Yes - at the end of that POTP Top 50 of 1970 on Boxing Day, Alan did a rundown of the Top 20 which was played in full the following week (for reasons others have explained) -
By yes, do you mean the Record Mirror 1970 Top 10 you quoted was from Jasper? It differs from the one actually published in RM on 26-Dec-70.Originally posted by Richard M White View PostComment

You are quite right about the close sales, 151K For Mungo and 147K for Free, but next week it's reversed with Free on 150K and Mungo 144K.Originally posted by MrTibbs View Post

Some interesting facts about the records in the chart. The Creedence record is not about somebody being mad, but about the state of the world in 1970. The band didn't know that in England in meant someone was crackers, so they had to make that clear in interviews to the music press.
The Joni Mitchell record had on the B side her song Woodstock, which she wrote afterwards, though she wasn't there! It would make number one later in the year for Mathews Southern Comfort.
Ray Morgan cashed in on the fact the Beatles had not issued The Long and Winding Road in the UK. The American version of the single was imported in the UK due to the fact many people were listening to the USA charts on the Radio or could see them in all the Music Papers at the time. However stocks of the record only meant it could reach 44 in the Real Chart.
Fairweather was of course Andy Fairweather Low's band, famous for Amen Corner and also had solo hits.Education for anyone aged 12 to 16 has made a mess of the world!Comment

I imagine Elvis was establishing a record at the time for the artist with the longest gap between number ones.Comment

It's an older album track but what a wise move for Motown to issue Tears Of A Clown as a single. It will cry all the way to the top in a few weeks. To The Definitive Music Paper ChartComment

Tears of A Clown wasn't going to be issued as a single in the UK, but the woman who works at Motown Records UK, heard it on the album and phoned Smokey up and told him to release it in the UK and he did!Originally posted by MrTibbs View PostEducation for anyone aged 12 to 16 has made a mess of the world!Comment

The 27 record itself only credits D.B.M. & T. who were without Dave Dee who went solo, the band abbreviated their names to prevent confusion with the old line up, but it didn't work. It had been around the top 100 for six weeks by the time it entered the above countdown.
Bread's first hit had been around for five weeks, largely on the back of being in the USA charts at this point. It would reach number five lasting 18 weeks in the charts and selling over 700K. The follow up single "It Don't Matter To Me" will only make 74 and spend just six weeks in the chart.
Missing from the top 30 are The Who - Summertime Blues which was at 15, it only got to 38 on the BMRB chart.Education for anyone aged 12 to 16 has made a mess of the world!Comment

Great song by Hotlegs at number 2. If the 1970s UAC charts were to run for longer they'd have at least another number 1 (with 'I'm Not In Love') as 10cc. Or perhaps two as I'm not too sure about 'Dreadlock Holiday'...Comment

Good news for you both, if The Ultimate Averaged Chart had continued beyond March 1971 10cc would have gone to #1 with Rubber Bullets, I'm Not In Love, and Dreadlock Holiday. A class act they were

Elvis is still totally dominant, nothing is dislodging him, yet, but Smokey Robinson hasn't challenged seriously .. yet !
Some other faves of mine on this chart haven't had a mention yet so will do now. Joni Mitchell's wonderful Big Yellow Taxi, Hotlegs, Chicago, the sublime Make It With You from Bread, and Mama handing out advice us teenagers paid no heed to from Three Dog Night.
I bought 'em all and blasted them out .. loud !
