Fabulous! That was Pilot with their new release, Canada.

We've picked an appropriate number for you - Let's Stick Together.

In this weather, we can't do anything else, can we? Here's Bryan Ferry!

# And now the marriage vow is very sacred

# The man has put us together

# Now you ought to make it stick together

# Come on, come on and stick together

# You know we made a vow

# Not to leave one another ever

# But now you never miss your water 'til your well runs dry

# Come on now, baby Give our love a try

# And stick together

# Come on, come on Let's stick together

# You know we made a vow

# Not to leave one another ever

# Well, if you're stuck for a while Consider our child

# How can it be happy without its ma and pa?

# Please stick together

# Come on, come on Let's stick together

# You know we made a vow

# Not to leave one another ever

# Oh...

Bryan Ferry, Let's Stick Together. You may wonder why we're all wearing white suits tonight.

We're doubling as ice cream salesmen! Choc ices!

Here's Ruby Flipper and The Flasher!

MUSIC PLAYS

That's Ruby Flipper. That was called The Flasher.

It's been quite a long time since we had an EP in the chart.

Demis Roussos has done it with The Roussos Phenomenon and this is Forever and Ever.

# Ever and ever

# Forever and ever

# You'll be the one

# That shines in me

# Like the morning sun

# Ever and ever

# Forever and ever

# You'll be my dream

# My rainbow's end

# And the song I sing

# Take me far beyond

# Imagination

# You're my dream come true

# My consolation

Ah, lovely. That was Demis Roussos, an incredible man, a new entry at number 27 with Forever and Ever.

A lot of people were very sad when the New Seekers split up but they're back together again now.

It's so nice to have you back again, The New Seekers!

# It's so nice, nice, nice to have you home, home again

# And you're looking exactly just the way that you looked before

# It's so nice, nice, nice

# To have you home, home again

# And now that you're here I know you're gonna stay

# And never, ever gonna go away

# Any more

# Woke up this morning

# So glad to be alive

# I knew that this would be

# My lucky day

# Waited and wondered

# Just when you would arrive

# And counted all the hours you've been away

# Yes, today is gonna be my lucky day

# It's so nice, nice, nice

# To have you home, home again

# And you're looking exactly just the way you used to look before

# It's so nice, nice, nice

# To have you home, home again

# And now that you're here I know you're gonna stay

# You're never, ever gonna go away

# Any more

# Looked out the letter

# I've read so many times

# Now the day had really come at last

# And all of you saving all your nickels and your dimes

# But now our time was really coming fast

# We'd make up for everything that's passed

# It's so nice, nice, nice

# To have you home, home again

# And you're looking exactly just the way you used to look before

# It's so nice, nice, nice

# To have you home, home again

# And now that you're here I know you're gonna stay

# You're never ever gonna go away

# It's so nice, nice, nice

# To have you home, home again

# And you're looking exactly just the way you used to look before

# It's so nice, nice, nice

# To have you home, home again

# And now that you're here I know you're gonna stay

# You're never ever gonna go away

# It's so nice, nice, nice

# To have you home, home again

# And you're looking exactly just the way you used to look before

# It's so nice, nice, nice

# To have you home, home again... #

APPLAUSE

That was Osibisa, always a great, fun band. That was called Dance The Body Music.

Are you still there? You haven't expired? Just checking!

Here is a gentleman who is always welcome in Britain.

He's had solo hits in his own right and many, many hits with Paul Simon.

Here with a lovely song called I Believe When I Fall In Love It'll Be Forever is Art Garfunkel.

APPLAUSE

# Shattered dreams

# Worthless years

# Here am I encased inside an empty shell

# Life began

# Then was done

# Now I stare into a cold and empty well

# The many sounds that meet our ears

# The sights our eyes behold

# Will open up our merging hearts

# And feed our empty souls

# I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever

# I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever

# Without despair

# We will share

# And the joys of caring will not be replaced

# What has been

# Must never end

# And with the strength we have won't be erased

# When the truths of love are planted firm

# They won't be hard to find

# And the words of love I speak to you

# Will echo in my mind

# I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever

# I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever...

# I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever

# I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever

# I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever

# I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever

# I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever... #

APPLAUSE

What a beautiful song that really is -

Art Garfunkel and I Believe When I Fall In Love It'll Be Forever.

This week, we have a new number 1. The Wurzels have been toppled from the top of their haystack.

The group who have done it come from Liverpool.

With their first number 1, You To Me Are Everything, this is The Real Thing.

APPLAUSE

# Hmm, I would take the stars out of the sky for you

# Stop the rain from falling if you asked me to

# I'd do anything for you

# Your wish is my command

# I could move a mountain when your hand is in my hand

# Words could not express how much you mean to me

# There must be some other way to make you see

# If it takes my heart and soul

# You know I'd pay the price

# Anything that I possess I'd gladly sacrifice

# Oh, you to me are everything

# The sweetest song that I could sing, oh, baby

# Oh, baby

# To you I guess I'm just a clown

# Who picks you up each time you're down, oh, baby

# Oh, baby

# You give me just a taste of love

# To build my hopes upon

# You know you've got the power, girl, to keep me holding on

# So now you've got the best of me

# Come on and take the rest of me Oh, baby...

# Though you're close to me we seem so far apart

# Maybe given time you'll have a change of heart

# If it takes forever, girl, then I'm prepared to wait

# The day you give your love to me won't be a day too late

# Oh, you to me are everything

# The sweetest song that I could sing Oh, baby

# Oh, baby

# To you I guess I'm just a clown

# Who picks you up each time you're down, oh, baby

# Oh, baby

# You give me just a taste of love

# To build my hopes upon

# You know you've got the power, girl, to keep me holding on

# So now you've got the best of me

# Come on and take the rest of me Oh, baby...

-# You to me are everything

-You're the sweetest song that I could sing

-# Oh, baby

-Oh, baby

# You know I need you, baby

# You to me are everything The sweetest song that I could sing Oh, baby

-# You are everything to me

-Oh, baby

-# Can't you see?

-You to me are everything The sweetest song that I could sing

-# Oh, baby...

-You are everything

-Oh, baby

-Everything to me, yeah

-# You to me are everything

-You're the sweetest song that I could sing

-# Oh, baby

-Oh, baby

-# Oh, baby

-You know I need you, girl... #

APPLAUSE

I think it's absolutely fantastic. It's happened for the lads at last.

Number 1, well done! The Real Thing and You To Me Are Everything.

We'll leave you with The Beach Boys and Good Vibrations.

If you want to get good vibrations, try sitting on the washing machine after the show.

I'll see you on Radio One tomorrow at two. We'll be back next week for another Top Of The Pops. Ta-ta! Bye!
