Donny Osmond is still at number 1 and so far has held off the competition, to register a 5th week at the top of the charts, that said, Alice Cooper is a real threat moving up from number 6 to number 2, with "Schools Out".

Just one new entry into the top 20 this week and that is The Electric Light Orchestra with "10538 Overture", Hawkwind's "Silver Machine" rises 5 places to number 7 and Hot Butter's "Popcorn" moves up 8 places to number 9.
