I just love the thread title!

Would anyone really have thought there might be a thread about UK wees?


I don't remember this happening, but in any thread about no. 1 hits, you've just gotta have the guy that kick-started rock 'n' roll in Britain!.......

No. 1 from 25th November to 15th December 1955 AND 6th to 20th January 1956, a total of 5 weeks in the UK. It was the UK's first million-selling record, and reached 1.4 million at the time. It has since gone on to sell countless more millions.(Estimates range from 20-40 million).

This was one of my first favourites...

February 4th -11th 1965 , for 2weeks.
It would become the only single to ever enter the UK Top 10 three times, having been successfully re-released in 1969 (No. 10), and again in 1990 (No. 3).

The seekers 'pinched' a good Russian Folk tune - previously known as "Stenka Razin" for their 'pop' hit "The Carnival is over !!!


Compare and you will see.

This is Ivan Rebroff's version of "Stenka Razin"

Now compare that with the Seekers version of "The Carnival is over"
