* *At the end of the show Fluff read out the new Top 20 that was played in full the following week.*

If you listened to Pick Of The Pops on Sunday 27th Dec 1970, Alan played the top 50 best sellers of 1970 in 2 hours flat, and didn`t miss any out! But on Tuesday 22nd Dec, at 12.30pm he revealed this Christmas Chart, which he rundown along with Sounds Incorporated and "At The Sign Of The Swinging Cymbal". Of course between 61 - 66, he used a version of this by Brian Fahey.

You won`t find this chart in the Guinness Book Of Hit Singles. They are too lazy to find it, but it was the Official one used by Radio One. Dave Edmunds (always nicking other people`s songs)! Jimi Hendrix died. Dorothy Squires was married to Roger Moore. Top Of The Pops used CCS and "Whole Lotta Love", as it`s theme.
