It's a bit of a marathon commentary this week :lol: Available from the front page and the latest news box as usual

Thanks for that. Apart from the Christmas songs the one which came to mind as charting several times was All Right Now. I had wondered whether any song apart from FONY had reached the top ten four times as there was a possibility early in the week that Imagine might do so. You have confirmed that it would indeed have been only the second song to achieve that.
