Just 1 for each country, in the application form you may need to list all of the addresses you have been living in the country.
In general, you and all the people in your family who are 18 or older need to collect police certificate from all countries or territories that you or family member have spent six months or more since the age of 18.

Thanks for the detailed response. Just have one more question. I actually m asking for my wife. After marriage I will have her name and address change. So do I need to get her PCC of the city where she has 21 years of her life or now from the city where she would be currently living in with me??
It depends on the country procedure I guess, for my country both cities could provide me PCC (actually any city where I lived). I went to my hometown where I was born coz it was easier for me. You can check your country procedure here:
