Another extended play followed in November, titled " Xmas Ear Bender" which peaked at number 70. [54] Polydor Records also saw an opportunity to capitalise on the band's new success and released the compilation Slade Smashes! at the beginning of November. The album was given plenty of promotion and spent 15 weeks in the UK chart, peaking at number 21. [23] The album was certified UK Gold in December, having by then sold over 200,000 copies.

[5] Prompted by a challenge from Lea's mother in law to write a seasonal song, the chorus was the melody from a discarded song written by Holder six years previously. It became Slade's best-selling single. The song has remained popular and has been released many times since, charting on a number of occasions.

Slade dominated the UK singles charts during the early 1970s, often outperforming chart rivals such as Wizzard, Sweet, T. Rex, Suzi Quatro, Mud, Gary Glitter, Roxy Music, and David Bowie. [6] Slade achieved twelve Top 5 hit singles in the UK between 1971 and 1974, three of which went straight to No. 1. [2] Of the 17 Top 20 hits between 1971 and 1976, six made No. 1, three reached No. 2 and two peaked at No. 3. [2] No other UK act of the period enjoyed such consistently high chart placings in the UK Top 40, and this feat was the closest any group had come to matching the Beatles' 22 Top 10 records in a single decade (1960s). Slade sold more singles in the UK than any other group of the 1970s. In 1973 alone, " Merry Xmas Everybody" sold over one million copies globally, obtaining gold disc status. [7] They toured Europe in 1973 and the US in 1974. [7]

Who's Crazee Now?: My Autobiography by Noddy Holder with Lisa Verrico. London: Ebury Press, 2000 ISBN 0-09-187503-XCase in point, 1972's (ever so slightly more successful) Slayed? album, which I also caught up with again this week. There is far more of Slade's rambunctious personality present there than on Whatever Happened To Slade. Slayed?, Old New Borrowed And Blue, the first Slade Alive, the compilation Sladest and Slade In Flame are the albums that constitute essential Slade for me personally. Whatever Happened To Slade is a fair enough listen, but doesn't sparkle in the way those other recordings do. Item Display – RPM – Library and Archives Canada". Collectionscanada.gc.ca.
