Disc and Music Echo, the British teen weekly, just published their pop poll for 1971 and we thought you might be interested in knowing that: THE TOP TEN GROUPS in the world are: Led Zepplin, Beatles, Beach Boys, Rolling Stones, Creedence, The Four Tops, the Who, CSNY, The Temptations and Deep Purple (?!?) in that order. In Britian, though, the top group is the Beatles, Zep second, Stones third. The Who place 7th there, as well, with Black Sabbath in at 9 and Pink Floyd at 10. THE TOP MALE SINGER in the world is: Elvis Presley, followed by Robert Plant. Dylan placed 5th, McCartney 6 then Stevie Wonder, Mick Jagger, Andy Williams, and Scott Walker. The British only poll placed Tom Jones at the top, followed by Cliff Richard, Plant, McCartney, Cat Stevens, Joe Cocker, Jagger (seventh???), Ian Gillan of Deep Purple, Englebert Television, and Roger Daltry. My my.
