Sex Pistols God Save The Queen For No1 on Queens Birthday – June 7th 2010
Posted on: Fri , Jan 01 12:00 AM
Posted By: Admin
Following the phenomenal success of the brilliant “Rage Against The Machine For Xmas No.1″ facebook group in 2009, a group has been started up for 2010 too.

The corporate system manipulated the charts in June 1977 to prevent this song being a no.1 as it would have been a major embarrassment to the queen’s silver jubilee celebrations. Let’s give another 2 fingered salute to the establishment and give a band who are a national treasure the debut chart topper they deserve. A no.1 in June would need a fraction of the sales of a Xmas no.1. 75,000 should do it.

 

Average Sales Figures UK Top 5 in 2008

Chart Pos Sales
1 - 71,540
2 - 36,018
3 - 30,162
4 - 26,427
5 - 23,467

From Wikipedia entry on The Sex Pistols: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_Pistols)

With the official UK record chart for Jubilee week about to be released, the Daily Mirror predicted that "God Save the Queen" would be number one. As it turned out, the record placed second, behind a Rod Stewart single in its fourth week at the top.

Many believed that the record had actually qualified for the top spot, but that the chart had been rigged to prevent a spectacle. McLaren later claimed that CBS Records, which was distributing both singles, told him that the Sex Pistols were actually outselling Stewart two to one. There is evidence that an exceptional directive was issued by the British Phonographic Institute, which oversaw the chart-compiling bureau, to exclude sales from record-company operated shops such as Virgin's for that week only.
