The following is a list of aggregate ensemble groups. These are usually put together for charity purposes. The ones listed below are one-hit wonders in their respective line-ups, but each is made up of several chart artists. The following line-ups have all reached #1 in their only hit under these umbrella group names:
- Band Aid ("Do They Know it's Christmas?", 1984)
- USA for Africa ("We Are the World", 1985)
- The Crowd ("You'll Never Walk Alone", 1985)

- Helping Haiti ("Everybody Hurts", 2010)
- Shout for England ("Shout", 2010)
- The X Factor Finalists ("Heroes", 2010)
As the contestants in the UK TV show The X Factor were different every year, the group of finalists were different each year as well, despite keeping the same name. In a similar manner, there have been a few different collaborations under the name "Various Artists", which have charted, none of which match the one singing "Perfect Day" as listed above, which is why they are eligible for inclusion on this list.

Famous quotes containing the words aggregate and/or groups:
“a fortress against ideas and against the
Shuddering insidious shock of the theory-vendors
The little sardine men crammed in a monster toy
Who tilt their aggregate beast against our crumbling Troy.”
—Louis MacNeice (19071963)
“screenwriter
Policemen so cherish their status as keepers of the peace and protectors of the public that they have occasionally been known to beat to death those citizens or groups who question that status.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
