The Singles Chart of 18th April 1971

April 1971 marked the first anniversary of Paul's statement that he was leaving The Beatles.

During those 12 months the music landscape had changed. The loss of The Beatles was old news. T-Rex were literary riding high in the singles chart with Ride A White Song. Rod The Mod - Rod Stewart was about to hit number one in both the singles and album charts simultaneously in the UK and USA with Maggie May from his album Every Picture Tells A Story. Albums were now big business for record companies, as Led Zeppelin would prove. Plus Slade, Sweet and of course the legend that is David Bowie were waiting in the wings. Ready to dominate the early 70's charts.

So was the solo work of John, Paul, George and Ringo relevant to music fans of the 1970's?

In this weeks weeks episode we try to answer that question, By looking at the UK singles chart of 18 April 1971.
