A fact from List of NME number-one singles of the 1970s appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 8 September 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
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..... 82.6.134.233 (talk) 12:51, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
