List of number-one singles in Rhodesia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rhodesia was an unrecognised state in southern Africa from 1965 to 1979, equivalent in territory to modern Zimbabwe. This article lists number-one singles on Rhodesia's music chart, the Lyons Maid Hits of the Week, broadcast by Radio 1.[1][2] Its rankings were based on weekly sales.[2] In the late 1960s and early 1970s the chart included both singles and LPs, but later only singles were included.[1]

1965

[edit]

Rhodesia declared independence on 11 November 1965. Previously, it was the British colony of Southern Rhodesia.
