CLIFF RICHARD - RICHARD FEELS CHEATED OUT OF RECORD

RICHARD FEELS CHEATED OUT OF RECORD

SIR CLIFF RICHARD wants to set a new record by topping the U.K. charts in six consecutive decades - but insists he has already been cheated out of the honour.
The veteran singer is the only act - along with Elvis Presley - to register a number one in the British singles charts in every decade from the 1950s to the 1990s.
He's now eyeing a number one in the 2000s as well - but feels he was robbed of achieving the feat in 2006 when download sales helped his chart rival Leona Lewis beat him to top spot.
He says, "It would be fantastic, it really would be good, but of course again they've moved the goal posts. I still feel that I had my number one in the 2000s because when I released 21st Century Christmas... it was the top selling CD in the country. I sold more CDs than 75 CDs below me, but I got pipped to the post by 7,000 downloads and I don't get any downloads."
