Not really a math question, but according to Wikipedia:
"Take That" are one of only seven acts in the history of the British Singles Chart whose tally of number ones is in double figures. These seven acts include:
Elvis Presley (21, 18 different songs)
The Beatles (17)
Cliff Richard (14 : six of them with The Shadows, one with The Drifters, one with The Young Ones)
Westlife (14 : one of them with Mariah Carey)
Madonna (12)
The Shadows (11 : six of them with Cliff Richard, two of these also with The Norrie Paramor Strings)
Take That (10: one featuring Lulu).
The ten #1s were almost all consecutive: starting with "Pray" in 1993, they had four consecutive #1 hits, followed by a #3 single ("Love Ain't Here Anymore") and then six more consecutive #1 hits, ending with "Shine" in 2007.
So the answer is 10 number one hits.
