Uk SINGLE CHART!!?
its a tradition,,
Reply:Nowadays the single chart is not as important as it use to be. However in the 1960s and 1970s it was something people always watched to see what music going up to number one. Programmes like Top of the Pops really made it popular. Have a look at http://www.bbc.co.uk/totp/history/ for more details

Reply:singles used to be important because if you had a single in charts you were made because people used to buy them and if you liked artist you would probably buy album.i have got albums with the only record i like was the one that was in singles chart
