It's the first new chart of the year, and we start with a new number one and it's the Kinks' 6th chart topper, only the Beatles with 8 are ahead of them.
All the top 5 are the same as last week, they are just all in different positions, as they all swap places.
Dave Edmunds drops 1, as does McGuiness Flint. Gilbert O'Sullivan is up to 4 and T Rex slip to 5.
There are 5 new entries and 1 re-entry this week, the highest is Candi Staton at number 15.
The biggest climber is the Equals who move up 7 places to number 7.
The biggest faller is Simon & Garfunkel who drop off the chart from 33.
