Sorry meant to put a note about that somewhere. I've followed later editions of Guinness by using a black triangle to denote a US number one (though I may have missed one or more possibly).

The One Week Wonders - Episodes 56 and 57 We start where we left off last time, with w/e 12th May 1960, and drop to #48, where we find Alma Cogan's Dream Talk. Alma would have two more UK chart hits after this, with her final one in April 1961. CmhGURIBFp4 The other two in this episode are both men called Marty! The first being Marty Wilde, who charted at #47 on 19th May 1960 with The Fight. His biggest hit was Teenager In Love, which reached #2 in summer 1959. cLmPVOHu-vs And the other Marty is Marty Robbins. He previously had a #19 hit (and US #1) with El Paso, and was now charting at #48 on 26th May 1960 with Big Iron. He would nearly two and half years, until September 1962, for his next UK chart hit, Devil Woman, but it would be his biggest, peaking at #5. -NuX79Ud8zI On to episode 57, and we begin with George Chakiris, who was charting at #49 on 2nd June 1960 with his version of Heart Of A Teenage Girl, which was also a #10 hit for Craig Douglas at around this time. This was George's only week on the UK singles chart. lO9yYJ5QXFs Next up at #47 on 9th June 1960 is Jerry Lee Lewis' Baby, Baby, Bye Bye. bIErsPjtEGk And finally for this episode we drop to #50 in the same week to find Mr Acker Bilk and his Paramount Jazz Band performing Goodnight Sweet Prince. j8tyYeaTn_E That's it for today, but look out for a feature length Xmas special tomorrow evening in place of the normal scheduled episode.

The One Week Wonders - Episode 55 We start today with the same week we ended on yesterday, w/e 21st April 1960, and drop to #47, where we find Russ Conway, with his version of the Max Bygraves #5 hit, Fings Ain't What They Used To Be. gCS0wOXDWdU Next we move on to w/e 12th May 1960, and to #40, which was comedian Stan Freburg's single Old Payola Blues. Stan had previously charted at #15 in 1954 with his version of Sh-Boom, and at #24 in 1956 with his versions of Rock Island Line and Heartbreak Hotel, but this third single would be his last time in the UK charts. ED-5TXTckrU And we stick with the same week for our last one today, at #42, and it's a pretty well known song too, More Than I Can Say by The Crickets. The song would also be taken to #4 by Bobby Vee in 1961, and #2 by Leo Sayer in 1980. tF95p6406-E

My understanding is it came out several years ago, and that this year's version was a remix? Or perhaps the original wasn't a campaign as such?

Did Merry Chris Moyles Everyone miss the chart both times then?

So either they will appoint an alternative song to oust it, or else they will just 'persuade' people who do not like Ladbaby (and therefore presumably weren't buying his singles anyway) to not buy it. The latter would presumably have no effect, and the former would potentially make for a close and exciting christmas chart battle, so yeah bring it on then.

Nope cold. But still my sausage roll's in my hand now and I can't wait to get to work on it whilst the song plays....

Yep 24th October 1999. Sm1ffj's thread details the presenter of every chart show on radio 1: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=159682

My sausage roll is at the ready for the reveal...

Oops Scott messed up lol. This is his 153rd chart show, and 4th christmas chart show, but I can't remember if he's ever dropped a clanger like that before. Speaking of his previous christmas chart shows does anyone remember whether he, or co-host Jameela, got the actual #2/#1 reveal moment in 2013? Is it Scott's 3rd or 4th Xmas number one reveal this year? I certainly remember him announcing Rage in 2009, and Ladbaby last year, but can't remember who announced Ben Haenow in 2013.

Totally not timing today's episode for when the board is busy with potential readers due to the Christmas chart thread..... The One Week Wonders - Episode 54 Today's episode starts where we left off yesterday, on w/e 31st March 1960, but dropping to #50, where we find Santo And Johnny and Teardrop. Guitar duo Santo and Johnny Farino had already had a #22 hit with Sleep Walk, a US #1. Teardrop would be their only other hit. OPDr1kVRQFw Moving on to w/e 14th April 1960 we find Pat Suzuki at #49 with I Enjoy Being A Girl, her only UK charting single. The song is taken from Roger and Hammerstein's Drum Flower Song, in which Pat was the Broadway lead. gGHVaUsJaM0 And finally for today we go forward one more week to w/e 21st April 1960, and to #45, to find Lloyd Price's fifth and final charting single in the UK, Lady Luck. His biggest hits were Stagger Lee (#7 and a US #1) and Personality (#9). QMUU_VNNHng

Meant gay porn lol. Hay porn would be just baffling....

