Many thanks for the new page.
Possible can of worms - how to treat samples, remixes, mashups? Think fairly much they've been left off the covers page, but struck me that DJ Vinyl Junkie's "Can't Forget" (a big Peel fave) samples the Mariah Carey vocal of her UK #1 "Without You", which was in fact itself a cover of the Nilsson original (also a #1).
The Peel play isn't credited to Mariah Carey, so can't really say her "cover version" of a #1 was played, but DJ Vinyl Junkie didn't "cover" Mariah Carey, as I understand it.
Any thoughts?

Hi. Interesting idea - perhaps create a new section or even new page? I suppose that would depend on how many entries there are or could potentially be. I really wouldn't know what to call it!

What about the poor old No.2s???[]
Getting some strange ideas about this Official Charts list too........... ;)
You were right about that can of worms!!

My thought is not to take things on the chart covers further than we have now. And not do anything on the samples, remixes, mashups front.

I agree with Steve. Otherwise pages would be filled with Number 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.. number one cover versions. Also the samples, remixes, would be just too much.

OK fair enough. I started looking at the "No.2s" vis à vis Peel and there are quite a few. Perhaps I'll just keep the list for myself and put it on my own page without any linkage ... As you were!
