Just one track held the No.1 chart position for 6 weeks - It was Art Garfunkel, with the Watership Down song: "Bright Eyes". With just a weeks less duration at the top there was Pink Floyd "Another brick in the wall".
4 Weeks at No.1 seemed all to easy a target for several artists this year, as Blondie (Heart of Glass), Gloria Gaynor (I will survive), Tubeway Army (Are friends electric), Boomtown Rats (I dont like Mondays), and Cliff Richard (We dont talk anymore), will all vouch for.
3 weeks at the top was managed by those People from the village with "YMCA", and Blondie "Sunday Girl", The Police "Message in a bottle", Dr Hooks "When you're in love with a beautiful woman" and Lena Martell's "One day at a time".
2 artists topped the charts for 2 weeks each - The Bee Gees with "Tragedy" and Anita Wards "you can ring my bell" (with those darn annoying synth-toms)...
Showing evidence that theres no accounting for taste, some class acts and tunes only acheived 1 week at the very apex of the charts. Ian Dury and the blockheads "Hit me with your rhythm stick, Gary Numans "Cars", Buggles "Video killed the radio star), and the Polices "Walking on the moon".
But....even if you're not Anita Ward, which track rings your bell (and that of your audiences?).
