This week in 1974, Angel face by the Glitter Band reached its highest position of number 4 in the UK singles chart. It had entered the top 40 four weeks previously at number 26 and broke into the top 10 a week later. After one week at its peak position, the song started to slide down the chart but remained in the top 10 for another two weeks. A further two weeks in the lower top 40 followed before the record left the chart.

Angel face was released on the Bell record label and was the first of six top 10 hits for the Glitter Band in the UK. It was included on the silver-selling album Hey!, which reached number 13 in the UK album chart later in 1974. The single was also certified silver.
