Label
They've penned UK No1's in each of four decades. They're the only song-writing team to have written hit singles in each of five decades. Ranked in the top five most successful recording artists ever, with Barry being rated as the all-time No3 record producer with the most No1 records (14) to his credit. The only recording artists to write and produce six straight number one singles. The first composers to have five songs in the Top 10 at the same time. Most covered writers ever with literally thousands of recorded versions of their songs. Seven Grammy Awards, members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in both the US and Australia and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
The Number Ones Album is a celebration of a lifetime of hits for Robin, Barry and Maurice. The one disc release contains 20 tracks, 19 of which have been No1's around the world with final track "Man In The Middle" included as a special tribute to Maurice, who passed away in January 2003.
CD Description
One of the biggest pop groups of all time follow the trend of "number ones" albums set by The Beatles, Elvis and Michael Jackson. This features hits from charts the world over andspans their entire career from the folk-pop of the 60s and 70s through their triumphant disco period. Also included is 2001's 'Man In The Middle' as the surviving brothers' tribute to the late Maurice, and their own version of 'Islands In The Stream' which was a US no.1 for Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.
Customer Reviews
Just what you'd expect from the title!
Really good, no surprises there seeing as the songs are old faithfuls. The only issue I have is with the song order, but that's just a minor niggle, and probably everyone else would disagree anyway. Buy it!
A Different Collection Of Songs!
Not to be excluded from the list of other artists that have released compilations containing only #1 songs, the Bee Gees have no problems. Although some of the hits didn't actually make #1 in the UK, some may have been #1 in several other countries, prompting it to be thankfully included here.
The song "Man in the Middle" is included as a tribute to the late Maurice Gibb. "Number Ones" features 20-tracks, adding cuts such as "More Than a Woman" and "Islands in the Stream," a 1983 No. 1 hit for Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. If you buy this early, you'll get the limited-edition CD/DVD combo which includes rare footage of the Bee Gees performing "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart," "How Deep Is Your Love," "Jive Talkin'," "Massachusetts" and "I Started a Joke" (from the U.K. TV show "An Audience With").
In this version, "More Than A Woman" replaces the USA versions "Lonely Days" and adds the tracks, "Immortality" and "Islands In The Stream", which are the same versions that are on "The Record".
