A 4th week at #1 for Wizzard which beats the 3 weeks Roy Wood spent at #1 as part of the Move with "Flowers In The Rain" in 1967. The Move also twice peaked at NM #2.

Two singles that topped the UK chart for 1 week both enter this week. Suzi Quatro will do a lot better on the NM chart with her second UK #1 and even better still with her UK #4 hit from 1978. 10cc will be massive.

5th May 1973

It's straight in at 1 for Suzi Quatro's 2nd retro track as she goes full leather glam icon. Number one in a field of one. Can The Can keeps Chinn- Chapman as hit machines of 1973 with 10CC going top 5 with Rubber Bullets.

New at 18 Junior Campbell drops his 2nd soul goodie Sweet Illusions, and George Harrison is back after 2 years working on the next album and lead single Give Me Love at 23. The Stylistics head a US soul mini invasion with their Bacharach cover at 56 and O'Jays Chi-Lites and Eddie Kendricks all adding to their growing list of tracks. That leaves a decent cover of Hello Stranger at 65 the fab Barbara Lewis original predating the retro charts

5th May 1973 my chart that week then

Its a 3rd number 1 for The Sweet as Hell Raiser moves Wizzard aside briefly. The Detroit Spinners go top 10 for the first time and Quo chart an old track from 1970 as Mean Girl debuts at 20. Deodata jazzes up the 2001: A Space Odyssey classical Also Sprach Zarathustra at 24.

The old tune Bessame Mucho gets an upgrade from Apollo 100 - a flop track that i rated its a great tune lyrics not included. Nazereth enter at 28 with Brokendown Angel and Perry Como sneaks in with Don McLean's And I Love You So.
