Charts
Paul Burnett reveals this week s new Top 40 Discs
 * Pink Floyd go to no.01 in the UK with their single Another Brick in the Wall (Pt.2), knocking The Police and Walking On The Moon off the top spot after just one week. The Pink Floyd no.1 is significant as it was the first, and last, single by the group to get to the top and was also the final no.1 of the 1970s.
 * The Sugarhill Gang are up to no.3, from no.12, with their 'rap' single Rapper's Delight. New entries include singles by ABBA, Chic, David Bowie, Mike Oldfield and Motorhead.
 * Pink Floyd and the Police also battle it out in the Album charts although hits collections by Rod Stewart and ABBA still dominate.
