The Article points out that God Save The Queen by the Sex Pistols, was a NME No.1 in 1977. It claims |
|||
that the BMRB deliberately made it impossible for it to reach No.1 in their 'Official' Chart. It got |
|||
to No.2 in that Chart. No-one ever mentions that another UK Sales Chart - Melody Maker - also did not |
|||
have it at No.1. It only reached No.5 in their Chart. That's 2 out of 3 UK Sales Charts, that did not |
|||
have it at No.1. It looks more & more like reaching No.1 in NME was the exception, & not it reaching |
|||
No.2 in BMRB. So the 'Cheated out of a BMRB No.1' claims really do not hold up. Also, the Sex Pistols |
|||
Album - Never Mind The Bollocks - 'only' reached No.2 in both NME & Melody Maker. Ironically, it was |
|||
a No.1 Album in BMRB's Chart. Yet I never hear people moaning that NME & Melody Maker 'cheated' the |
|||
Group out of a No.1 Album, in 1977. Always, I hear claims that BMRB 'chested' them out of a No.1 |
|||
Single, that Year. Pretty hypocritical whinging by the BMRB critics..... [[Special:Contributions/82.6.134.233|82.6.134.233]] ([[User talk:82.6.134.233|talk]]) 12:51, 31 October 2015 (UTC) |
