UK POP CHART HISTORY - JULY 1972

This week's highest new entry comes in at a rather lowly number 17. The Supremes enjoy their second top 20 placing of the year with 'Automatically Sunshine'. As with its predecessor 'Floy Joy', the track was both written and produced by Motown legend, Smokey Robinson.
Unfortunately for The Supremes, this will be their last single (other than a re-issue of 'Baby Love' in 1974) to achieve a placing in the UK top 20.
