Having secured the No. 1 spot the previous week, Chicory Tip's "Son Of My Father" continued as the best selling single in the UK this week in 1972. 

Further down the chart, several acts were lining up to try and knock the group off the summit, among them Don McLean with "American Pie, Nilsson's "Without You" and the highest new entry in the Top 20, Michael Jackson's solo debut,"Got To Be There".

I remember "Blue Is The Colour" by the Chelsea Football team, one of the first football club chart hits! I liked The Sweet, however, I don't remember the track "Poppa Joe".
