On the same label?

No.

I'll have to tell you the answer as I really doubt anyone is going to get it.

In the history of the UK Singles Chart, those are the only four records ever to have regained the Number One position TWICE.

To clarify:

They reached Number One.

They were deposed from the Number One position.

They returned to the Number One position

They were again deposed from the Number One position.

They returned to the Number One position again.

I'm not talking about re-releases or long passages of time or anything like like.

All the above-mentioned innings and outings from the Number One spot happened in the same chart within a relatively short period of time.
