For those that live around Europe (Australia included), once a year since the 1950s the Eurovison Song Contest is held. This contest is to find a group that will be the best of the best in Europe, and is voted by every participating country. Needles to say the politics of the region play very high.

With all its many flaws it brings in a huge live TV audiences of around 100 million people.

Seventies Music Chart Top Ten: January 1976

Here are the pop charts of the week ending 3rd of January 1976.

2 I believe in Father Christmas by Greg Lake

Wow what a record, this record sounded like a huge musical to me when I first heard it, all those years a go in the pop chart.

Greg Lake was in so many groups including Uriah Heap,then in 1970 he formed Emerson,Lake and Palmer, and this hit was a surprise to him, as he wrote the record as an anti Christmas song.
