It looks like we've given up on Marian's champagne "answer".


I stumbled across this trivia on Sunday, so try to guess the question for this answer.

45 years ago this week: 25.11.62 - 1.12.62

No idea Paul, although of course, the 1st December was Matt's Birthday. Maybe some connection??

My answer was - the Monro family once had two dogs called Moet and Chandon.
Marian :wink:

Those are cute names for the Monro family dogs!

Hint for mine: the UK charts.

Could it be that "Softly As I Leave You" entered the charts Paul?

Or anything to do with The Beatles :wink:
"My Tears Will Fall Now That You're Gone,
I Can't Help But Cry, But I Must Go On" :(

Wrong on both accounts. It has nothing to do with SAILY or the Beatles. It pertains to a song that I like much better than SAILY.

Your close Marian (and have the right song), but not exactly correct. Please try again. :)

Hi Paul,
I guess it's "enter" and "chart position" that are wrong...
I found varying chart positions for "My Love and Devotion" from 39, thru 37, 33, to 29 :? :?

www.everyhit.com - an interesting website I found anyway!

Marian :wink:

I have used the everyhit website for years. It's a great resource. :) I wish there was a similar website for US charts, but I've never found anything. :(

The actual question is:

When did My Love And Devotion peak at #29 on the UK Singles Chart?

Here is the specific information about its chart run:

MY LOVE AND DEVOTION (BY MATT MONRO) Parlophone (R4954)
Date Entered: 10.11.1962
Peak : 29
Chart Run: 49-39-34-29-47--> 5 Weeks
