Hmm. Presumably an older-ish one, so I'll go for the oldest. "Here In My Heart" by Al Martino?

Song 2 by Blur is only 2 minutes long, but I don't know if it ever got to No. 1
Ditto that song "Whatever", by Liam Lynch(?)

ANd I'll try Love Me Do.
(since checking, United States of Whatever was the shortest top 10 hit, so well done to me for that one - and him, I suppose).

If "100 miles from Liverpool" includes Wales, how about Tom Jones? Only one I can think of is "It's Not Unusual", and I'm not even sure that made it to number one!
