A lot of these big sellers aren't very good but I have an affection for all of them as they are the soundtrack to my childhood.

The Smurf Song is iconic, I was annoyed at the time that it was kept off the top of the chart for six weeks by You're The One That I Want.

There was another song by The Smurfs in the 1996 chart 'I've Got A Little Puppy' based on 'I Wanna Be A Hippy' by Technohead.

Definitely not in the 70s, though it definitely is now 😀

Has it always been the case that it didn't make it in the 70s? I know that sounds like a silly comment but with things like sales being downgraded for the mid 90s etc then I wondered if the same could have happened to the 70s?

I really could have sworn it used to feature on the million sellers lists before things like streaming ever got added - unless maybe it continued to sell after 79 for some reason.

Reissues and downloads would have done it pre streaming. Alan jones confirmed that it didn't sell a million in the 70s.
