Same songs in the top 5 as last week and these two weeks are contenders for the strongest NM top 5 of all time, although there are a couple of weeks in 1978 and 1979 that possibly compete with it. T-Rex have made some great songs but I don't think Groover can compete with those 5 and remains stuck at #6.

Diana Ross and Elton John get the highest two new entries with classics of their own.

Back in September 2007 I was in HMV, Swindon browsing the CD racks when I noticed less than 5 feet away from me was none other than Andy Partridge of XTC. We got chatting about music, as my tastes are more advanced than most people and after 7 or 8 minutes or so I asked him to recommend an act or album I probably did not know. He moved a few feet away and quickly found a copy of the 2CD Judee Sill - Abracadabra: The Asylum Years and said something to the effect of "imagine Joni Mitchell meets Aimee Mann making Rufus Wainwright's two Want albums ...". I promptly bought said album, but he had cleared off before I asked him to sign it, but besides I did not have a pen, and he probably would have told me to F*** Off anyway so ruining the occasion. Anyway this track is for me her stand out song. Or in a 2015 in a BBC Radio special on this artist who died of a legal drug overdose in 1979 one Andy Partridge said "this is maybe the most beautiful song ever written". He is not wrong.

23rd June 1973

It's 2 weeks on top for Carl Anderson, for his Jesus Christ Superstar anthem from the movie, as Yvonne Elliman switches places at 2 and 3, with Don Downing's fab Lonely Days up to 4. Paul Simon gets a 3rd solo top 10 with Loves Me Like A Rock, and highest new entry is the fab soul of That Lady, The Isley Brothers guitar work the equal of the vocals of Ronald Isley, in at 16 and their biggest track since the reissues of Behind The Painted Smile and This Old Heart Of Mine, Isleys version 3 having firmly arrived now.

New at 18, Hot Chocolate are on their 7th chart retro hit and 6th top 20, with Rumours very much in the vein of Brother Louie, but nonetheless good anyway. Ted Neeley makes it 5 top 20 JCS tracks, with a big climb to 19, and David Gates leaves Bread for now, and debuts his solo single Clouds at 58. Elton's getting ready to drop his next (double) album and starts with his first rocker, Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting, not unreasonably commenting on pub life of the time. Not one of his best, though, in at 63. Al Green generously drops a future UB40 song, Here I Am at 67, not one I recall until UB40 finally made the song a hit in the UK.

Stealers Wheel get a 2nd entry, Gerry's 3rd, Everything Will Turn Out Fine, new at 70, Aretha drops her latest US single, the rather nice Angel at 71, and Mungo Jerry are Alright, Alright, Alright as they return to the vibes of Baby Jump, but jolly rather than angry, at 73. That leaves Vicky Leandros on her 4th chart entry new at 74, out-Greek-influencing Demis Roussos at 75.

Wot I liked then my actual chart of 23rd June 1973

It's still Wizzard on top for an 8th week, but the next number one is already on the chart lower down. Junior Campbell is the latest record to fall one short due to the Roy Wood behemoth. Dave Edmunds makes it 2 top 3's in a row and Mott The Hoople make it 2 top 4's in a row, with Linda Lewis getting her first Top 10 and top 5 - but not her last. Albatross (not due to the John Cleese Python sketch sadly) is up to 7 giving Fleetwood Mac a top 10 with the same song twice - that's the first song to do it in my original charts, bar songs that were on an EP (Sugar Sugar did that a year after the single).

Slade debut their latest Skweeze at 26, just ahead of Geordie on their 3rd chart entry Can You Do It, and Brian can do it, just 7 years to go to AC/DC. Paul Simon's US single was not issued in the UK due to advertising issues, so we had the much better Take Me To The Mardi Gras anyway, new at 29, and at 30 Chairmen Of The Board's final hit is new at 30, Finder's Keepers sounding like a very funky track The Banana Splits had sung on their show and which had been repeated recently then - creatives like Barry White got involved with that show's tunes, back in 1969, and hey presto 4 years on Bazza is up to 13 with his brilliant soul debut.
