Yeah I think this is peak LP week with Carousel dropping out next week and then, when the RM LP chart starts, them dropping out from including them. I... -

It might be worth mentioning that the two newspaper sales surveys in the 60s show a profile more akin to Gallup than Inverse. The Sun number 2 sold 74%...Leave a comment:

I think in these early years the Gallup sales curve is particularly useful in providing a more reliable method for combining sides. This is exemplified...Leave a comment:

Why does the OCC website use those dates?
For example, the first BMRB singles chart is dated Wednesday 12-Feb-69 but the first albums chart...Leave a comment:

Although Rock & Roll was now charting in Britain there were no appearances yet of Chuck Berry or Little Richard who by now had released a few classics...Leave a comment:

My Cherie Amour is the only Sunday 'surprise' number one I recall, so there may not be another of that ilk. It didn't reach the top or runner-up position...Leave a comment:

My memory may be playing tricks again, but I recall being surprised by a Sunday Mirror NME chart placing My Cherie Amour at number one.Leave a comment:

The Herald was competing with the Mail (and Express) for the middle-brow market and being badly squeezed. Its reincarnation as The Sun didn't work any...Leave a comment:

Yes plus the fact that without it you only have 3 charts, so I think it would be good to climb to 4 as early as possible, although realise it will revert...Leave a comment:

Nor had I. It is not listed in the Wikipedia Discography. Though I know some Sinatra fans think this was his best track....Leave a comment:

I don't think there is any disagreement here. The incomplete chart should not be included but it is fascinating to see what would have happened if they...Leave a comment:

Brain - As discussed above, Hockridge is most likely for 10. Cogan hasn't entered MM yet so I think it is highly unlikely to have made an earlier appearance...Leave a comment:
