Something by Johann Sebastian Bach probably...Never had charts in them days.

In the UK, Jimmy Young with Unchained Melody, while in the States Bill Haley & the Comets with Rock Around The Clock was just about to go to number one.

That's a classic!

Too many of of you are far too young. The number of records I've bought that were number one when you got born sickens me.

Mine was Space Oddity by Bowie.

Or at least that's what wiki tells me. Have to admit I find it a bit too amusing that a Scottish band had the #1 single in the UK considering where I was born.

The Archies - Sugar Sugar

Rescued by The Beatles - Abbey Road in the album charts.

From wiki: "Abbey Road spent its first 11 weeks in the UK charts at number 1, before being displaced to number 2 for one week by the Rolling Stones debuting at the top with Let It Bleed. However, the following week—which was the week of Christmas—Abbey Road returned to the top for another 6 weeks, completing 17 weeks at the top"

Some going that lads.

Sugar Sugar is a brilliant song.
