This UK #2, USA #5 (& #1 in Australia, Ireland, & Spain) first single of McCartney's solo career, this New York Ram album session recording (neither it nor its flip-side made the subsequent album), was written and previewed during the Beatles' Let It Be sessions in 1969. (It was rejected by the band as George Harrison once described it "... It's Eleanor Rigby in New York"). The observational lyrics describe the drudgery and sadness of an unnamed woman's life at work and at home.

[Earl Purple]

Marvin Gaye climbed in the US chart from 49 to 29 this week, thus entering the top 40 and also entering my chart. I think one person charts something here and everyone else copies them and adds it to their list.

I was compiling these 1971 charts in April 2018.

I don't wait for songs to get in the US top 40 though. If it's something that isn't a UK hit and I like it then I will chart it as soon as it enters the US chart.

Tin Tin - This sounds so like the Bee Gees, probably because it was produced by Maurice Gibb.

Marvin Gaye climbed in the US chart from 49 to 29 this week, thus entering the top 40 and also entering my chart. I think one person charts something here and everyone else copies them and adds it to their list.

I was compiling these 1971 charts in April 2018.

It's all good, whatever works for anyone is fine 

I did my "charts of the time" at the time, and they are UK top 30 based for the most part until 1974, but that was 50 years ago and I'm still discovering new stuff I didn't know then, so my charts are applying 2021 rules to 1971 world-wide releases. If it's newly-available to stream (or buy) somewhere in the world it qualifies for my expanded charts. As streaming didn't exist in 1971 I've taken it to also include anything that was on TV or in a film at that time on the grounds that, like Wellerman, it would become available pretty much immediately in one form or another if it wasn't already available.

The benefit is I'm not just repeating the same tracks in a different order, and I'm really enjoying seeing tracks competing with different tracks for the top spots rather than the same ones they originally competed with and ending up with the same runs on top. My revisited charts are frequently VERY different from the originals as I find I've really gone off some tracks I loved when I was 13

My 1977 list pulls in songs I didn't chart at the time, and some appear earlier than they did back then, partly because I'm pulling in a full UK top 50 and mostly because of the US top 40.

The ones that charted well back then generally do the same now, but at the time Hotel California replaced Sir Duke at number one and this time it was the other way round but they still both reached number 1.

Hotel California went top 10 for me but underperformed, Stevie Wonder managed a week on top squeezed in between Abba for 10 weeks on top and Barbra Streisand for 4 weeks. I could see The Eagles challenging Stevie and Babs for the top spot if I revisited 1977 - unless there's something classic in the US charts cos I just don't know yet!

There is, however, a classic album out 10th Feb in 1971 so that'll be impacting next day or two in my charts quite substantially...

Don't want to rain on anyone's parade (sorry!) but that version of You Couldve Been A Lady lies 5 or 6 years in the future, the original is quite different, more rock less disco. I prefer the original myself....

27th February 1971

It's up to the top spot for a second chart-topper in a row for T.Rex as the wondrous Hot Love edges out the wondrous Another Day, and the other big story of the chart is the release of Carole King's timeless classic album, Tapestry, with multiple tracks off the album entering, headed by the lead single It's Too Late at 8, a jazz-flavoured marvel for the 60's greatest female pop songwriter having broken up with partner/hubbie Gerry Goffin and moving into the West Coast singer-songwriter genre with major success. Her Natural Woman is in at 10, having already topped the chart for the brilliant Aretha Franklin, the B side (in the UK) of It's Too Late enters at 42, I Feel The Earth Move, the lovely So far Away is at 52, future James Taylor hit-cover You've Got A Friend is lower down, as is Carole's update of The Shirelles' hit version of her Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow.

The next hit version of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow will be along in 3 years-time for Melanie, meanwhile Melanie's top 10 Nickel Song is covered by The New Seekers and pops in at 39. Other newies: Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose with the fab Treat Her Like A lady; Stevie Wonder with his Beatles cover We Can Work It Out, and the much better B side Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer signalling his future in music, a gorgeous touching ballad, as everyone goes introspective singer-songwriter.

Wot I liked then 2nd March 1971

It's a second week on top for a huge Partridge Family fave of 13-year-old me, but in pops Paul McCartney with Another Day, indisputably my fave post-Beatles track to date, what a melody as Macca prepares to invent Indie Pop on Ram, and also in one place behind at 11 it's another 1971 giant, as Marc Bolan proves he's no one-hit wonder with the majestic singalong Hot Love. Neil Diamond almost makes it two chart-toppers in a row, but falls just short at 2. New World cover Rose Garden, to lesser effect, but it was pleasant enough to compete with the definitive Lynn Anderson version. Deep Purple also pop in again, with a strange kinda woman.
