UK POP CHART HISTORY - DECEMBER 1972

And so we come to the final chart of 1972.
There's no new number 1 this week.
There are no new entries this week either.
In fact, we have twenty non-movers in the final chart of the year.
Okay, the fact is, there is no final chart of the year.
Back in the 1970's, a Christmas holiday meant a Christmas holiday. All shops were shut for most of the week, and the people responsible for compiling the sales data that gave us our weekly chart were...
On Holiday!
Thus, the previous week's chart was republished.
