Hartnell 1999

Taylor’s first no.1 single wasn’t until 2017 (despite having been in the charts for a decade at that point). I’m sure there have been other artists born in ‘89 who had a UK chart-topping hit before then .

One piece of trivia relating to this topic I should mention is that Patrick Moore is the candidate who made the most DL appearances out of the pool of misses. Similarly, I would say that Alec Guinness and Desmond Tutu are significant enough solely for the fact that they made numerous consecutive DL appearances before eventually becoming misses.

Have added these to the opening post to fill the gaps… for now.

My mistake. Now corrected

Interesting that JLL’s only previous appearance was on the 1993 list. What was the reason for inclusion back then?

Purely out of interest, who do you think will be the last survivor out of all Deathlists published before the year 2000? Excluding George Lineker as he has an unfair age advantage over the others.

Long time lurker, first time poster. Here is a list of what I believe are Deathlist’s top 20 most notable entrants of all time, and my reasons why: 1. Ozzy Osbourne - Last survivor of the original Deathlist 2. Kirk Douglas - Made the most Deathlist appearances of all time 3. Clive Dunn - Most favoured Deathlist candidate by the committee of all time 4. Ronnie Biggs - Candidate that made the most positive contributions to the Deathlist community 5. Queen Elizabeth II - Most high-profile Deathlist candidate of all time 6. William Hartnell - Died in 1975 but posthumously appeared on the 1989 Deathlist 7. Bette Davis - Died in 1989 but posthumously appeared on the 1992 and 1994 Deathlists 8. Andres Segovia - First ever Deathlist hit. Also the oldest entry on the original Deathlist 9. Andrea De Cesaris - Youngest entry on the original Deathlist. Notably died years later in the same circumstances as originally predicted by committee 10. Any One Beatle - Only Deathlist entry to consist of multiple people 11. George Lineker - Youngest ever Deathlist entry 12. Red Rum - Only non-human Deathlist entry 13. Helen Rollason - Youngest ever Deathlist hit by age at death 14. Joost van der Westhuizen - Most recently born Deathlist hit 15. Brooke Astor - Oldest ever Deathlist hit by age at death 16. Luise Rainier - Oldest ever Deathlist debut 17. Patrick Moore - Most Deathlist appearances for a candidate that eventually became a miss 18. Rose Kennedy - Earliest born Deathlist entry - one of only 8 to be born before 1900 19. John Nash - First Deathlist hit to die of non-natural causes 20. Peter Sutcliffe - First Deathlist candidate to die of COVID-19. Also a universally welcomed death
