"1976: The Sex Pistols recorded “God Save the Queen” at Wessex Studios in London. The song went on to reach number two on the U.K. Singles Chart the following year"
It actually outsold what the public was told was the number 1 that week or so,Rod Stewart was given number 1 slot,the Pistols record was banned from any air play on the BBC and other radio stations,a lot of stores refused to stock it but it sold like hotcakes.Some stores displayed Rod as number 1,others just had a blank space where the Pistols should have been,funny in some ways.
At the time the record was deemed as bad taste by the powers that be so had to be censored as much as possible,hence no number 1 slot.
John Lydon(Rotten)was stabbed and slashed not long after the record came out by some thugs in a car park.
Imagine that happening nowadays?Nobody would care about a record like that,how attitudes have changed but the records lyrics still ring true.
