I have absolutely no idea what mine will look like, so it's going to be very interesting.

OMG, Diana Ross - Missing You.....330 points!!! I was charting it while it was on the US charts which was for more than 6 months. It was actually set to "flop" when it peaked in the mid-40s then it was featured on a tribute to Marvin Gaye and did an about turn. Hard to understand why it bombed in the UK when they tried so hard to break it - normally EMI were very good at that (they remained responsible for Diana in the UK as she was with Capitol here.)

Strawberry Switchblade #10!
I liked both the Phyllis Nelson and Paige and Dickson singles but it somehow seems strange to see them in a Haven Top 10.
Finding this very interesting.
Fascinating to see the different tastes of the Posters emerging.

Just had to re-check that one, we've never had an individual score over 300 before! Wow, 20 weeks in your Top 20. I really liked it too, got to number 6 on my chart this year!
