Введение
Официальный хит-парад синглов в Великобритании (UK Singles Chart) – официальный музыкальный чарт Соединенного Королевства. В 1970-х годах он составлялся еженедельно Британским бюро маркетинговых исследований (BMRB) от имени британской звукозаписывающей индустрии с недельным перерывом на Рождество. Стоимость выборки составляла приблизительно 52 000 фунтов стерлингов, магазины выбирались случайным образом и предоставляли данные о продажах, зарегистрированных до закрытия в субботу. Данные компилировались в понедельник и передавались в BBC во вторник для объявления в дневном шоу Джонни Уокера и последующей публикации в журнале Record Retailer (переименованном в Music Week в 1972 году). Однако BMRB часто испытывало трудности с получением полных данных о продажах по почте. Забастовка почтовых служб в 1971 году вынудила собирать данные по телефону, но этого сочли недостаточным для национального чарта, и к 1973 году BMRB использовал мотокурьеров для сбора информации о продажах. Песня "Mull of Kintyre" стала самым продаваемым хитом десятилетия и не была превзойдена по физическим продажам до 1984 года, когда Band Aid выпустила "Do They Know It's Christmas?". В 1973 году была создана Британская фонографическая индустрия (BPI), которая начала сертифицировать продажи записей, достигая определенных порогов: "серебряный" (250 000 копий), "золотой" (500 000 копий) и "платиновый" (1 000 000 копий).

The UK Singles Chart is the official record chart in the United Kingdom. In the 1970s, it was compiled weekly by the British Market Research Bureau (BMRB) on behalf of the British record industry with a one week break each Christmas. The sampling cost approximately £52,000 and shops were randomly chosen and submitted figures for sales taken up to the close of trade on Saturday. The data was compiled on Monday and given to the BBC on Tuesday to be announced on Johnnie Walker's afternoon show and later published in Record Retailer (rebranded Music Week in 1972). However, the BMRB often struggled to have the full sample of sales figures returned by post. The 1971 postal strike meant that data had to be collected by telephone but this was deemed inadequate for a national chart, and by 1973 the BMRB was using motorcycle couriers to collect sales figures. "Mull of Kintyre" was also the biggest selling song of the decade and was not surpassed in physical sales until 1984 when Band Aid released "Do They Know It's Christmas?". In 1973, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) was formed and they began certifying the sales of records at certain thresholds: "silver" (250,000 units), "gold" (500,000 units), and "platinum" (1,000,000 units).

Миллионные продажи и платиновые записи
В апреле 1973 года Британская фонографическая индустрия начала классифицировать синглы и альбомы по количеству проданных экземпляров. Наивысший порог – "платиновая пластинка", которая тогда присуждалась синглам, проданным тиражом более 1 000 000 экземпляров. Тринадцать записей получили платиновый статус в 1970-х годах, а две песни, занимавшие первое место в 1970-х, были сертифицированы как платиновые в последующее десятилетие. Песня Slade "Merry Xmas Everybody" впоследствии была продана тиражом более миллиона копий, но в 1985 году, после учета продаж ее переиздания. Две другие песни, первоначально выпущенные в 1970-х годах, стали платиновыми и достигли миллионных продаж, но обе возглавили чарты в последующем десятилетии после переиздания: "Imagine" Джона Леннона, которая заняла шестое место в 1975 году, но достигла первого места в 1981 году после смерти Леннона в конце предыдущего года, и "(Is This The Way To) Amarillo" Тони Кристи, которая заняла восемнадцатое место в 1971 году, но позже возглавила чарты после переиздания в качестве благотворительного сингла в 2005 году. Пять песен, занимавших первое место – "Dancing Queen" ABBA, "Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick" Ian Dury and The Blockheads, "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony)" The New Seekers, "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" Julie Covington и "Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)" Pink Floyd – превысили отметку в миллион проданных копий после введения цифровых загрузок в 2004 году.
In April 1973, the British Phonographic Industry began classifying singles and albums by the number of units sold. The highest threshold is "platinum record" and was then awarded to singles that sold over 1,000,000 units. Thirteen records were classified platinum in the 1970s and two number one songs from the 1970s were classified as platinum in the subsequent decade. Slade's "Merry Xmas Everybody" subsequently sold over one million copies but in 1985, after sales from its re release were included. Two other songs originally released in the 1970s became platinum and become million selling records but both were number ones in a subsequent decade after being re released: "Imagine" by John Lennon charted at number six in 1975 but reached number one in 1981 following Lennon's death at the end of the previous year and Tony Christie's "(Is This The Way To) Amarillo" reached number eighteen in 1971 but later took top spot after being re released as a charity single in 2005. Five number ones – ABBA's "Dancing Queen", Ian Dury and The Blockheads' "Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick", The New Seekers' "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony)", Julie Covington's "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" and Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)" – passed the million sales mark following the introduction of music downloads in 2004.
