The record at #57, Shame by Evelyn "Champagne King" had a bizarre chart run, 23 weeks inside the top 75 without ever climbing higher than #39. It also sold over 250,000 copies which is quite astonishing. At the time, and for sometime after, it was the biggest ever selling 12" single, selling over 100,000 copies on that format alone.

Nice chart Robbie...I must admit I didn't like much of the music around this time as it was dominated by Boney M and the grease songs...
It got loads better in 1979 though
