Produced by its writer David Bowie (who supplied backing vocals & saxophone) with Mick Ronson in "a sleazy, almost Berlin cabaret style" during the Pin Ups album session recordings (Bowie aborted the idea to get corresponding UK 1964-67 chart acts cover his material as a mirroring album), it gave the Scottish singer a UK #3 & Ireland #8 hit.

12th January 1974



It's straight in on top for a 4th number one in a row for The Sweet, as the Chinn-Chapman glamwagon keeps on rolling, Teenage Rampage ramping up the manic rock just as Mud hit their Chinn-Chapman peak with Tiger Feet entering at 5 for 4 top 5's in a row. My brother bought Teenage Rampage and I bought Tiger Feet, and so far this is mirroring how both records did in my original charts. The Chi-Lites meanwhile make it 6 top 10's as Homely Girl is up to 9.



David Bowie, were this 2024, would be lead artist featuring Lulu on The Man Who Sold The World and the B side Watch That Man, at 11 and 74 respectively, so I've given him a featuring credit - he wrote, produced, arranged and sang on both tracks, but really it's Lulu who is featuring, and looking oh so cool on Top Of The Pops. That's 7 years of retro charting and she's still only 25 or so at the time with a decade of hit singles.



Down the lower end, The Four Tops also keep the chart entries coming for a 7th year, with I Just Can't Get You Out Of My Mind new at 69, John Denver is into year 4 with Sunshine On My Shoulders, a UK flop, but one I knew. A lad in my class who was cool and self-confident and sporty, once absent-mindedly started singing "Sunshine" and stopped. So I finished the line and he was impressed I knew it, which made me feel cool by association as John Denver had yet to have a hit record in the UK.



Bette Midler's back, covering Glen Miller's In The Mood in a 1940's style, as she becomes an overnight sensation in the UK any week on the Parkinson chat show - funny, self-confident, brassy and sexy, and so so sharp and quick-witted in conversation. Instant fan here. That leaves The Detroit Spinners into a 5th year of charting, with Mighty Love, another UK flop, but it's not up to recent standards and hints at more out and out discofunk rather than smooth Philly grooves.

8th JAN 1974



Yes, freed from the UK singles charts - I now was free to include any tracks I liked, and I did so, album tracks, flops and especially American hits as I listened more to Paul Gambaccini's American charts countdown and also I discovered the American forces radio Europe network (living in Gloucester we had different radio signals from previous Lincoln where Radio Luxembourg was the only alternative to radio 1).



It was also the last year of school for a lot of kids who'd been caught by the raising of school leaving age, and weren't that interested in being there till 16. Hey ho. In those days local factories took on apprentices straight from school, and they wanted to be earning cash to go out to discos and suchlike. A new year and lots of new exciting records! The Sweet got their 5th consecutive number one with the stomping Teenage Rampage, one my brother bought and which I initially preferred to Chin-Chapman's classic Tiger Feet from Mud (the one I bought with my birthday record tokens, yes I was now sweet 16, all shy and innocent, and much more interested in DC Comics and Pop music, and Star Trek, than anything else. I even used to read science fiction novels back then. Yes I had time to actually read books. Wow!)



highest new entry was the radio played track for the album Band On The Run which had already topped the charts. I had little money for albums, so I can't express how frustrating it was to absolutely love a record and not be able to buy it. For months. A bit like 2014, then, only then it was rare, now it's common.



A third Chinn-Chapman hit machine track also entered high for Suzi Quatro and what a gem, though that was also a few weeks away from release. Lulu was back. With a Bowie bang! The absolutely marvellous cover of his The Man Who Sold The World set Lulu on a path to kinda-cool (occasionally) and a chameleon-like musical career after her pop days of the 60's. Meanwhile future-charters pop in lower down with flops that shoulda been hits, Gallagher & Lyle and Sutherland Brothers, writers of hit songs for others, most notably Tina Turner and Rod Stewart. Yes, Rod's Sailing was a Sutherland Brothers cover version. Can I just say he completely changed the band's version and turned it into a dirge? Just like almost all of his cover versions. Check out the original, way better.
