Number one singles[edit]

I have removed the information stating Lonnie Lee achieved eight number one singles in Australia, and supplied two references to show this is NOT correct. He has not even had three. Perhaps he had number one radio play hits or something like that. But he certainly did not achieve eight number one singles on the Australian music charts. Gavin Ryan, one of Australia's most knowledgable chart experts states that Australian acts with the most number one singles in Australian chart history (1940 to the present day) are as follows -

Kylie Minogue - 10
Delta Goodrem - 8
Guy Sebastian - 6
Olivia Newton-John - 5
Johnny O’Keefe - 4
John Farnham - 4
The Easybeats - 3
Silverchair - 3
The Seekers - 3
Shannon Noll - 3

Ryan is a member of the Australian Charts website, and prepares the ARIA Chart reports for the media, and also writes the chart reports for Noise 11. Lee is not even credited with having achieved three, let alone eight. The only references supplied are the artist's own website, which was likely created by him or perhaps his manager, and bio's with information which appears to be taken directly from that website.[1][2]

Further to this matter I emailed Gavin Ryan and he sent me a spreadsheet with information on Lee's discography. I am unable to post the link as it is in my hotmail account, but here is part of the email.

I have attached an Excel spreadsheet of Lonnie’s national and six capital cities discography for you, so that way you can see that he had a couple of individual city No.1’s, but no National chart-toppers. He also did only have EIGHT charting singles.

Regards,

Gavin Ryan.

In the spreadsheet it shows that Lee had eight top 100 singles on the national charts. Seven of them peaked in the top 40, including three top 20's and two top tens. His highest peaking song on the national charts was a #2. So definitely not even one #1 single on the National Chart, let alone eight. I am editing his wikipedia to reflect that.
