Liverpool's Wall of Fame on Mathew Street

The Liverpool Wall of Fame is a wall in front of the Cavern Club on Mathew Street in Liverpool, England. It features a litany of groups which played at the original Cavern Club, including acts from Liverpool who have reached No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart. The wall also features a disc for every Liverpool musical act that had a No. 1 hit. [1] Artists from Liverpool have produced more No. 1 hit singles than any other city in the world.

It was unveiled on 14 March 2001 by Lita Roza, whose song " (How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?" was the first song by a Liverpool act—and the first British act—to reach No. 1 on the UK singles chart. It features 58 Liverpool No. 1 UK chart hits since 1952, and also incorporates an award-winning[ which?] music-themed seat. The wall is dominated by the Beatles, who have 18 records featured on it.
