Only ever #1 in my chart for the Tremeloes. The Boomtown Rats are the only other artist to top my chart with a song that has "number one" in the title, the Black Arts falling just short in 2007.

Two new entries for Creedence Clearwater Revival, one of two songs around this period covered later by Bananarama, the other will enter shortly. As well as two Mel & Kims there is also a Mel & Tim, who enter this week. They are also in my 1972 chart at present with their only other hit "Starting All Over Again".

A John Denver composition, the highest entry this week. Here is a video clip of John Denver performing it with them

Has any other song been on our chart for 20 consecutive weeks before it reached its peak?

1st November 1969

It's a brand new entry at 1 for Archie Bell & The Drells, as they exit with their current single they smash in with 1972 UK hit Here I Go Again, the B side of the next single in the USA and album track from their current album There's Gonna Be A Showdown. Bizarrely it was never a hit in the USA, but the UK Northern Soul scene knew a great track when they heard it, and it topped my charts in '72. The Four Tops meanwhile finally sneak into the 10 with the fab single Do What You Gotta Do. Levi Stubbs is one of the greatest singers of all-time, but I love the line I mis-hear as "I loved you better than your own kidney". It should be "kin did"

Another Paint Your Wagon track makes the 40. along with Dusty's second as her previous chart-topper exits the top 10, and Harry J also pops in. New entries from Led Zep, debuting with the future Top Of The Pops song Whole Lotta Love in at 45 - it's a great record, but I knew the C.C.S. version first, and that has my full love. I was introduced to this album by my good friend Robert Gough, a year younger than me and returning to Singapore from Boarding School in 1971 after going mad on Led Zep. He was a year younger than me and it was a complete culture shock - I wanted to hear his Monkees singles and he was so disappointed I didn't like it one bit. Well, I got there in the end.....(but I'd still rather hear The Monkees!).

Little Green Bag pops in 6 years ahead of the rather less-good Paloma Blanca for George Baker, I expect it would still be obscure in the UK if not for Quentin and his ongoing quest to use lesser-known 60's and 70's tracks in his movies. 1910 Fruitgum Company's best record enters at 54, the non-bubblegum When We Get Married, Roger "Whistling" Whittaker debuts with Durham Town, his best record by far but he'll pop up again in the 70's always fresh off his many many TV variety show spots. Lulu ends her Mickie Most era with a soul groove, and the direction of her real love that blossomed in the 90's after a very schizophrenic musical career, Oh Me Oh My and the only track to enter that I actually knew in Singapore - it got radio play, hooray!

In at 70, The Newbeats future B side to the brilliant re-issue of oldie Run Baby Run which hit in the UK in 1971 when I was back in the UK excited over the music scene - Groovin' wasn't a hit, but still only 2 years to wait for the comeback. More bubblegum from Tommy Roe at 75, this time he's jammed up jelly tight, which sounds worryingly sticky. Mark Lindsay has his first solo entry with Arizona, having broken away from Paul Revere & The Raiders for a bit, and The Isley Brothers return with It's Your Thing (again). It's labelled Bless Your Heart and is doing well in the US soul charts this week, but trust me it's the same track, more or less, albeit the notes not necessarily in the right order, and the words changed for artistic purposes.
