Ronco

Ronco was a heavily TV‑advertised budget‑label carried widely by Woolworths and was most active in the 1970s–early 1980s.

Note, however, that Music Week placed That'll Be The Day at #1 in their Full Price (£1.89 upwards) chart in the July 21, 1973 issue. In the November 9, 1974 issue, Music Week explained that the Mid Price chart now covered albums priced between £1.26 and £1.99 plus compilation albums advertised on TV. Ronco had Stardust at #2 and Black Explosion at #3. By the May 25, 1974 issue, the Mid Price & TV Albums chart covered released priced between 94p and £1.87. Journey Through The 60s was #4.

By July 12, 1975, the magazine was listing the top albums from sales at 300 "conventional" outlets and at prices of £1.26 upwards and no separate Mid Price & TV Albums chart. There were no Ronco releases listed. The November 1, 1975 issue listed releases priced from £1.49. Ronco had no albums in that chart, week ending October 18, 1975.

From 1980, the chart now covered 450 outlets and records priced £2.25 upwards. Ronco had two releases in the chart for week ending January 12, 1980: Peace In The Valley at #17 and Rock 'n' Roller Disco at #46.
