KC and the Sunshine Band UK Chart Positions
These are now almost complete, I just need to find the first part of "Sound your Funky Horn's" progress up the charts.
The sources used for these stats are
I can't find any old complete BBC charts anywhere on the web which is a susrpise, as the WWW is ideal for that sort of thing! So the sources used on the above may not be the BBC charts. But it gives a good idea of the progress of each single.
Notes. NE means new chart entry Up means single is going up charts. Down means going down. NM means no move. There is one instance of a single dropping out of the charts then coming back as a re-entry.
