New to the Top 20 this week was Creedence Clearwater Revival's final single to reach the UK Top 10: Up Around the Bend. Written by the band's lead singer John Fogerty and included on the album Cosmo's Factory, the track would eventually peak at Number 3. It was also a major hit in the US, where it topped out at Number 4.



Returning to the Top 20 at the basement position is the single by Butterscotch: Don't You Know (She Said Hello). It would prove to be the vocal group's only hit, reaching a best chart position of Number 17 a few weeks back



Until next time...
