Of our combi number ones, Marvin Gaye peaked at #9 in the UK, Marmalade at #3, Beatles and Moody Blues at #2 and the rest were all UK #1s. Of the UK #1s I reckon Lee Marvin, Dana and England World Cup Squad did a lot worse in our combi-chart. (Rolf Harris though made it ti #2 in our combi-chart)

Ok, I looked it up. Lee Marvin reached #13 in our combi chart and Dana #10, but it appears that "Back Home" by the England World Cup Squad failed to reach our combi-chart at all.

The UK number 1's that didn't do to well in our retro chart were:
Lee Marvin - Wand'rin Star only reached number 13
Dana - All Kinds Of Everything only reached number 10
England World Cup Squad - Back Home only reached number 34 and only spent 1 week in our top 40.
