What was the number one song in the UK on 10th April 1968?

Sir Cliff was number one for 2 weeks with Congratulations.

Congratulations was Cliff’s entry to the Eurovision Song Contest in 1968 and it was such a strong favourite to win that the British press posed the question “What will come second to Congratulations?”. Alas, it was not meant to be as it was Cliff that came second, losing out by only un point to Spain’s Massiel and La La La (there was some controversy that the voting was rigged and Sir Cliff should have been the rightful winner on the night). It’s a fun pop song, that obviously should have won Eurovision, but you know at the end of the day it’s Cliff Richard, so you won’t find me listening to it again any time soon.
