Top of The Pops - UK Edition
In the previous post I have the top 10 singles for this week in 1972 on the Billboard Hot 100, now I would like to use my Top of the Pops countdown for the same week on the UK Top chart.
August 26th 1972 UK Top 5
5 - Sea Side Shuffle - Terry Dactyl and the Dinosaurs
a novelty band created for the group Brett Marvin and the Thunderbolts to promote this single. They took it to #2 the week before.
4 - All The Young Dudes - Mott the Hoople
Written by David Bowie this single was on its way to peaking at #3.
3 - Silver Machine - Hawkwind
Peaking at #3 is the hard rock group Hawkwind.
They were precursor to the punk scene in England and had a "psychadelic space opera" theme to their albums.
2 - You Wear It Well - Rod Stewart
Rod the Mod on his way to #1 next week with this single from his album "Never A Dull Moment".
1 - School's Out - Alice Cooper
The only #1 song in the UK and the US for Alice Cooper
He spent three weeks a the top and would make it to #7 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Welcome to My Nightmare
Today in 1975 Alice Cooper was awarded a Gold Record for his first "solo" LP "Welcome To My Nightmare". Released in February 1975 the album peaked on the Billboard Album chart at #5 the week of June 21st.
Previous Alice Cooper LPs were band efforts but this time it was just Alice and several studio musicians putting it together.
He released 3 singles off the album, Department of Youth (which peaked on the Hot 100 at #67), the title track which made it to #45 and "Only Women Bleed" which made it to #12.
