OMG, it was "there!,I've said it again" by Bobby Vinton in the u.s.

And "I wanna hold your hand" the Beatles in the u.K.

Well, they aren't bad songs, of course.

Quite a lot of "love" here (It was two days before Valentine's Day):

Petula Clark - My Love in the US:


and The Love Affair - Everlasting Love in the UK:


I'd be more likely to have the second in my collection, but neither is actually there.

Search "rosemary" in Media Monkey: yup, that's there, but unfortunately BOTW wasn't on PSR&T, so they don't both come up in one search.

"Smooth Operator" is a classic, and still a fantastic chill-out tune.

Also, she's 57 this year, but still just as gorgeous as ever.

That one I've not heard before. Bit of a disconnect between the song and the... costume.

I thought it was mildly funny that our song titles matched for the US release though obviously of different years/months/artists. That second one though (UK), there's a lot going on there

I looked up the band, Wizzard, and apparently that guy is the co-founder of ELO, which makes sense, as the song and overall presentation made me think of ELO crossed with ABBA and Rob Zombie.

You could enter any date you like. You enter a dozen of them, they've no way of knowing if any is actually true. If you're young enough, you get three or four charts, maybe more. And if you were born before '53, you only get the US one, as UK hadn't invented music or charts until that year.
