Shambala is up to #20 but I still don't remember it . It was on Heardle Decades 1970s recently and I didn't get it.

I got a bit of a reminder of that Jim Croce song when I saw Vinnie Jones doing it on a TOTP that someone posted. (That one also appeared in Time Machine 1973 but did rather badly, so not surprisingly it isn't done that well in the Combi Chart, plus I think a lot of people here don't chart US-only hits).

2nd June 1973

It's up to the top spot for Marc Bolan and gang, and that makes another hat-trick of chart-toppers for T.Rex, as The Groover becomes the 8th retro number one, with a challenge from Mike Oldfield at 2, side one of Tubular Bells just ahead of Clifford T. Ward's Gaye, and other top 10 climbers from Dave Edmunds, his 3rd top 10 at 7, Nazareth's first at 8, and Mott's 2nd at 9. The top end of the chart continues to be manic with 2 more new entries just missing the top 10 - Paul Simon's next single of his new Rhymin' Simon album, Loves Me Like A Rock at 22 proves gospel takes the edge over his New Orleans Jazz-blues at 25, and the highest new one the final big record for Blue Mink, who are feeling a bit Randy at 21. Always did amuse me, that.

It's another rock goodie for The Osmonds, as Goin' Home is new at 33, their 6th chart entry as a group, and The New Seekers waste no time with yet another ballad new at 51, Goodbye Is Just Another Word. Geordie make it 3 in a row as Can You Do It enters at 68, and The Four Tops are Man Enough at 74.

2nd June 1973 Wot I Liked That Week Then

It's 5 weeks on top for Wizzard 50 years ago as I still played the single to death almost every day after school, but threats are merging from Stevie Wonder grabbing his highest-placed track to date at 2 for Sunshine Of My Life. First Choice go top 10 with the fabulous Armed And Extremely Dangerous at 8 and Dave Edmunds enters at 26 with his follow-up to a chart-topper, Born To Be With You, his 50's cover a la Phil Spector again. George Harrison gets his 3rd solo chart entry at 28 with Give Me Love (averaging one a year pretty much until 1976), new singer-songwriter soul-style Linda Lewis debuts Rock A Doodle Doo at 29, and the brilliant Gerry Rafferty is back with his 2nd chart entry, with Joe Egan as Stealers Wheel, the classic Stuck In The Middle at 30. Five years from now the greatest record of all-time will pop up...
