Beatles 1967-1970 (Blue) re-entered the Top 75 this week. Has this helped it to move up the Top 100 YTD?
I suppose Beatles 1 lies beyond the Top 100 positions?
Yes I wonder if there was a spike in physical sales for the blue album and whether it will just switch back next week again.
Blue album moved 78-77 in the YTD this week.
Red album moved 97-99.
“1” has never appeared in the YTD Top 100 this year.

Does a more iconic soul riff exist than this?
9 Curtis Mayfield Move On Up Another era defining masterpiece that peaked far too low and the only Top 40 other than a later feature for this US singer
8 The Jackson Five Never Can Say Goodbye Originally intended for The Supremes, and it is a grown up theme for young Michael, but one of their very best songs
8 Buffy Sainte-Marie Soldier Blue From the film "Soldier Boy" and the 1st hit for this US folk singer: there's a compelling rawness and sensitivity to this
7 Family In My Own Time Their only Top 10 hit: I like how rough and ready and musically quirky this is with the plonky chords and growled vocals
7 Diana Ross I'm Still Waiting 303rd #1: the song has the potential to be overly sentimental but Diana tells the story well and it's a captivating melody
6 Cliff Richard Flying Machine His 1st Top 30 miss which is rather a shame as it's a charming and quite uplifting folky track enhanced by the flute riff
6 The Tams Hey Girl Don't Bother Me 304th #1: this feels like a very low key chart topper and it's their only really big hit, but it's an enjoyable soulful track
5 The Pioneers Let Your Yeah Be Yeah Their only really big hit written by Jimmy Cliff: it's good but quite a safe soul track and nothing we haven't heard before
5 Creedence Clearwater Revival Sweet Hitch-Hiker Their last Top 40 and one of their weaker ones I think: a decent and energetic but fairly standard slice of rock 'n' roll
4 The Velvelettes These Things Will Keep Me Loving You Only hit for this US group and actually a 60s song that gained airplay later: a nice well performed but not distinctive track
4 Dawn Featuring Tony Orlando What Are You Doing Sunday The follow up to their chart topper and I actually slightly prefer this: a very nicely done little tune though nothing exciting
3 The New Seekers Never Ending Song Of Love 1st Top 40 for this group formed following The Seekers' temporary breakup: I find this rather formulaic and overly cheery
2 Gilbert O'Sullivan We Will I think the mundane conversational style is Gilbert's trademark but it doesn't work in this over-sentimental track for me
2 Ken Dodd When Love Comes Round Again Ken comes round again: this one is not unpleasant but very old fashioned and plodding with an oddly jolly backing chorus
