January 15, 200718 yr back in those days January used to mean big sellers. Don't Give Up On Us was a million seller, and Julie Covington, at #7, almost did the same. There were so many big songs around then that even Abba had to settle for a #3, with Money, Money, Money, despite topping sales of 500,000. It brought to an end a run of 3 consecutive number ones, and the next single was the first again of 3 consecutive chart toppers. I agree with cp21 that Livin' Thing was excellent, but there's a long forgotten treasure at #50, The Wreck Of Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot. It had been a US top 10 hit, was a big radio hit here in the UK but just didn't make the all-important BBC Top 30, which was the size of the chart Radio 1 broadcast at the time.

It's just the stupid BBC that shortens the chart. Edited January 16, 200718 yr by Euro Music
