Number 41 is "It's only Love by Tony Blackburn"

Number 35 is " Obla-Di-Obla-Da by Marmelade"
Number 32 is " Sanctus from Missa Luba by Troubadours Du Roi Baudoin"
The rest is correct!

Tony Blackburn shared position 40 with It's Only Love but OCC didn't include it. That's why this top 50 chart only has 49 entries. I'm sure Tony would be pleased to know.

Things went bonkers around this time when the British Market Research Bureau (BMRB) was commissioned by the BBC to compile what they regarded as the official chart from 15th February. OCC haven't implemented the changeover very well, but that's probably to be expected when, (as I write this), in the very first sentence of their "History of the Official Charts" and "Fifties", they say the first ever chart was compiled by the New Music Express. I collected and later subscribed to the NME from day one and it was always called New Musical Express.
