27th June 1970 : Cliff Richard - Goodbye Sam Hello Samantha (4 weeks at # 1) Rating : 7 / 10 UK chartrun : 37-20-15-7-6-8-9-12-13-18-20-27-27-38 "Goodbye Sam, Hello Samantha" was released as Cliff's 50th single. I'm not very familiar with all discography, but this song have a good chances to be my # 1 favourite from his huge music legacy. Fresh songs in UK top 10 : Kinks - Lola - 4/10 Creedence Clearwater Revival - Up Around The Bend - 4/10 Marvin Gaye - Abraham, Martin and John - 3/10 Nicky Thomas - Love Of The Common People - 3/10 Four Tops - It's All In The Game - 2/10 Shirley Bassey - Something - 2/10 This post has been edited by Last Dreamer: 28th May 2023, 11:13 AM |

25th July 1970 : Elvis Presley - The Wonder Of You (6 weeks at # 1) Rating : 6 / 10 UK chartrun : 20-13-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-4-5-9-11-17-20-23-33 "The Wonder Of You" is very far from my favourite Elvis hits, but I can understand the huge success in UK chart due to low level of competition for the first place. Fresh songs in UK top 10 : Marmalade - Rainbow - 5/10 Cat Stevens - Lady D'Arbanville - 4/10 Chicago - 25 Or 6 To 4 - 4/10 Smokey Robinson and The Miracles - Tears Of A Clown - 3/10 Jackson Five - The Love You Save - 3/10 Three Dog Night - Mama Told Me Not To Come - 3/10 Jimmy Ruffin - I'll Say Forever My Love - 3/10 Fair Weather - Natural Sinner - 2/10 Ten Years After - Love Like A Man - 2/10 Hotlegs - Neanderthal Man - 0/10 (First, but not last zero score in this year) This post has been edited by Last Dreamer: 30th May 2023, 06:53 PM |

when I did very first charts as a young lad I also used this system - compiled my chart then chart points for each song in the UK top 30 and my top 20 to see a much improved overall chart
 Most of these number ones topped my actual charts of 1970, so no complaints from me!

John, thanks for a comment. I watched your 1970 charts and was pleasantly surprised when Dana's main hit was # 1 in your chart too. |

The Bread song is a classic. The singles by Freda Payne, The Carpenters and Black Sabbath are my other picks from the last two batches.

QUOTE(JulianT @ Jun 6 2023, 11:37 AM) It is! At least a 9/10 In my system 9/10 is a level of SOTY. For sample I gave this score for Kim Wilde - Love Is Holy, which was my favourite song of 1992 year, spent 5 weeks on the top and had strong longevity in retrospective weekly chart. (Chartrun : 1-1-1-1-1-2-2-3-2-2-3-4-6-6-7-8-10-12-14-15-17-18-19-20-20). Only 20 (or 21, if you will separate two versions of one song - original and cover) songs got the highest (10/10) score in my all-time list.

'Cracklin Rosie' is a good'un from Neil. I'm also a fan of 'Love On The Rocks' from him too. As for 'Sweet Caroline' I'd happily never hear it again
