Posted February 24, 201510 yr ITV next Thursday, 5th March, 8.30 to 10pm. Anyone think anything other than Bohemian Rhapsody will win? Also a triple CD collection released 2nd March. Edited July 21, 20159 yr by Common Sense
February 25, 201510 yr I think we can safely assume it won't be the number one in the first few weeks of 1970.
February 25, 201510 yr Author Very surprised that Brown Girl In The Ring is on the album and not Rivers Of Babylon! Each artist only has one track. Tracklist: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00TA6L5OK/ref=dm_rogue_cd Edited February 25, 201510 yr by Common Sense
February 25, 201510 yr Very surprised that Brown Girl In The Ring is on the album and not Rivers Of Babylon! Each artist only has one track. Tracklist: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00TA6L5OK/ref=dm_rogue_cd especially considering it never made number one. That's ridiculous, cos it was a B side when Rivers Of Babylon topped the charts. As a double A it peaked at 2 some months later. This smacks of trying to rewrite history again! Might as well claim every B side to a chart topper contributed to the sales of the number 1 while on top! Yet an actual double A side, say Girl's School, gets conveniently forgotten....
February 25, 201510 yr And, of course, Girls' School was a better song than Mull Of Kintyre. I bought the single more for the former than the latter.

Yeah totally ridiculous. Bet the compiler's about 25 and wasn't around at the time! Would imagine the entire Top 20 will be somewhere on those 3 cd's and thought Mull Of Kintyre would be in there.

February 25, 201510 yr Author The Nation's Favourite 80's No.1 is in production too. Much more wide open I'd say.

Tracklist: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00TA6L5OK/ref=dm_rogue_cd Me Too! - Brown Girl In The Ring only peaked at #2 after Rivers Of Babylon peaked at #1 After Rivers Of Babylon peaked at #1 and then gradually slid down the charts as far as #21 then it was flipped and Brown Girl In The Ring climbed back up to #2
February 25, 201510 yr Really glad they're doing this again, hope they do the next four decades after as well. Though as wonderful as it is, is it worth giving Bohemian Rhapsody yet another win in this series? I can't believe that tracklist doesn't contain Another Brick In The Wall Part 2 as well :( Probably my favourite 70s number 1 Edited February 25, 201510 yr by Chez Wombat
February 25, 201510 yr I find it hilarious that they chose a song that didn't reach number 1 until january 1980.
February 26, 201510 yr Author I find it hilarious that they chose a song that didn't reach number 1 until january 1980. Yep, Brass In Pocket, the song that surprised me by being a No.1 as it's nothing special imo.
March 6, 201510 yr Few surprises in the run-down - although I thought Dancing Queen might top Bohemian Rhapsody in a 'shock' result. Surprised that Space Oddity didn't make the 20 though.
March 6, 201510 yr Author Not a bad show but predictable Top 3 really. Surprised that Bridge Over Troubled Water isn't on the triple CD. No surprises that Gary Glitter wasn't mentioned!
