Did you know that Th...Sounds like a fabulous trip.<br /><br />Did you know that The Sound of Music was so popular in Britain that the soundtrack was the best-selling album in Britain in 1965, 1966 and 1968? It was pipped in 1967 by some album called Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, which was also the biggest-selling album of the decade. The Sound of Music was the second-biggest.<br /><br />Looking at this Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_albums_of_the_1960s_in_the_United_Kingdom it's surprising to see that the best-selling albums of the 1960s were largely soundtracks and Beatles albums. And taking the Top 20 best sellers as a whole, they can be broken into 4 categories: soundtracks (3 albums in the Top 20), The Beatles (10 of the Top 20), Simon & Garfunkel (3 of the Top 20) and the rest. At No.20 was The Black and White Minstrel Show. So not everything from the Sixties was cool, man!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329952935480830193.post-57610331256008104812015-11-10T09:59:21.393+00:002015-11-10T09:59:21.393+00:00What a great trip, I'm singing along in my hea...What a great trip, I'm singing along in my head.
