I am hearing that on his deathbed Charlie Kirk received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

Years by UK No 1 Single 41/65: 1973 We're at the absolute peak of glam rock here in 1973, with no.1s from Slade, Wizard, The Sweet and Suzi Quarto. #musicsky (1/3)

Years by UK No.1 Single 42/65: 2014 I paused this thankless task for a few weeks. It's because of years like 2014. It was harrowing to listen to. There were 38 no.1s, and most were painfully dull. (1/4) #musicsky

Iain McGilp on how "the black disease" ravaged Glasgow 25 years ago and sent the city into a panic. www.glasgowbell.co.uk/how-the-blac...

"Within four days, they had details of 12 suspected cases with broad similarities, and four further deaths likely linked to the same cause. Something was killing Glasgow’s injecting drug users, and no one could be sure what it was or where it had come from."

Years by UK No.1 Single 43/65: 2015 The mid 2010s again, and another pretty nothing year in terms of No.1s, although our worst of the year stands out a mile. The year scored 4.83/10. #musicsky (1/3)

Years by UK No.1 Single 44/65: 2007 2007 scores 4.82/10. It starts and ends badly, with 4 1/10 songs, however it also features several extremely good no.1s, including 3 9/10s. Let's get the bad out the way. (1/5) #musicsky

Years by UK No.1 Single 45/65: 1990 A bit of a bizarre year for no.1s, scoring 4.82/10, in spite of having the 2 best no.1s of the entire decade. I'm actually calling a tie on the best no.1 of 1990. Let's get the bad stuff out the way first... (1/6) #musicsky

Years by UK No.1 Single 46/65: 1972 1972 has a pretty terrible reputation as year of novelty no.1s, however overall it's not as bad as what's come before, scoring 4.72/10. Some of the novelty tunes are bad, some probably better than you would think (1/3) #musicsky

Years By UK No.1 Single 47/65: 1961 I've moaned before about the early 1960s, but this is better. The lack of Cliff Richard and The Shadows might be a factor in my increased enjoyment of this year's no.1s. #musicsky (1/3)

Years By UK No.1 Single 48/65: 1992 4.67/10 Just 12, due to lengthy stays at no.1 for Shakespeare Sister (8wks) and Whitney Houston (10wks). I've no idea how this finished ahead of 1998, there is very little to like about 1992 #musicsky (1/4)

Years By UK No.1 Single 49/65: 1998 #musicsky I don't remember this era of music too fondly, but there's a few good things going on this year, which scores 4.66/10. It's a two way battle for best No.1 of the year, with Cornershop's "Brimful of Asha" narrowly losing out to... (1/4)

Years by UK No.1 Single 50/65: 2002 Into the top 50 best years of no.1s, with 2002, which scores 4.63/10. In the spirit of optimism I will note that there are several really good no.1 s this year #musicsky (1/5)

Years by UK No.1 Single 51/65: 1988 Very much the year the '80s pop bubble bursts. Things have been on a downward trajectory in the second half of the decade, and 1988 scores just 4.66/10. #musicsky (1/4)

Years by UK No.1 Single 52/65: 1993 One of those years that doesn't really feel like the '90s have started yet. There's not a lot especially good, and not a lot especially bad in 1993, which scored 4.6/10. Very much a year in search of an identity (1/3) #musicsky

Years by UK No.1 Single 53/65: 1962 The early '60s were a mystery to me before this, and it would have been no loss if they'd remained that way. 1962's scores 4.58/10. There's not much good though Ray Charles' "I Can't Stop Loving You" and the Tornadoes' "Telstar" are both quality. #musicsky (1/5)

Years by UK No.1 Single 54/65: 2010 Hurray - another year from the 2010s, scoring 4.54/10. Years in the 2010s were typically afflicted by a terrible X Factor/Britain's Got Talent winner - poor 2010 has 3, plus some other utter garbage. There are a couple of redeeming features. #musicsky (1/4)

Years by UK No.1 Single 55/65: 1977 The '70s is the last decade to getting a showing, with its worst year scoring 4.5/10. I scored 2 no.1s 8/10, Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" and Hot Chocolate's "So You Win Again", which I picked as my favourite (1/3) #musicsky youtu.be/te0yn-f8670?...

