2NG's retro-chart is from July 1975 today -- think I'll pass on 1989 and stick with this fabulousness:
http://www.umdmusic.com/default.asp?Lang=English&Chart=A&ChDay=9&ChMonth=7&ChYear=1975&ChBand=&ChSong=Bryan Ferry, "You Go To My Head" -- swoon!
OMFG: David Cassidy did "I Write the Songs" BEFORE Barry M??
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l86u5PUttiQBohannon Bohannon Bohannon Bohannon! He has TWO songs in this chart. That's 2 more than he ever had in the US pop survey.
EJ's "sugar bear" saves his life. or something. My guess is he's been "outplayed by a dominating queen" more than once.
Rare Sister Sledge ("Mama Never Told Me"), even-rarer David Essex ("Rollin' Stone") and OMFG: Cockney Rebel!
OMFG2: Tammy Wynette, in H-E-double-hockey-sticks over her "D-I-V-O-R-C-E".
Holy crap: a cheezy Brit cover/parody of "Je t'aime" by someone called Judge Dread. "You're not even a proper woman -- you're a bloody bloke in a dress!" Yikes.
NTM: Gilbert O'Sullivan "I Don't Love You But I Think I Like You"
eek: those wacky Brits just LURVED their crappy retro-'50s awfulness in the mid-'70s. Showaddywaddy, the Rubettes... blorf.
This NTM ditty by Nazareth, "My White Bicycle" sure seems like it must've inspired Freddie Mercury to write "Bicycle Race" 3 years later.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEpD9RH-WdsPete Wingfield is #10 -- with a bullet, natch.
Bohannon Bohannon Bohannon Bohannon!2: "Disco Stomp".
NTM: Bay City Rollers, "Give a Little Love".
Gary Glitter's "Doing Alright With the Boys" is rather unfortunately titled, given his reputation.
Wow: Ray Stevens' "Misty" -- one of my fave covers of all time -- got to #2 in the UK.
and the #1 song is NTM: Johnny Nash's reggae ditty "Tears on My Pillow" -- NOT the Little Anthony hit.
