Top of The Pops (UK Edition)

This weeks Top of the Pops segment highlights the Top 5 Singles on the UK Top 40 singles chart on March 15th 1975. 
The chart was highlight by a couple of remakes, one very strange and one that was the biggest seller of the year..

Here are the Top 5 Singles

5 - The Secrets That You Keep - Mud
Not too far removed from having the top selling UK single of 1974, the glam band MUD was back with another top 5 hit.


4 - Only You Can - Fox


3 - Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me) - Cockney Rebel
A former #1 single dropping down 2 spots this week


2 - Bye Bye Baby - The Bay City Rollers
Before they were launched to superstardom in the US this scottish group was roaring up the charts this week jumping 6 spots with a remake of this Four Seasons classic from 1965.   This would hit the top and stay there for six weeks and become the biggest selling single in the UK for 1975


1 - IF - Telly Savalas
This bizarre remake of the Bread hit single from 1971, which didnt chart in the UK, hit the top for KOJAK star Telly Savalas.  This would be the 2nd of 2 consecutive weeks at the top for the bald talk/singer.
