So these are the tracks that topped my charts during the 70's, novelty and all, and those that topped my charts in subsequent decades put back into the year of release, cos I don't like oldies out of time in these sort of lists. The total weeks therefore will be more than 52 for each year, because these were my teen years, and early 20's, and everybody loves those years best when it comes to music (oh yes they do!). Reissues that topped my charts in later years get added to the run of the time, so it's totals without those annoying 1-week runs littering up the place.

John, obviously you prefer other ABBA singles, than me.
Zero number ones for Brotherhood of Man. Shared # 1s : Mary Hopkin - Temma Harbour Dana - All Kinds Of Everything (possibly in my all-time top 10 songs) New Seekers - I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing (In Perfect Harmony) New Seekers - Never Ending Song Of Love New Seekers - Beg, Steal Or Borrow Lynsey De Paul - Sugar Me Baccara - Yes Sir, I Can Boogie Blondie - Heart Of Glass Blondie - Sunday Girl (possibly in my all-time top 10 songs) Blondie - Denis ABBA - Waterloo ABBA - Thank You For The Music ABBA - Angeleyes ABBA - I Have A Dream ABBA - Knowing Me Knowing You "Kisses Of Fire" and "I'm A Marionette" are illegal for my chart, both could be # 1s. I don't know the correct number of ABBA number ones in my chart. Something like it, in the preference order : 1. That's Me 2. Honey Honey 3. When All Is Said And Done 4. When I Kissed The Teacher 5. Angeleyes 6. Knowing Me, Knowing You 7. The Winner Takes It All 8. Ring Ring 9. Waterloo 10. Hasta Manana 11. Head Over Heels 12. Nina, Pretty Ballerina 13. Thank You For The Music 14. I Have A Dream 15. Happy New Year Blondie and YVA had only 12 number ones. This post has been edited by Good Old Days: Feb 2 2019, 05:04 PM |

Blondie have had 7 or 8 chart-toppers for me (I think), and Brotherhood Of Man came close with Oh Boy (The Mood I'm In) at 2, and Angelo (3). 4 of your Abba picks will top my charts in the 80's.... |

"only" 12 number ones! Based on the rules of my chart almost all non-singles are illegal. So 12 number ones is really big number, for Blondie it's a long chain with 11 (!!!) consecutive # 1s (from "In The Flesh" to "Atomic") + comeback # 1 "Maria" YVA also had 11 number ones in their glory days (2005-2009) and comeback single "Kaukes" (Masks) became their wonderful # 1 comeback in 2017. All YVA # 1s : 1. Brunetes Blondines 2. Barbie 3. I Dangu 4. Taip Taip Taip 5. Panele Verta Milijono 6. Laukiu Kaledu 7. Velnias Manyje Gyvena 8. Vasaros Mergaites 9. Kaukes 10. Paparacai 11. Katyciu Dainele 12. Pabuciuok *For Lithuanian acts (like YVA) only songs with official video, radio airplay or TV performances can be include in my chart. |
