24th October 1970

It's a first week on top for T.Rex, as Ride A White Swan kick-starts Bolan-domination of the next 2 years. It'll be more a case of "will any T.Rex track fail to top my chart, and if so which ones?" through to The Groover in 1973. Some will def top my chart, though. That keeps off The Supremes brilliant Stoned Love, entering at 2 and becoming their biggest since Love Child topped in 1968, and a track I first-heard and taped off Alan Freeman's End-of-year rundown of all the top 3's of 1971. Bread get a second top 20, Jimmy Ruffin keeps his run going, and ditto The 5th Dimension. 

Replacing themselves in the top 20, with the first of 2 new entries from both the new The Partridge Family Album and the first series of the TV show, I Can Hear Your Heartbeat is in at 19, thumpingly decent pop that should have been a single, while the quirky Bandala enters lower down - both heavily plugged on the show. The album is a bit schizophrenic, with useless muzak from session singers mixed in with great pop tracks they made when they discovered actor David Cassidy could sing, and was a huge teen idol draw. 

Other newies, a 1967 career-goodbye belated release from The Turtles as they opt to become Flo & Eddie (due to contractual obligations they couldnt use the band name) and assist the likes of T.Rex, such as backing vocals on Get It On; a Neil Diamond mid-60's reissue which is still better than his actual new one - a pointless cover of He Ain't Heavy..He's My Brother; Engelbert crooning back with a Bee Gees gifted-song; Cat Stevens' Father & Son, a huge 90's hit for Boyzone, possibly why I've never rated as highly as most seem to do.
