Pick of the Pops - 17th April 1971
Mr and Mrs R. Harris contacted the Bay Magazine. This April, they will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. They wanted to know who was number one at the time of their wedding, 17th April 1971. Love was certainly in the air!
The top 40 chart aired on the 11th April. The top 3 songs remain the same from the previous week’s chart. T-Rex, charts at no.1, with Hot Love, this their second release.
