Various Artists
Motown Chartbusters Vol. 6
At No.19, on the “The Top 50 U.K. Albums Chart” on the day I am born, is “Motown Chartbusters Vol. 6”.
The 2nd Various Artist compilation…
…to appear on this UK Album Chart and it’s another Motown release. This time it’s the 6th volume of the enduring “Motown Chartbusters” series.
The sixth instalment of this series featured a stack of current hits, and when you’ve got original hit singles such as Ï’m Still Waiting” by Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder’s blazing rendition of the Beatles’ “We Can Work It Out”, The Elgins’ “Heaven Must Have Sent You” and The Temptations’ ”Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)” it’s bound to be a sure fire winner.
It entered the UK Album Chart straight in at No.2 on the 17th of October 1971 and stayed in the Top 10 for the next 9 weeks.
Even as we join it this week, it’s still hovering around the Top 20 but the next few weeks will see it slip further away until it takes a break for a couple of weeks after the 22nd of April 1972.
It came back for a 6 week stay which lasted from May until mid-June and after another quick break it will be back for a week, in time to see June turn to July, then another week in the middle of that month before spending one final week in the middle of August.
I’ve created my own separate playlists for Sides 1 and 2 of this LP with the original track sequencing order for the U.K. release.
