UK POP CHART HISTORY - JANUARY 1972

The top two spots remain unchanged for the third week running. The lovable leprechaun's chances of stealing the top spot are fading fast. With Marc Bolan's T.Rex storming in from nowhere at number 3 with their latest offering, it looks as if we're all about to be put out of our misery.
Surely he can't stave off the Mighty Marc... can he?
