[popchartfreak]

26th January 1974



It's straight in on top for The Hollies' version of the Albert Hammond song, The Air That I Breathe, which brings Allan Clarke and the gang back on form with an amazing ballad and second Retro chart-topper after 1969's He Ain't Heavy. That soaring guitar and Allan's vocals and harmonies are at the heart of it, while former bandmate Graham Nash is up to 36 with his gentle country song On The Line. That blocks a third Chinnchap number as Devil Gate Drive is at 2 for Suzi Quatro, her second top 3 after Can The Can hit the top spot.



New in at 11, taken from his new album, Ian "Woodstock" Matthews is back with his cover of Jackson Browne's mature teenage-written-debut-song These Days, previously charted by Nico in 1968. This version looks to be the inspiration for the heartbreaking Glen Campbell version in the 00's, which was brilliant, the lyrics suiting an older person with alzheimers more than say, a wistful teenager (who actually wrote it). I'd never heard this version before yesterday. Glen Campbell, meanwhile, returns with the very Jimmy-Webb sounding Houston (I'm Coming To See You) at 51 taken from his latest album which I happen to have on vinyl.



New at 20, Alvin gets his follow-up, the very Elvis Glam-styled Jealous Mind, who together with Mud, was showing the sort of things Elvis could have been doing rather than his largely tedious actual stuff (which fails to make my chart this week). New at 30, the late Canadian folkie Gordon Lightfoot debuts his fab Sundown, a US chart-topper and UK flop, while Marc Bolan abruptly changes style for the sprawling ballad Teenage Dream. The glory days were very much over for T. Rex, but the B side sneaks in at 80.



Neil Sedaka keeps his UK run going with his rock'n'roll throwback A Little Lovin' as he gears up to be signed to Elton John's Rocket label to win back his homeland on an album showcasing the best of his first 2 UK-only albums - which will pay dividends for the unassuming, talented family man who in no way looked like a pop star in the 70's. The music was everything. Gilbert's also back with one I didn't like at the time, but Happiness Is Me & You sounds OK 50 years later, and the very annoying Ma He's Making Eyes At Me isn't actually that bad, and the TV talent show child star Lena Zavaroni didn't deserve to die young from anorexia, so the track is kinda sad these days. She was about 10 and far too young for the music biz and the accompanying media attacks.

22nd JAN 1974 my actual charts of the time


2nd week at the top for hero Paul McCartney & his missus, and had I been listing albums Band On The Run would have topping too, they played a different track when it topped the chart on Johnnie Walker’s Radio 1 lunchtime show so I got a good idea just how good it was - even if I didn’t have the money to buy it! Still Macca’s finest post-Beatles album.



Mud stuck at 2 again, and Cher up to 3, Suzi back into the top 10, Todd makes it for the first official time (though I Saw The Light would have made it a year earlier had I allowed non-chart singles), and highest new entry is a hot new radio exclusive for Alvin Stardust, following up his chart-topper My Coo Ca Choo - in the real world it was Jealous Mind that hit number 1. 10CC go top 20, Stealer’s Wheel get their third hit with Star (future Baker Street-man Gerry Rafferty on vocals) and ultimate soul vocalist Aretha Franklin returns for the first time in 2 years with a gorgeous Stevie Wonder cover. Juuuuust gorgeous.
