My Sweet Lord Re-release Will Reach Number One

[HMVNipper]

The re-released George Harrison single should reach number one on Sunday,
according to midweek sales figures.

HMV say My Sweet Lord is outselling the next highest new entry - Pink's Get
The Party Started - by 3500 copies.

Proceeds from the Harrison release will be donated to the Material World
Charitable Foundation.

(I should add, this is #1 in the UK...)

This will mean that Chubby Checker won't be the only artist to have the same song go to #1 twice with himself singin the song

I believe that normally BBC Ceefax reports the new Top 40 sunday evenings on page 565 from round 18.00 UK time, but prior to that reports about the new #1 appear at page 540 already from Friday (today).
