Celebrating their third week at the top of the UK charts this week in 1972 were The New Seekers with "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" a song that was simultaneously riding high in the American Top 10. Not a lot in this week's chart that excited me, actually, quite a few songs I don't remember at all, especially the track "Horse With No Name" by America!
