In The UK
Shaw was sufficiently confident in the hit potential of the buoyant "Long Live Love" as to turn down the chance to record "It's Not Unusual", allowing the song to be given to Tom Jones and become his first hit. "Long Live Love" did spend three weeks at No 1 in the UK in June 1965 also affording Shaw a No 1 hit in both Ireland and New Zealand with a No 2 peak attained in South Africa. A Top Ten hit in both the Netherlands (No 7) and Norway (No 8), "Long Live Love" was also a hit in Australia (No 12) and Belgium, reaching No 15 on the latter territory's Dutch language chart.
