It Was Twenty Five Years Ago Today

... that ABBA's smashing Super Trouper was viciously removed from the Number 1 spot. Well not quite - but THINGS WERE PUT IN MOTION.

It took another week to get "Just Like Starting Over" subscribed to the shops. Only the brilliant xmo placing of granny-fave (the clue is in the song title) by "St Winifred's School Choir" managed to remove it after just one week! ahem, before the inevitable re-assault in quick succession of both the dreadful Imagine, and the follow up Woman. All the pain that Imagine can bring to the poptimists ear is nothing to the awful banality of Woman.

Coincidentally the following year is chock full of bloody marvellous number 1s.
