UK POP CHART HISTORY - JUNE 1972

This week's highest new entry at number 13 is Chicory Tip's 'What's Your Name'. The band were obviously hoping to repeat the success of their previous chart topper 'Son Of My Father'. Unfortunately, this was not to be. This time around they get to spend just one week in the top 20. In May 1973, they'll enjoy just one more visit to the top 20 singles chart with 'Good Grief Christina', which will peak at a very modest number 17.
