THE RETROCHART
We are taking a trip down memory lane

The Rules


- This is a retrochart which commenced week ending 5 January 1980.

- This week is week ending 3 January 1981 and can include songs released up to 27 December 1980 only.

- Your deadline is MIDNIGHT Monday 26 December.

- You can now chart ANY SONG RELEASED IN 1980.

- Post in the thread or start a new conversation with me with your top 10/20/100 songs of each week.

- Each week I will post a list of new entries and releases that are eligible to chart and links to international charts (click on the flag / icon for the hyperlink).

- The list will not be exhaustive and you are free to add any more obscure songs on your personal list released up to that date or songs contemporaneously charting on international charts. If you do I would appreciate any links to evidence the release date or chart history to update the archive.

- You are free to use your own personal charts from the time (if you have them) or create an updated list for this chart.

- Please rank your songs from your favourite downwards. (eg #1 down to #100)

- Your #1 gets 100 points, #2 gets 99 points etc

- The weekly PJOPS Retrochart is compiled from accumulated points each week.

- It would be fantastic if you could regularly contribute lists but understandably there may be weeks you can not. If someone fails to contribute towards a weekly chart their previous week’s choices will be frozen and contribute to the chart but the points will be halved. This is to prevent wild fluctuations in chart positions depending on contributions.

John Lennon has the first number one of 1981 with "Imagine":


The Police had the biggest HMV Retrochart single of 1980 with "Don't stand so close to me" - it's currently at number 15 on the Retrochart up from 25:


Chartfile:
There is no UK Mainstream chart this week due to the Christmas break - and this always has a “recurrent” effect on the HMV Retrochart. No new entries due to lack of “cub” exposure in the region. Instead some of the best sellers of 1980 that are still in the chart begin to climb again due to exposure on the Year End Chart show and review of the year.
Therefore the following singles climb back up:
Super Trouper
Don’t stand so close to me
The tide is high
Enola Gay
Baggy trousers
Ace of spades
Dog eat dog
Fashion
Kenny Rogers’ “Lady” shoots up from 50 to 34 this week due to it being one of the biggest US Hit singles this year!
Meanwhile John Lennon dominates the top of the chart as “Imagine” climbs to number one as "(Just like) Startin’ over” falls to number two. It has now been confirmed that his “new” single will be “Woman” from his recent “Double Fantasy” album. “Merry Christmas (war is over)” climbs up to number three.
Adam and the Ants are hot stuff at the moment – with three singles climbing the chart – the biggest being “Antmusic” at number four. The other climber inside the top ten is Queen with “Flash” meanwhile going down the top ten are The Police and Jona Lewie. Devo and Gary Numan remain in the same position within the top ten.
The longest runner on the HMV chart is Madness with “Baggy Trousers” climbing back up to number 35 after 17 weeks on the chart. The Police who had the biggest HMV Retrochart hit of 1980 with “Don’t stand so close to me” climb back up to number 15 after 15 weeks in the chart.

Things will be back to normal next week as there will be a mainstream UK chart so watch out for new entries from Visage, Sad café, Stevie Wonder, The Look and Yaborough and People – are you ready for one of the best years in music to truly begin? then stay tuned!

A trio of Lennon singles now in the top 10, but none higher than #5 as Adam & his Ants snag the first #1 of 1981 (or the last of 1980, depending on how you view chart dates). The Police will hope to overhaul Antmusic in the New Year and keep up their run of #1s.

Without giving too much away my 1981 Retrochart number ones will begin by following the UK Mainstream Chart number ones but then it will vary quite a bit as the year progresses!
