A number of recording artists have achieved either simultaneous number-one singles or albums on the official charts in the United Kingdom and the United States (Billboard in the US and the Official Charts Company from the UK, also the BPI).
As of 2020, twelve artists have achieved this feat simultaneously in both the singles and albums chart: the Beatles, the Monkees, Simon & Garfunkel, Rod Stewart, Men at Work, Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Drake, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and Lady ****. All of these have been at number one in all four charts on the same week.
The single that has spent the longest period of time at number one simultaneously in the UK and US is Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" in 2017, which spent 11 weeks number-one in both countries, while the longest-serving album is the South Pacific soundtrack (1958) which spent 26 weeks number-one in both countries.