Please explain further. Googling that phrase only returned loads of hay porn lol

It sounds really familiar from somewhere, is it taken from the hook of a 80s/early 90s dance hit by someone like Technotronic ?

They're are definitely starting to grow in stature as christmas hits now. I only really started to know One More Sleep last year, and have literally only realised (from googling the lyrics) a couple of days ago that the song that goes "you're here what a wonderful day..." was in fact Kelly's Underneath The Tree, but the song seems to have had loads of airplay this year (at least on the station we've had on where I work nightshifts).

To update this to the end of the year: 27th September 2019 Scott Mills 4th October 2019 Scott Mills 11th October 2019 Scott Mills 18th October 2019 Scott Mills 25th October 2019 Jordan North 1st November 2019 Scott Mills 8th November 2019 Scott Mills 15th November 2019 Scott Mills 22nd November 2019 Scott Mills 29th November 2019 Scott Mills 6th December 2019 Scott Mills 13th December 2019 Scott Mills 20th December 2019 Scott Mills 27th December 2019 Joel Mitchell & Hannah Sackville-Bryant So assuming the last two are as planned the chart of Radio 1 chart show presenters, up to the end of 2019 is: 1. Mark Goodier 470 1988-2002 2. Bruno Brookes 358 1986-1990 & 1992-1995 3. Tom Browne 278 1972-1978 4. Alan Freeman 258 1967-1972 5. Reggie Yates 237 2007-2012 6. Scott Mills 153 1999-2019+ 7.

Nemone 2 (1 with Scott Mills, 1 solo) 2002 & 2005 28=. (18 other DJs with one guest presenting appearance)

The One Week Wonders - Episode 53 Today's three are from w/e 31st March 1960, and we start at #41 with Paul Evans and Midnight Special, the chart followup to Seven Little Girls, although The Curls seem to have parted company with him. Paul would then wait just over 18 years for his third and final charting single, Hello This Is Joanie (The Telephone Answering Machine Song), which became his biggest hit, peaking at #6. dNvxsxGUgKM Next up, at #44, is the only week on the UK chart for Carl Dobkins Jr, with Lucky Devil. He had a #3 hit in the US in 1959 with My Heart Is An Open Book. Lucky Devil was also available in a version by Frank Ifield, which was his debut single, and peaked at #22. p7LoIC2NHZg Finally for today we drop to #49 for the one week return to the chart of the first charttopper, Al Martino. The single is Summertime, which is a very familiar song, having apparently been recorded 25,000 times! It is a George Gershwin song from the 1935 opera Porgy And Bess, and is his first appearance on the chart since his third week on chart with The Man From Laramie in October 1955. He has switched labels by this point too, as this is on Top Rank, whereas his previous single in 1952-1955 where on Capitol. Other versions of Summertime to reach the UK chart were by The Marcels (#46 in 1961), Billy Stewart (#39 in 1966) and Fun Boy Three (#18 in 1982). H6fNo35BNYM

Just when you thought I'd given up daily episodes... The One Week Wonders - Episode 52 We're still on the w/e 24th March 1960 for all of today's singles, and have first dropped to #43 (as per KingOfSkiffle's research) to find Richard Allan's As Time Goes By. The song had originally been sung in 1942 in Casablanca by Dooley Wilson, the infamous Sam who 'played it'. Dooley's version eventually charted in December 1977, and peaked at #15. The song also reached #26 in 1992 by Jason Donovan. Richard's version was his only UK chart hit. Yh1mxchSIaI Next up is Joe 'Mr Piano' Henderson's fifth and final UK charting single, Ooh! La! La! at #44. _4s-xBKoOOk Our last single today is Answer Me, last seen/heard topping the charts in two different versions by Frankie Laine and David Whitfield at the end of 1953. This version, at #47, is a second charting single, and second one week wonder, for Ray Peterson, who would go on to have one more charting single, Corinna Corinna, in 1961, which was third time lucky as it wasn't a one week wonder, albeit that it only got as far as #41.

