The Chart of Chart Toppers

This is the chart of all charts, every chart topper has been ranked based on how many number ones they've had and how long it took them to amass that total, with a short time being considered better and a tie being broken by ranking the more recent act higher since multiple chart topping is more of an achievment these days.
Every artist or act with 3 or more chart toppers is listed in reverse order, a total of 146 acts and artists as of w/e 25th April 2019. 146 acts and at least 3 toppers each means around 500 chart toppers between them, how many can you name?
