Radio Luxembourg did pretty well and got most of these into the actual Radio One top 30 in 1973.

I`ve picked three of them on the video front:

#1 The Sweet - Blockbuster...a big climb from 16-1 on the Radio One Chart for this one

#3 David Bowie - The Jean Genie...I picked this one for the similarity between "Blockbuster"

#30 Terry Dactyl And The Dinosaurs - On A Saturday Night...Jona Lewie in disguise, and a small follow up to the giant "Seaside Shuffle" the previous Summer
