Straight into the top twenty at number 2 this week is the latest 45 from Slade. With two chart toppers already under their belt, Slade's manager, Chas Chandler, was hoping to pull off something really special with this release. The plan was to get the record straight to the top spot on its first week of release. This was regarded as almost impossible at the time, having been achieved only five times previously. Despite this, however, Chandler managed to secure a pre-release performance of the single on Top Of The Pops (something that was totally unheard of at the time), along with relentless radio play.
Unfortunately, the plan didn't quite pull off.
Better luck next time... maybe?
