Close reading reveals that "key change" here means both temporary (modulation, a word that's never used) and 'permanent' (new key from some moment in a song till its end).

Summary — fraction of #1 songs that change key, over the last 65 years:

* 1/4 in '58–'90
* half of those (1/8 of #1's '58-'90] do it 'permanently'
* heyday of key-changing #1's was '65–'73, ~1/3 of them do it
* > 10% till 2003
* < 10% since 2007, many years ~0%
