I'll get the ball rolling as I've done so many #1 marathons over the years, so am pretty familiar with everything
 +25 Little Jimmy Osmond - Long Haired Lover From Liverpool (1972)  nails to a chalkboard+24 JJ Barrie - No Charge (1976) +23 Stargazers - I See the Moon (1954) +22 Clive Dunn - Grandad (1971) +21 Ray Stevens - The Streak (1974) +20 Chuck Berry - My Ding-a-ling (1972) +19 Billy Connolly - D.I.V.O.R.C.E (1975) +18 Esther and Abi Ofarim - Cinderella Rockefella (1968) +17 Telly Savalas - If (1975) +16 Middle of the Road - Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep (1971) +15 Donny Osmond - Puppy Love (1972) +14 Lena Martel - One Day at a Time (1979) +13 Rod Stewart - Do Ya Think I’m Sexy? (1978) +12 Ken Dodd - Tears (1965) +11 Pat Boone - I’ll Be Home (1956) +10 Engelbert Humperdinck- The Last Waltz (1967) +09 Dana - All Kinds of Everything (1970) +08 Petula Clark - This Is My Song (1967) +07 Vera Lynn - My Son, My Son (1954) +06 Mike Serne & Wendy Richard - Come Outside (1962) +05 Windsor Davies & Don Estelle - Whispering Grass (1975) +04 Brian and Michael - Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs (1978) +03 Lonnie Donegan - My Old Man’s a Dustman (1960) +02 Lieutenant Pigeon - Mouldy Old Dough (1972) +01 Lee Marvin - Wand’rin’ Star (1970) I have a huge soft spot for 'Wand’rin’ Star' unfortunately the version on Spotify at the moment isn't the proper vocalist, so consult YouTube for the true depth of Lee's dulcet tones.

It's probably not a good idea to have 25 separate YouTube embeds in one post btw - better to put them in a playlist and just link to that.
There are quite a few on here that I don't remember at all (I might have missed the listenthroughs for some of them) but I'll try and make sure to find a moment to refamiliarise myself at some point

25; Ray Stevens - The Streak (1974)
24; Stargazers - I See the Moon (1954) 23; JJ Barrie - No Charge (1976) 22; Mike Serne & Wendy Richard - Come Outside (1962) 21; Little Jimmy Osmond - Long Haired Lover From Liverpool (1972) 20; Lena Martel - One Day at a Time (1979) 19; Billy Connolly - D.I.V.O.R.C.E (1975) 18; Windsor Davies & Don Estelle - Whispering Grass (1975) 17; Esther and Abi Ofarim - Cinderella Rockefella (1968) 16; Ken Dodd - Tears (1965) 15; Petula Clark - This Is My Song (1967) 14; Pat Boone - I’ll Be Home (1956) 13; Vera Lynn - My Son, My Son (1954) 12; Telly Savalas - If (1975) 11; Dana - All Kinds of Everything (1970) 10; Clive Dunn - Grandad (1971) 09; Brian and Michael - Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs (1978) 08; Donny Osmond - Puppy Love (1972) 07; Chuck Berry - My Ding-a-ling (1972) 06; Engelbert Humperdinck- The Last Waltz (1967) 05; Lonnie Donegan - My Old Man’s a Dustman (1960) 04; Lee Marvin - Wand’rin’ Star (1970) 03; Rod Stewart - Do Ya Think I’m Sexy? (1978) 02; Lieutenant Pigeon - Mouldy Old Dough (1972) 01; Middle of the Road - Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep (1971) The top 5 are all utterly heinous, whether through outdated morals or "humour", a lot of the others aren't awful, they're just super boring and forgettable that they all merge together. The last 5 are all quite fun, I have no disdain for them (Lee Marvin in particular was very unique and I wouldn't say bad at all!) |

Preach Chez x the only negativity I have towards 'Wand’rin’ Star' is that it blocked 'Let It Be' from getting to #1

Impressed by the amount of shit the UK put at the top of the chart during that period. |

(1978) There are 9 chart-toppers for me on this list, and expect to see a few of them in my all-time 940  I still love the bottom 7 and like everything up to Lonnie Donegan, this is my childhood and teen years! The top 5 are awful...

Familiar with many of the songs unfortunately but had another listen through them all today. Well done on the shortlist here, so many of these (especially everything in the top half) are truly awful
+25 Middle of the Road - Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep (1971) +24 Esther and Abi Ofarim - Cinderella Rockefella (1968) +23 Windsor Davies & Don Estelle - Whispering Grass (1975) +22 Ray Stevens - The Streak (1974) +21 Telly Savalas - If (1975) +20 JJ Barrie - No Charge (1976) +19 Rod Stewart - Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?

I'm not overly familiar with most of these but after a play through (with a lot of them not making the full play!) I can see why they've been chosen... the middle bunch could have been in any order really. Only the bottom 4 felt like songs I would listen to again
25 Little Jimmy Osmond - Long Haired Lover From Liverpool (1972) 24 Ray Stevens - The Streak (1974) 23 Chuck Berry - My Ding-a-ling (1972) 22 Mike Serne & Wendy Richard - Come Outside (1962) 21 Clive Dunn - Grandad (1971) 20 Lena Martel - One Day at a Time (1979) 19 Stargazers - I See the Moon (1954) 18 Rod Stewart - Do Ya Think I’m Sexy? (1978) 17 Billy Connolly - D.I.V.O.R.C.E (1975) 16 JJ Barrie - No Charge (1976) 15 Telly Savalas - If (1975) 14 Windsor Davies & Don Estelle - Whispering Grass (1975) 13 Ken Dodd - Tears (1965) 12 Donny Osmond - Puppy Love (1972) 11 Brian and Michael - Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs (1978) 10 Lonnie Donegan - My Old Man’s a Dustman (1960) 09 Petula Clark - This Is My Song (1967) 08 Pat Boone - I’ll Be Home (1956) 07 Vera Lynn - My Son, My Son (1954) 06 Dana - All Kinds of Everything (1970) 05 Esther and Abi Ofarim - Cinderella Rockefella (1968) 04 Engelbert Humperdinck- The Last Waltz (1967) 03 Lee Marvin - Wand’rin’ Star (1970) 02 Middle of the Road - Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep (1971) 01 Lieutenant Pigeon - Mouldy Old Dough (1972) - this was actually quite unexpected and interesting! |

+25 JJ Barrie - No Charge (1976) WORST

(1978) Ooh that's a grim list! I must confess I had never heard the Stargazers or Vera Lynn songs before today - it was a much happier time. But yes, dreadful and thoroughly deserve to be here. I've never understood why or how No Charge was a No.1. I have no problem with any of the bottom six. In fact I actually quite like them but understand why they're here - except for Rod that is. That has no business being here. It's not even his worst No.1

IIRC it was primarily me lobbying for Rod Stewart's inclusion and I'm disturbed at the level of goodwill towards it, it just gives me the heebie jeebies a bit xx (admittedly that may be because I'm too young to know a time when Rod Stewart wasn't 100 years old)

There's not much I dislike here as all the 70s songs have the childhood nostalgia factor. I'm going to pick the Pat Boone song as the worst as I've just played the playlist and I've already forgotten it again.
