There’s pre-Beatles and post Beatles charts on this edition of Richard Green's Vintage Chart Show.

Does that give you a clue ? The first chart brings Bobby Vee, Kenny Ball and Nat King Cole your way , whilst the second hour has Queen, The Jam, and Blondie. Any further idea? OK- it’s 1961 and 1979 in focus this weekend. All the hits, big and small, from the Top 40 Singles Chart and a glimpse at the Album chart too.
