When
In contrast to today’s musical trends, it took 24 years and two months for a solo female to reach No.1 in the UK with a studio album. On 20 September 1980, Never for Ever by Kate Bush (UK) debuted at the summit. The success of Never for Ever completed a notable 1-2 for Bush, who became the first female to top the UK singles chart with a self-composed song when the inimitable “Wuthering Heights” led the countdown on 11 March 1978.
