Welcome to the chart for the first time Electric Light Orchestra. In the UK this enters with "California Man" by the Move still in the chart but on this chart that dropped out a few weeks ago after peaking at #10.
So two acts from the first edition of Haven Factor enter the chart this week, but the Rolling Stones do not enter with "Happy", a track from their album "Exile On Main Street". Haven Factor 2's winners drop out of the chart. The Bee Gees and The Kinks have also been in Haven Factor.
Also not charting is Labi Siffre with a song that steals the riff off "Something In The Air", a bit too much for my liking. Detroit Emeralds may feel the need to get into the chart next year. And in the US they're not simply called Emeralds.
