In 2011, eleven different singles have topped the chart – with singer Adele and musician Example each claiming three of them.

After an incredible nine consecutive weeks at the peak, "Someone Like You" was dethroned on 24 April by Wretch 32 and Example's collaborative single "Unorthodox" – which having peaked at number 2 on the singles chart remained at the top spot for three consecutive weeks.

On 15 May, Iranian singer Yasmin debuted at number-one on the chart with second single "Finish Line", although its time at the peak was short lived when Adele's "Someone Like You" returned to the number-one spot to continue a non-consecutive run currently totalling seventeen weeks.

Adele was then dethroned for a third time during 2011 when French DJ Alex Gaudino topped the chart with Kelly Rowland-collaborated "What a Feeling" on 4 June.

Having spent four consecutive weeks at the peak, Example was dethroned on 10 July by Ministry of Sound artist DJ Fresh with the Sian Evans-assisted "Louder" – which also topped the singles chart.

Singer Adele dominated early 2011; spending a total of sixteen weeks at the peak, firstly with her 2010 peaking " Make You Feel My Love " then with " Rolling in the Deep " and " Someone Like You ".
Example earned a further three number-one singles in 2011 with " Changed the Way You Kiss Me ", " Stay Awake " and the Wretch 32 collaboration " Unorthodox ".
