¹ News reports have indicated that Lee amassed a total of 349 weeks as world No. 1, however, just the sum of Lee's known weeks as world No. 1 (from 21/08/2008) exceeds that figure, and this excludes the weeks he spent as world No. 1 in 2006 and earlier in 2008.
² The discrepancy between weeks shown in the thumbnail (398) and that calculated above (407) is due to the difference between the unofficial unified ranking week count which began on 01/01/1990 and the official BWF World Ranking which began on 01/10/2009.
