Rat Trap V Diane

I know this has been pointed out B4. But I did a bit of looking into this as to who was the 1st Irish band to have a number one in the UK charts, and trust me on this one it's The Boomtown Rats. The Bachelors song Diane did get to number one But only in the record retailer chart. And reached number two in the UK singles chart. I rest my case. Long live the Rats the best band by a mile to come out of dear old wee Ireland. To be sure.

Well don't mind admitting I'm confused. Guinness Singles, which as far as I'm concerned mirrors official UK charts, states Diane was a #1

It was an official number one, though it is possible that it wasn't number one in all the charts. Charts didn't always agree, and it's possible Rat Trap wasn't number one in all of them. Rat Trap was only #2 in Ireland.

 Trust me most of the songs that got into the irish charts in the 60s70s and 80s where sh?t. Its even a wonder that the rats where aloud to be released in the South  as the goverment of the day could not stand them

Excuse the long post, but this supports your argument. Diane peaked at #2 in the NME chart which was the most widely acknowledged chart at the time, but the Record Retailer chart was considered most accurate.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NME_number-one_singles_of_the_1970s

The NME number ones make a case for God Save The Queen, Denis and The Ballroom Blitz being number one and Rat Trap topping the chart for three weeks. So  I am all for adopting them.  Sadly should we do that Rat Trap ain't the first punk/new wave number one.

17 - 41 - 50 - Kathy Kirby - Secret Love

I know most of these songs and they were all recorded before I was born.  Some are real bonafide classics (Baby I Love You, Nadine and I Only Want To Be With You stand out), but three versions of Anyone Who Had a Heart is two too many and it's sad that Dionne Warwick's original and far superior version was stuck in the lower reaches of the charts whilst the squawking Cilla Black topped the charts no. If I looked at any top fifty chart from the last ten years, I'd probably only know about one in ten.

I generally work on the basis that nothing of any note happened until after my birth in 1964.  I still have it over my son that I was alive when man walked on the moon and England won the World Cup

I know most of these songs and they were all recorded before I was born.  Some are real bonafide classics (Baby I Love You, Nadine and I Only Want To Be With You stand out), but three versions of Anyone Who Had a Heart is two too many and it's sad that Dionne Warwick's original and far superior version was stuck in the lower reaches of the charts whilst the squawking Cilla Black topped the charts no. If I looked at any top fifty chart from the last ten years, I'd probably only know about one in ten.

I generally work on the basis that nothing of any note happened until after my birth in 1964.  I still have it over my son that I was alive when man walked on the moon and England won the World Cup

 REALLY England won the world cup Never new that

 Yes.  The football one.  In 1966.  Not that many people are old enough to remember it.
