UK Top 40 Week Ending 6th June 1970

Welcome to my complete top 40 for the 6th June 1970. In this week when I first started work at a 16 year old, we had Mary Hopkins, Who, Cliff, Moodies, Elvis and Gerry Monroe and even The England World Cup Squad 1970 with 'Back Home' in the charts amongst many others. Its quite a diverse chart as well so have fun. I'd bet you've not heard many of them on the radio since 1970 either. Remember track 1 in here is chart position 40 and track 40 in here is chart position 1. P.S. I used the album version of the Guess Who track 'American Woman'. Enjoy..

UK Top 40 5 March 1977

Elvis Presley, Detroit Spinners, Fleetwood Mac, Brotherhood Of Man, Van McCoy and more. Welcome to the UK Top 40 for week ending 5th March 1977. Its actually a top 39. I didn't have the new entry at number 34 namely Les Gray (he of 'Mud' fame) called 'Groovy Kind Of Love'. However, the remaining 39 chart hits are here with a few 1960 jingles mixed in. Starting at track 1 will be chart position 40 and ending at track 39 with the chart position 1. In between are hits nobody plays and are by and large seen as obscure hits.
