UK POP CHART HISTORY - FEBRUARY 1972

Marc does it again. That's three out of four number ones for T.Rex in less than a year.
One consolation for Neil though is that he gets to spend a further seven weeks in the top twenty before slipping off into eternal obscurity.
In at number 17 this week is a rather catchy tune from an unknown American singer songwriter called Don McLean.