Years by UK No.1 Singles 56/66: 2001 I kind of feel bad that 2001 rounds out the 10 worst ever years of no.1 singles; there are several really good no.1s this year. However in the crap no.1 front, there is a bizarre trend which badly dents the year's score, dragging it down to 4.4/10 (1/5)

Years by UK No.1 Singles 57/65: 1991 Before I started this I would have guessed that 1991 would have been the worst year of no.1s ever, however as we have found out, there are several worse. It's still not a good year. It's a wasteland of novelty songs, over the hill hacks and one hit wonders.(1/5)

Years by UK No.1 Singles 58/65: 2012 It's back to the 2010s again; it feels like there's about 50 years in this god awful decade, probably not helped by the fact there were 36 no.1s in 2012, with an average score of 4.33/10. There's a lot going on. Most of it bad. (1/3)

Years by UK No.1 Singles 59/65: 1963 A first trip to the '60s, with a surprising year, scoring 4.29/10 - it's 1963. You would assume that any year featuring no.1s from both Elvis and the Beatles would be further up the rankings, but that's not reckoning on some of the other no.1s this year. 1/4

Years by UK No.1 Singles 60/65: 2019 I'm afraid it's yet another trip to the 2010s for a year that scored 4.17/10. It's a year of few no.1s, only 12, and the proverbial year of 2 halves: there's not a bad no.1 out of the first 6 and not a good one out of the latter 6. (1/3) #musicsky

The final day was as farcical as the lead-up. There was no announcement. Instead, a smattering of visitors turned up to find the gates locked and a handwritten sign. Did you know Glasgow once had a zoo off Baillieston Road? Iain McGilp traces a story of eccentric directors and decline.

Years by UK No.1 Single 61/65: 2017 Scored 4.14/10. We're again back in the 2010s and again it's not good. What is noticeable though is that pretty much every No.1 is from a recognisable name. And you can probably split them into 2 groups. There are the proper pop stars...(1/6)

Years by UK No.1 Single 62/65: 2011 Scored 4.13/10. I failed to keep up with chart music in the late '00s/early '10s, so hearing a lot of this year for the 1st time. I wasn't missing much by the sound of things... (1/5) #musicsky

Years by UK No.1 Single 63/65: 1989 Scored 4.11/10. The '80s ends with a stinker of a year. Starts okay then goes off a cliff. However more than any other year, 1989 is defined, in a bad way, by a single artist who drags the year down. Read on to find out the guilty party... #musicsky (1/3)

Years by UK No.1 Single 64/65: 2016 Scoring exactly 4/10, 2016 is the 2nd worst year of UK No. 1 singles, and undoubtedly the most boring of the 65 years worth of no.1s I listened to. There is not one single No 1 that is excitingly ina good or bad way. Everything is just "meh". #musicsky (1/3)

Years by UK No. 1 single 65/65: 1999 Let's chalk it down to pre-millenial tension... 1999 was the worst year for no. 1s, scoring a miserable 3.92 out of 10. There were 36 No. 1s over the year, setting what was at the time a record, and no song stayed at the top for more than 3wks #musicsky (1/7)

For no good reason I started a project, listening to and rating every single UK number 1 single from 1960 to present out of 10. I then decided to average each year and rank them in order to find which year had the best number 1 singles. Thought I would share my results with #musicsky 1/2

In 1975, welder Donald Miller was stabbed to death in his new Springburn flat. At first police thought it was the tragic result of a drunken brawl. But then they received new information. Was the killer right in front of their nose?

A couple of weeks after Miller’s body was found, his case was back in the news. This time police had made what they were touting as an investigative breakthrough, based on an anonymous phone call: Miller was gay.

When 58 year-old Donald Miller was stabbed to death in 1970s Springburn, police thought it was the result of a drunken argument. Then they received a tip that changed everything.
