Adams Hit Parade has the distinction of being the UK's number-one EP on three occasions. It first reached the number on spot on December 17, 1960, but was bumped out a week later by Cliff Richard and The Shadows's Cliff's Silver Discs. On January 21, 1961 Faith reclaimed the top spot, only to be evicted a week later by the Shadows' The Shadows EP which held the top slot until Faith regained it for a week on May 27, 1961.
