I wonder if Elvis might have another appearance in the top 10? What a chart run. :o

Elvis's Hound dog will be in aswell!, which was the other side of Heartbreak Hotel when it was re-issued in 1971

Set You Free nearly top 40 :wub: I know down to its 2001 re-issue but for a dance song to go top 5 twice six years apart was something very special indeed :D

Free - another song I'd not even considered. I remember this was re-issued in 1991 thanks to its use in a Wrigley's chewing gum TV commercial iirc? Great song too. :D

How are RTW and FONY so low? :o

 

After all these songs which seems so low, I'm surprised KoL are actually still in.

 

Never realised Free had such a huge run.

Because they didn't collect enough points? :P Top 10 is still great and pretty much where I'd expected them to feature.

Jive Bunny!!! :lol:

 

Ok, maybe not. Another classic from the 60s imo. I take it 'Let's Twist Again' was re-released at some point hence its final part of the chart run going top 10 again?

most of the songs in the top ten so far have had more than one chart run. free, chubby checker, elvis etc

Lets see who can predict the top 3

Acker Bill, Kings Of Leon and...Elvis? :unsure:

KOL @ 3 Elvis hound dog @2 Acker Bilk @1

Edited June 4, 201015 yr by fiesta

Hound Dog was at number 27 so another song makes up the top3

Nah, I reckon KoL will be ahead of Hound Dog, but only just

 

Oh wait :P

Is it The New Seekers? Or possibly Frank Chacksfield, I know that had a long stint at #2.

It's unfathomable that Rule The World is so low with that chart run.

 

 

I know The Cheeky Girls are no.2 :o
