Only Ralph Cyril Fulford Nichols (5), Frank Devlin (6), Lin Dan (6), Erland Kops (7) and Rudy Hartono (8) have won more All Englands than Lee. Lee is one of only four men to have reached the All England gentlemen's singles final at least seven times and reached at least six consecutive finals in the Open Era.

He has qualified for the tournament a record 8 times, including a record 6 consecutive years from 2008 through 2013.

Lee's 2010 season is considered by most badminton experts to be one of the most excellent years since the beginning of the Open Era. He won nine singles titles and won the season-ending Super Series Finals. He won six Super Series events, winning 10 events of the 13 he entered, making the finals of all but two of the events. His overall record was 65–5.

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.
