RCA Singles 1
Prior to 1969 there was no official UK singles chart.
Today the charts from "Record Retailer" are thought of as official.
However these are all the major British charts at that time:
NME: New Musical Express
RR: Record Retailer
MM: Melody Maker
DME: Disc & Music Echo
TP: Top Pops
"I'm A Believer", "A Little Bit Me..." & "Daydream Believer"
earned Silver Disc awards (sales of 250,000 records).
Only "A Little Bit.." was recognized in 1967 although all 3 sold
enough records upon release to qualify.
