I Don't Wanna Talk About It/The First Cut Is The Deepest

I Don't Wanna Talk About It/The First Cut Is The Deepest is a double A-side single recorded and released by Rod Stewart on 15 April 1977. The single featured the two titular songs and remained at the top for four weeks initially replacing replacing Deniece Willams' Free and eventually being replaced by Kenny Rogers' Lucille.

The single is also noted for remaining at no.1 during the week of Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee, apparently keeping the Sex Pistols' God Save the Queen at no.2."Note from Wikipedia: Despite spending four weeks at number one, Rod Stewart's 'I Don't Want to Talk About It'/'The First Cut Is the Deepest' was only placed at number 33 on the year-end chart for 1977, the lowest ranked number one single of the year, and lower than another of Stewart's singles, 'You're in My Heart', which only reached number three. Some chart-watchers claim to have evidence that an incorrect panel sale figure was applied to sales during the period that 'I Don't Want to Talk About It'/'The First Cut Is the Deepest' was out, resulting in a lower estimation of the single's total sales, and that the single should actually be placed inside the top fifteen year-end positions. However, this claim has never been verified by BMRB or any of the subsequent chart compilers."
