Donny Osmond is number 1 for a 4th week in a row, holding off Dr Hook & The Medicine Show, who climb to number 2 with "Sylvia's Mother". I really liked the Hawkwind track "Silver Machine" and that climbs from number 20 to number 12. Alice Cooper leaps from number 17 to number 6, with "School's Out. A great week for Bowie to, re climbs from number 18 to number 10.

The instrumental "Popcorn" by Hot Butter enters the top 20 at number 19, a very infectious track. It is also a good week for Terry Dactyl & The Dinosaurs, who climb from number 12 to number 5 and The Partridge family, who move into the top 5 at number 4.
