You've nicely got round the problem of the Coasters being omitted in error when the chart was initially published, by reverting to the old tie position rule (otherwise Russ Conway's debut hit would never have appeared in the chart) but blotted your copybook at the last knockings with the two lower genuine ties, which should have positions one higher than you show! (and annoyingly of course the old tie positions rule doesn't apply, so is inconsistent, but that can't be helped!)
