The New Seekers reign at Number 1 ends, with T.Rex topping the charts with "Telegram Sam", Neil Reid can cou nt himself unluck not to make number 1, as it has been around the Top 3 for a few weeks, a song I have never heard of by the way. The Chi-Lites continue to rise in the charts and Don McLean's "American Pie" enters the Top 20.
