Unbelievably for an artist who released 6 billion singles, it took until this day in 1990 for Elton John to reach number one (as a solo artist*) in his native UK with 'Sacrifice'.
*thank you Nick Perry for pointing that out 🙂
On this day in 1963, Gerry and the Pacemakers hit the top spot in the UK with the unfeasibly catchy 'I Like It'. A song that a youthful Depeche Mode used to perform a cover version of back in 1980. Now that's one I'd like to hear.
