also, the Chambers Brothers - Time has come today, from The time has come (albeit released as a much shorter radio friendly edit, but isn't that what singles are about)
Was No 1 Song in Heaven the first single off the sparks album?

OK, I made that last one up! Seriously though, the other four were all first-released singles, as were two of my previous three. "Flash Light" I'm not sure about - it may have been the second or even the third single.

I think "Love Her Madly" was the first single off of L.A. Woman, but I can't guarantee it.

I came THIS close to offering Dexys' Too-Rye-Ay, but "Come On Eileen" wasn't actually its first UK single, and more shockingly, I find that it wasn't even the last track on some copies!?! *brain melts*

Interesting. Is "Sour Times" not the most popular Portishead song in the UK, though? In the US, if you know nothing else by Portishead, you know that song.

This album spawned no less than seven charters.
Travelin' BandWho'll Stop The RainUp Around The BendRun Through The JungleLookin' Out My Back DoorLong As I Can See The LightI Heard It Through The Grapevine But I always thought Lookin' Out My Back Door was the first to be released as a single, granted with Long As I Can See The Light as a b side, which later got it's own airplay. I could be totally wrong though, just going from memory on this one. Great album!