Time for another double edition... The One Week Wonders - Episodes 50 and 51 This double episode moves forward one week from where we were last time, to w/e 17th March 1960, where the new chart source quickly reveals how different it is by throwing up 5 one week wonders in one week. First up, at #33. we have the England Sisters, real names Betty, Hazel and Julie Dunderdale, who later changed the group name to the Dale Sisters. The song is a cover of Buddy Holly's Heartbeat, which may explain why his version was reissued in April 1960. Technically Heartbeat was the B-side of Little Child, but it was Heartbeat that was listed in the chart. Other versions of Heartbeat to have charted since included Showaddywaddy who reached #7 in 1975, and Nick Berry who peaked at #2. NQy-vae-ogE Down to #42, and something a bit strange is going on. The previous week Freddy Cannon had a new entry at #33 with California Here I Come, the follow up to his #3 hit Way Down Yonder In New Orleans. This week that disappears, and its B-side, Indiana, charts instead, at #42. Next week California Here I Come returns at #45, for the disc's third and final week overall. Did the popularity of the sides genuinely flip-flip over those three weeks? Or was it a case of error by the chart compilers, or a lack of knowledge of which side was causing the sales? Whatever caused this the two sides are never shown together on any of the three charts, so no side is continuously present throughout the run (unlike a couple of previous instances where I excluded the 'other side' from being on this list since it was only listed on the chart in one week in conjunction with the main ever-present side). I have therefore chosen to include it on the list. TvacOnn7ceE Episode 50 ends with the #44 single, Love Kisses And Heartaches by Maureen Evans. Maureen had previously charted with a version of The Big Hurt, which peaked at #26, marginally higher than Toni Fisher's version, which we saw in Episode 48. Maureen would then have to wait until late 1962 to have another hit, Like I Do, which would reached #3. 9mg3Hfg6BUE Episode 51 begins by dropping to #47, to find Dick Jordan's version of Hallelujah (I Love Her So), which was also available by Eddie Cochran, whose version peaked at #22. Dick would have one more minor hit with Little Christine, which peaked at #39. 0xgKULUY75w Finally for this chart week we move down again to #49, where The Champs strike themselves off of the UK's one hit wonder list. They originally had a #5 hit in the UK, and #1 in the US, with Tequila in 1958. Other versions of Tequila that charted were by Ted Heath, who peaked at #21 in 1958, and No Way Jose who peaked at #47 in 1985. The Champs waited until 1960 to release the sequel, Too Much Tequila, which peaked at #30 in the US, but just the one week at #49 here. QLn1GXDppxg And to round off this double edition we move to the w/e 24th March 1960. I should say at this point that there's different version of this particular week's chart, with the sub 40 positions having their new entries (mostly one week wonders) placed in different orders in different sources. I am going to go with the positions that my chart advisor for the 60's, KingOfSkiffle, has in his database, and therefore I start the week-ending 24th March 1960's one week wonders with Shaye Cogan at #40 with Mean To Me, which represents Shaye's only week on the UK chart. jAzYdH6bGLo

I only really mentioned them as they are now a Disney property.

Just had a look. It's definitely before the parties get started given that appears to be on December 30th!

Presumably the warm up act for The Queen will now be this year's Disney/Disney Pixar/Disney BlueSky/(Not yet Disney) Dreamworks movie premiere.

Presumably their native countries either still have a version of Top Of The Pops, or else some sort of similar show. In which case they could just licence a performance from that show. Or else licence a performance direct from the artist in question (who could film alive show, or stage a performance wherever they happened to be, like the Spice Girls did years ago when they were in Japan). The problem there, I assume, is the budget doesn't stretch to anyone who would wouldn't do it for goodwill/prestige/kudos and a standard bbc token fee.

