We already have retro charts for 60s and 80s. I think it's good idea to have something related for 70s UK music charts.
Each 3-4 days I will post a list of seven songs (I wish to start with 1970 year) and all you have to do is rank them in the preference order. Bottom 3 songs will be replaced in the next edition by three new songs.
First 7 songs : Archies - Sugar, Sugar Rolf Harris - Two Little Boys Elvis Presley - Suspicious Minds Cufflinks - Tracy Blue Mink - Melting Pot Bobbie Gentry And Glen Campbell - All I Have to Do Is Dream Dave Clark Five - Good Old Rock 'N' Roll
Voting system : 10-6-4-3-2-1-0

Good idea. I will have to listen to the tracks that I don't know first, but I will vote purely on the song and brush aside anything the performer may have since been convicted of.

Not a great cover of the Everly's. I have memories of Sugar Sugar when I was 4 years old and used to get played on the radio all the time.
I prefer Banner Man to Melting Pot.

I don't really understand what this is about - where's it leading to?

I don't really understand what this is about - where's it leading to? Exactly. That is why I did not participate in the first one. If this was about the top seven entries at the beginning of 1970, then why was Kenny Rogers & The First Edition - Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town not included? If it is then about replacing the ones in the UK Top 7 that have been removed then why has Marmalade - Reflections Of My Life been snubbed? And why has Arrival - Friends & Chicago - I'm A Man which both peaked at UK #8 been included?

1. It was 12th week for Kenny Rodgers' song in UK chart, only "Sugar Sugar" was older. Probably it will be better to exclude Archies' single too and add Steve Wonder (# 6) or Tom Jones (# 10) instead it.
2. Marmalade will be in the next part of new entries. Most possibly together with Edison Lighthouse and Shocking Blue.
Peak position is very important (usually top 10 result is enough), but sometimes I will include a little less hits, if they came from big acts (for simple Bowie's "John, I'm Only Dancing", peaked only at # 12) or even in very rare situations I can add my personal favourites with peak position from 11th - 20th place region.
