	Britain.tv Wikipedia - UK Singles Chart
		The precise number is debatable due to the profusion of different competing charts during the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, although the usual list used is that endorsed by the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles and subsequently adopted by The Official UK Charts Company.
		Singles that climb the charts and spend a number of weeks at a high position are now rare, and usually denote 'super' singles, which manage to enter the public consciousness and appeal to a wide range of people.
		At that time singles usually took several weeks to climb to a high position in the charts, and it was rare and remarkable for a single to go straight in at number 1.

	Britain.tv Wikipedia - ABBA
		Agnetha FÃ¤ltskog, ABBA's youngest member, had a #1 record in Sweden when she was only 17 and was noted by the critics and songwriters as a talented composer, most of her songs being in the schlager style.
		The single also became the first charting record for the quartet in the United States, where it peaked at #114 on the Cashbox singles chart and #117 on Record World's singles chart.
		Their stand-alone single Summer Night City, their last Swedish number one, stopped just short of topping the UK charts but set the stage for ABBA's foray into disco with the album Voulez-Vous, which was released in April 1979.

		This is a list of people who have either provided me with information directly, or who are authors of files at the ftp site I utilised, or who posted notable contributions to the list from which I was able to glean useful information.
		However, in occult lore, negro mysticism and other belief systems, a dispensation for this is the influence of seven which is considered a lucky number, the seventh son may have a variety of supernatural powers to compensate for his reduced birthright.
		1) "Darlene" : listed (4:37), actual (5:07) - The reason for this timing mistake may be that originally Jimmy was planning to fade the song out quickly, as around 4:37 Plant says "Go" for the last time and the song does begin to fade, but it takes a further 30 seconds to fade out completely.

		The release of their second album ABBA and their single "SOS" consolidated ABBA's presence in the UK, where the single was a Top 10 hit and the album reached #13, and where they were no longer regarded as a Eurovision one-hit wonder.
		It became ABBA's first UK #1 album and included "Fernando" (which had originally been written in Swedish for Anni-Frid's 1975 Benny-produced solo LP Frida ensam (Frida alone) and was a smash hit in Scandinavia, prompting a subsequent English-language recording by ABBA).
		The next single from the album, "Super Trouper" also hit No. 1 in UK but was only moderately successful in the US.

		Album number ten by this key figure in the history of electronic music, and godfather to the ambient, techno, house, and trance genres.
		After a couple of hit singles early in their career, the group settled down to produce a string of classic albums that helped define the term "progressive" on early FM radio.
		Hall is perhaps not as well known as he should be to the general population, but this is not the fault of the material, which reflects on the stories of the everyday world with humor and insight, and no trace of self-indulgence.

	Beatles At The Vanguard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Avant garde (sometimes avant-garde; literally, vanguard) is a French phrase, one of a number of French phrases used by English speakers.
		As this categorical list only deals with The Beatles song catalogue, and does not include Lennon’s later political activism, and Harrison’s cultural activism, the present case to say those in The Beatles who were vanguard is almost moot.
		And in the bigger picture, Lennon and Harrison’s reluctance to often be public figures or play to the rules of popular culture and Mass Media, by appearing on tour, or in the public ‘mind’, sits in stark contrast to Starr and McCartney’s public relations.

	1960s Folk-Rock Lists
		For a 1966 non-LP single, it was totally redone as a galvanizing electric number, with bursts of bagpipes at the beginning and end, and roadhouse piano runs throughout.
		Their rare debut single, recorded for Verve Folkways and issued under the Bloos Magoos spelling, was actually a fairly tasty, moody folk-rocker with all the hallmarks of youth newly awakened to the form circa late 1965: sullen vocalizing, a lumbering but appealing mid-tempo beat, slightly surreal lyrics projecting social alienation.
		Nowhere is this better heard than on their first single, "Coo Coo," a pulverizing adaptation of a traditional folk song that's been done to death on record by innumerable acoustic folk artists, going back to the 1920s and continuing through the present.

		The essential vibes and grooves of the 1967-1975 period by this UK TV arranger.The focus here is on the music that swings in the clubs, the hammond organ driven beat sounds such as "Beat Boutique" and "Action Man", and the best chill out apres-ski numbers such as the stand out classic "Girl In A Sportscar".
		It represents a fascinating microcosm of the early 70's UK music pop sound with the emphasis on the hit pop record that was good for the discotheques.
		His UK label rivalled Bell and Rak as the most successful indie label of the period.

	Amazon.com: The Singles Collection: Music: Cliff Richard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Among the singles included here are many rarities, some of which didn't chart at all in the UK (he didn't have many of those, though he did have a lot of minor hits) - these include Honky tonk angel, which Cliff wishes he'd never recorded.
		At the time, he didn't know what a honky tonk angel was, and such a song doesn't fit his squeaky clean image, even though it's not the kind of song that would get banned by radio, even in 1974.
		All the classics are here (up to April 2002 - he's not finished yet) including his UK number ones from Living Doll (summer 1959) to The millenium prayer - actually Auld lang syne sung to the tune of The Lord's prayer (December 2000).

		Inside, however, among a list of artists that included George Michael, Oasis and Liam Howlett of Prodigy, Thompson's name is absent.
		Two years ago, Rolling Stone ran a list of "200 essential rock records." Though the Rolling Stone Album Guide ranked several of Thompson's albums between "excellent" and "classic," none made the magazine's Top 200 list.
		Two of the slower numbers -- "That's All, Amen, Close the Door" and "Uninhabited Man" -- are more in line with the best of Thompson's Nineties work.

	Barney Kessel
		Kessel toured in the early 1950s with many top jazz artists including Ella Fitzgerald and Lester Young, as part of the legendary 'Jazz At The Philharmonic' series, which producer Norman Granz recorded live at concert halls in the US and Europe.
		And his playing was a remarkable mixture of 'single line' and 'chords', ya know, which inspired me to believe that any guitarist who doesn't understand chords won't be able to play much in the single line because they relate so much.
		One such example (among many others) is Jimmy Gilmer's #1 hit (five weeks) 'Sugar Shack' on Dot Records, which was second only to the Beatles' 'She Loves You' in sales for 1963.

		Paul Weller has had number one records in the UK both >with Jam and the Style Council (as well as solo).
		The last several Style Council singles were flops, their record company refused to release their last album, and their final concert, wherein the band tried to go "house" was a media disaster.
		True, but Weller came back both after the breakups after The Jam and Style Council, and is one of the few people that have been number one with three different names.
