The
Fivepenny Piece In The Charts
For
all their high profile on TV, The Fivepenny Piece
never really achieved much in the way of chart success.
None of their singles charted at all, and only two
of their albums reached the album charts. In saying
that, King Cotton did managed to break into the Top
10 of the UK Albums charts, this is no mean feat.
I
have gleaned the definitive statistics from the excellent
chartstats.com
website:

The
Fivepenny Piece's second album charted in 24th
March 1973 at #37, and dropped straight out
the week after. |

reached dropping to #22 the week after. King
Cotton stayed in the album charts
for 5 weeks in all. |
