Last year they carried out yet another rewriting of history - claiming that 1952 was the first "official" chart. BALDERDASH! The first singles chart in 1952 was from New Musical Express - and the first "official" chart was published in February 1969.
That is true. But I suppose the OCC is just referring to their own version of "history". It's more accurate to refer to the "NME chart". From the mid-50s, with multiple magazine charts, until 1969, it's rather questionable to now have one chart being regarded as "definitive". When talking about a hit record from the 60s, this is particularly pertinent. |
