19th May 1973

It's up to 1 for the first-ever Eurovision Retro chart-topper - and Mocedades didn;t even win in 1973, Anne-Marie David did and she climbs to 10, Eres Tu joust sounding better 50 years on. It's also the first Spanish language chart-topper in my retro charts. Junior Campbell makes it 2 top 10's in a row, and biggest climbers are Apollo 100 up to 13 - yet another Spanish-language song - albeit mostly instrumental banger, and Welcome Home gives Peters & Lee much more love than I gave them when I was 15 years old, rocketing to 28. 

It's a quiet week for new entries, Carpenters at 66 with the ballad Yesterday Once More, one I loved back then, not so much these days, Michjael jackson's flop Music & Me, which is quite sweet at 62, the Hotshots reggae cover of Snoopy vs The Red Baron, which sounded better at the time than the original version, but 50 years on it doesn't, while Albert Hammond charts with his own version of his own song that Cass Elliot wen top 10 with in the 1972 Retro chart. Billy Paul sneaks in with a follow-up, and The Tremeloes have a more T.Rex/rock'n'roll effort to try and get a hit with - Ride On still flopped.

19th May 1973 My weekly chart of that week back then

It's week 3 on top for See My Baby Jive as Roy Wood-mania grips me for the next 2 years or so. The highest new entry is The Detroit Emeralds' 2nd hit, You Want It You Got It at at 13 as Quo make it 2 top 10's in a row. There's a bunch of biggies pending outside the top 20 as they hadn't yet made the UK top 30, with some new ones added to the list from The Partridge Family's final single Walking In The Rain, a pretty good version of The Ronettes' classic at 26, and Albatross (Albatross! Get Your Albatross!) back 5 years on for Fleetwood Mac and the first example of a song making my chart twice on a reissue. This is the start of a deluge starting as I get big on old faves and the UK charts starts re-charting stuff from 1968 onwards. Finally First Choice bring a Philly classic (an underrated one) in at 29 and the fabulous Armed And Extremely Dangerous.
