Obviously 78rpm discs were the main format when the charts started in 1952, so the first 78 #1 by default was

Al Martino - Here In My Heart in November 1952
CL.13779

The last 78rpm only #1 was
Lonnie Donegan - Putting On The Style in June 1957
N.15093

I believe the last #1 issued on 78rpm format was
Roy Orbison - Only The Lonely from October 1960
HLU.9149
Although I've never seen it, even a scan, and I think it was a 'special order'.