Yet another double episode. I'm going to either make an increased effort to have the time to do this daily as originally settled on, or else perhaps switch to an 'every other day' basis instead. Not sure which yet. The One Week Wonders - Episodes 48 and 49 We start this episode on the same week as we ended last time, 16th January 1960, and drop to #29 for the only week in the UK chart for Bill Forbes, whose single was Too Young. NkjmcR_kmUU Next up stay with the same chart week for a third One Week Wonder, which is only the second time we've done that. The first time was 06/06/1953. This single is by Ricky Nelson and is called I Wanna Be Loved. It charted at #30 S_RQ7aVbSHA At this point I'm skipping over the Strictly Elvis EP by Elvis Presley, as one of the four tracks was Paralyzed, which had been a #8 hit in 1957. The EP was released by RCA and charted at 26 on 13th February 1960. The original 1957 hit was released on HMV, but as far as I can tell it was the same recording on both labels' releases. We end this episode on the same week, but at #30 with Toni Fisher's The Big Hurt. It's Toni's only week of UK chart action. PIukZsRS5r8 Episode 49 marks the point where we change our chart source. The NME chart is used by most chart books, and by the OCC, up to the week dated 4th March 1960 (or sometimes this week is referred to as the 3rd rather than 4th), though Guinness originally stopped with the previous week and left a week's gap in their data. The chart week-ending 10th March 1960 is the first one most sources take from the Record Retailer (now Music Week) who launched a Top 50 that week, the first weekly singles chart of its size in the UK. From 1962 the chart was also printed in rival title Record Mirror, and from 1969 it carried the new Official chart compiled by BMRB and used by BBC Radio 1 and Top Of The Pops. It's because of this later adoption of the Official charts (which Music Week have continued to publish to this day) and the larger size of the early 60s charts. that various chart publications, most notably the first Guinness Book Of British Hit Singles, adopted it as their choice of chart for the sixties, and because of that it was then also adopted by Chart Information Network who then became the Official Chart Company. It is however important to remember that there was no Official chart prior to the BMRB chart launched in February 1969. NME continued on into the sxites with its chart, which lasted until 1988, as did Melody Maker's, both of which were more widely reported in newspapers and record shops than the Record Retailer's chart. There was also a Disc and Music Echo chart, and several shorter lived charts, such as Merseybeat's. The BBC for their part took the charts of several papers (the exact number depending on which chart week you are looking at) and created an averaged chart to use for Pick Of The Pops and Top Of The Pops (rumour has it this chart was compiled by the young daughter of POTP's producer), although they now seem to almost exclusively ignore their old POTP/TOTP charts for the 50s and 60s, in favour of those which the OCC and many chart books deem to have been Official in that era. The effect of this change of chart on this thread is that the One Week Wonders from now on are further down the chart and more obscure. Arguements could also be made that in the first few years of the 60s they could also be more dubious, in terms of the accuracy of the original charts, since there was a smaller sample size despite the large size of the chart, and therefore with each return shop having larger weight it means that hyping, and other localised differences in music taste, could have played a bigger factor in the final chart positions. We start episode 49 then with Don Lang, real name Gordon Langhorn, and Sink The Bismarck, which charted at #43 on the first Record Retailer chart, w/e 10th March 1960. Don had reached #5 in 1958 with Witch Doctor. HvTIcsApIg0 Staying with the same week we drop to #45 for Ken Mackintosh and No Hiding Place, the theme from the Associated Rediffusion cop series of the same name, which had started in September 1959 and was the sequel to its previous series Murder Bag and Crime Sheet. I5sICb0mlCY Finally for episode 49 we stay with the same week for a third One Week Wonder (again), and move down to #46 for Hound Dog Man by Fabian. Hound Dog Man is the theme from the Fabiano Forte movie of the same name, in which Fabian stars as Clint McKinney. The film was based on a 1947 novel by Fred Gipson, who had also written Old Yeller, which was adapted into film by Walt Disney in 1957. Fabian sang several other songs in the movie, but this was to be his only week on the UK chart. 3Tq_4pMXJdg Before I finished I wanted to just let you know that I have added a list of all featured One Week Wonders (both the singles, and the act whose week was their entire UK chart career) in my first post on page one, and intended to keep this up to date. I'm also open to suggestion for other lists and stats that could be compiled and maintained there.

I take it the Youtube Music option doesn't include video streaming? I generally stream music videos first on youtube, to count as little to the charts as possible, in case I don't like it, and then when/if I find I something I want to assist the chart performance of in a given week I'd then go to spotify to stream it, and/or itunes to download it. Also how would people who use smart speakers vote here? My friend always asks Alexa for anything she wants to hear, so did she have to link Alexa to one of the listed streaming sites first for that to work, or does it count as a separate thing in and of itself? Just curious.
