This set of songs is not really setting me alight. If I remember the middle round of 70s No.1s was less than inspiring There are some good songs there but probably just enough to fill a top 5. Shocked that something as original as Loving You got junked so early

@Great Uncle Bulgaria I think you have used an old list Miracle has already gone

I think there was a drag queen with that name on one series of RPDG

With the exception of Harry Belafonte all the hits so far this year have been people making their first appearance on the list

Just to be clear, when Don McLean sang of the day the music died he was clearly being prescient and envisioning the day Mariah Carey and Westlife got to No.1 with a cover version of Against All Odds

I seriously don't have a problem with the licence fee. It is approximately comparable with a Netflix subscription (at the moment) but Netflix carries no news or sport and doesn't have radios 1-4, local radio and the online educational presence. Those people who will take any opportunity to have a go at the BBC have their own agenda and if they get rid of it your Sky and Netflix subscriptions will be going up If they remove the licence fee then it should be funded out of taxation. However the licence fee gives it a modest level of independence (which has been compromised) but I am in favour of non-commercial national broadcaster

I must admit I am enjoying this more than the OOs No.1s
