The New Seekers released 29 singles in the UK. Lyn Paul sings on 16 of them, including all six of their Top 10 hits. Most of the singles from the New Seekers' hey day were also released in the USA, Europe, the Far East and Australia. However, these singles appeared on different record labels from the UK releases: early US releases were on Elektra, later ones on MGM / Verve; European releases were on Philips. Some featured different tracks on the B-side and a few were not released in the UK at all.

Although the New Seekers had more hit singles in the UK, the group's first chart success came in the United States. On 5th September 1970 the New Seekers' cover of Melanie's What Have They Done To My Song, Ma entered the Billboard Hot 100, a month ahead of its entry in the UK chart. On their first three hits (all of which were written by Melanie) the group was billed as the "New Seekers featuring Eve Graham". From 1970-73 the New Seekers spent a great deal of their time touring the United States. They were even popular with President Nixon, who requested that the group perform at his Inauguration at the Kennedy Center, Washington (18th January 1973). It was the first time that an act from outside the USA had been invited to perform at a Presidential Inauguration. |
