UK POP CHART HISTORY - MARCH 1972

The highest new entry this week comes courtesy of more ex-Zombies. The band Argent make their first of only two visits to the UK top twenty this week with their rock classic 'Hold Your Head Up'.
The four piece band included two ex-Zombies in the form of Rod Argent (Keyboards) and cousin Jim Rodford (Bass). The song was co-written by Rod Argent and Chris White (yet another ex-Zombie).
