I Don't Like Mondays has reached 175 in the Virgin all time top 500 and Rat Trap no 470.

Mondays beats literally hundreds of serious classics, which still get played regularly. Doesn't that show those who control play lists that people still do want to listen to the Rats?

oh dear the albums in the US oh well they did pretty well in the UK. Thanks for posting that list, it's a good reminder, I'd forgotten many of the exact chart positions of some of those.

ArrGee, how did you find that? Google? What was your search? I'd like to find that for Germany (where, for example, Banana Republic went to number one - because, as Bob said, "the Germans thought it was about Germany", lol!).
