It's funny that Amen Corner had both the highest jump to number 1 and it was also the biggest faller from number 1 as well.
This was the chart run. It also had the second least weeks on the chart for a number 1.
Amen Corner - (If Paradise Is) Half As Nice - (12-1-1-1-1-1-19-37)

Great stats, fascinating presentation. Thank you so much for putting in all this work, every week, to bring us the 1969 lists.
Although my top scoring act of the year so far is the Beatles, my entire Top 10 is by American acts, most of whom are soul / r'n'b. It really was a great year for black artists and songwriters. Seems strange how it has taken 50 years for us to celebrate the first British black artist to headline at Glastonbury.
