#OnThisDay #chartfact 24.12.78 Boney M’s Mary’s Boy Child/Oh My Lord tops the UK chart for Christmas 1978. The group recently became the first Western act to be invited by a Soviet leader (Leonid Brezhnev) to perform in the USSR. While in Moscow’s Red Square, they recorded parts of the video for this hit. It was originally a festive chart-topper for Harry Belafonte in 1957, making it the first tune to become a Christmas no 1 twice. At 24.12.14, Boney M’s version is the UK’s 11th-biggest-selling single ever, with 1.85 million+ copies sold. #UKTop3 #OnThisDay 24.12.78 1 Boney M, Mary’s Boy Child/Oh My Lord youtube/watch?v=xGqXy_iD4kc 2 @villagepeople, YMCA 3 Barron Knights, A Taste Of Aggro
