Are we sure? Can we verify this ?Frelke 20:47, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Chart info

Your article says that Horslips had a no. 1 hit in Germany 1973. Well, this seems not to be the case. In my German Chart Singles 1956-1980 book there are in fact no entries at all by Horselips. (And I strongly believe that this is the only chart book covering Germany in this period). As I got a whole bunch of chart books at home I looked up Horslips in all of them, and found out the following:

Horslips had NO ENTRIES in the following countries/periods:

Germany-Singles 1956-2000 Germany-Albums 1962-1986 Holland-Singles 1965-1997 Holland-Albums 1969-1997 Switzerland-Singles 1968-2000 Norway-Singles 1958-1993 Norway-Albums 1963-1993
