The charts record for Sandie Shaw should also include her version of Rose Garden which attained No41 - a breaker in March 1971 and was in the Top 50 for three weeks. This is a serious omission and needs to be rectified.

There is no error here. For a short time in Feb/March 1971, there was only a top 40. Sandie's Rose Garden MAY have been in the breakers, but there was no official 41 during that period, so the OCC has (for once) got this right.

I have to say that although Stuart is correct technically, the better way of looking at this matter is to say that as the information which Philip cites is in existence, then it should be utilized now. The whole point of historical records for the charts is that they should contain all relevant information. If more should come to light, then it should be entered in the records, as has happened with the charts in the 1960s which were not published in the press, and also with the LP charts that appeared in "Record Mirror" from 1956. The information concerning "Rose Garden" (and the other affected records) which is in the public domain is specific regarding chart positions and weeks in the 41-50 section, so it is based on evidence of returns, not merely speculation. Therefore, Sandie Shaw should be credited with the three weeks for "Rose Garden"; and the same applies for the other records which peaked in the 41-50 section during these weeks.
