I was born in 19667 and I sort of remember this happening, but I am not sure if it really did.
I sort of remember either the beatles where number 2 and simon and garfuncel where number 1 and the next week the chart positions where reversed, or maybe it was the other way round.
Can anyone tell me if this ever happened. I guess it would be the early 70's if it did

Well my memory was partly right. There was a week when the beatles where number 2 and simon and garfunkel where number one, but the beatles never knocked them off the number one spot.
Not bad considering I was only 2 and a half at the time!!!!

Yes it would have to be Bring over Troubled Waters and Let It Be
April 4, 1970
"Bridge Over Troubled Water", April 4, 1970.
Let It Be No. 1 on April 11th 1970
(Sorry these are the American charts)

Simon & Garfunkles only UK no.1 was Bridge Over Troubled Water in March 1970.
It replaced Wandrin' Star by Lee Marvin, and was knocked off the top spot by Dana - All Kinds Of Everything.
There was never a battle for the no.1 spot between the Beatles and Simon & Garfunkle.
Sorry to disappoint you.

Simon and Garfunkel only had one number 1 hit and that was Bridge over troubled water on feb 21st 1970. The Beatles only had one song out that year and it was Let it be, this reached number 2 on 14th march. Simon and Garfunkel split in 1971
