UK Number Ones on International 78s Only

Although the last UK #1 hits issued on 78rpm were released in 1960, other countries (India, Pakistan, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, the Philippines, Turkey) continued to release popular hits on that format for the next few years. This is a list of the UK #1s which were 45rpm only in Britain, but available on 78rpm elsewhere.
