* This week the split sides would have affected NME's averaged chart positionso an average was taken from the other 4 charts giving an average of 1 to Elvis Presley and awarded to NME to give a more representative chart position for both sides together. The Ultimate Averaged Chart - Week Ending March 3rd 1962Ĭan't Help Falling In Love / Rock-A-Hula Baby - Elvis Presley* The Ultimate Averaged Chart - Week Ending February 24th 1962 March Of The Siamese Children - Kenny BallĬan't Help Falling In Love - Elvis Presley
Peppermint Twist - Joey Dee and The Starliters Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen - Neil Sedaka Rock-A-Hula Baby / Can't Help Falling In Love - Elvis Presley The Ultimate Averaged Chart - Week Ending February 17th 1962 I do recall the KP Salted Peanuts debacle yes! Though unfortunately one needs only to look at last week's chart to see a more recent example of how such outlandishness can and does still occur, and that the OCC is still susceptible to embarrassing errors if not only the IT but their internal staff let them down (see thread re the 'comeback' JLS single!!). But the point stands - and Graham in his inimitable style has endorsed it above - that we can only be so trusting of official release dates given by record companies, and reflected in printed and digital sources, both contemporaneously and decades down the line. In any case Brian05 has apparently cleared up the issue - there was a last-minute "re-mixing delay" which pushed its distribution into W/C 14 Apr. No pre-order indications, but I'd still stake a fair claim that it had a pretty strong chance of charting highly across all charts corresponding to the week of 19 Apr '69, if not at No 1, had it come out on 11 Apr. 1969 was a very poor year for record sales in total.Yes and on further reflection that surely has to be the case and apologies because I misread the source I was quoting (as ever I was supposed to be working while I was idling on UKMix instead so rather rushed my post!) - the total sales figure was estimated as 530k. BEB (com Gusttavo Lima) Camilo & Gusttavo Lima. A Gente Fez Amor (Ao Vivo) Gusttavo Lima. Que Pasen los Das Kany Garca & Gusttavo Lima. I agree with that Brian, I also think that was the total for the year. Balada (Tch tcherere tch tch) Remix Gusttavo Lima & Dyland & Lenny. Cliff could have been a lot lower than 51. And since they didn't include records going down or records that didn't have sales increases that had not made the charts. Since the breakers list was often put in alphabetical order.
You have to be careful with assuming breakers list positions as being chart positions outside the top 50. But it made it to the top of the Breakers, so presumably was number 51.Thanks for that, I could never remember when it was broadcast. A crestfallen Cliff was interviewed saying how disappointed and surprised he was. Going back to Cliff's remarkable run of 57 hits, I can remember his first single not to chart in late 1972. It is similar to A Whiter Shade Of Pale where there was concern that the cymbals might drown out the song on the radio - so an acetate was sent to Radio London well in advance of the release date giving plenty of time for a remix if needed. McCartney had been worried about how Get Back would sound on AM radio so a remix was always on the cards.
Graham's radio programme was on 12th November 1995.
