PJOPS Retrochart w/e 04/04/81

THE RETROCHART
We are taking a trip down memory lane

The Rules


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

- This week is week ending 4 April 1981 and can include songs released up to 28 March 1981 only.

- Your deadline is MIDNIGHT THURSDAY 30 March.

- You can now chart ANY SONG RELEASED IN 1980.

Shaky embeds himself at the No 1 spot this week with "This Ole House" on an improved sale of 124,000 to take the tracks total sales to 386,000 and that's also enough to see the song sprint into the top 10 for the year (at No 9 to be exact), his album of the same title also finally makes the chart by entering at no 37. All this Shaky news is no good for Kim Wilde who finds herself barred from the top spot for a second week despite a TOTP performance, she can console herself with a sales hike of 30% week on week to a new best of 96,000 and a total now standing at 352,000 enough to place her 11th for the year.

It would be churlish not to recap on the first quarter of the year so here are the current top 10 best selling singles of the year...

1. VIENNA- Ultravox (725,000)
2. SHADDAP YOUR FACE- Joe Dolce (702,000)
3. WOMAN- John Lennon (622,000)
4. IMAGINE – John Lennon ( 571,000)
5. JEALOUS GUY- Roxy Music (501,000)
6. ANTMUSIC- Adam & The Ants (436,000)
7. IN THE AIR TONIGHT- Phil Collins (415,000)
8. I SURRENDER- Rainbow (397,000)
9. THIS OLE HOUSE- Shakin' Stevens (386,000)
10. (DO) THE HUCKLEBUCK- Coast To Coast (366,000)

Next Saturday sees the annual Eurovision Song contest and this years UK entrant are Bucks Fizz a group formed specifically for the contest and should produce some raised eyebrows at the competition with their skirt ripping routine. Early indications look promising for the song which races 24-5 today (66,000), it has easily outperformed last years entry "Love Enough For Two" by Prima Donna which peaked at No 48 though made third on the night, in fact Bucks Fizz now have the highest peaking UK entry since Brotherhood of Man's "Save Your Kisses For Me" and we all know how well that did!

Richard Burgess may be better known for production on work by Spandau Ballet but he's back to the day job as part of the band Landscape who have been plugging away for the better part of 10 years with no chart success until their current single "Einstein A Go-Go" exploded in sales and now jumps 11-8 (47,000).

Follow up to "You're Lying" Linx arrive in the top 10 for the first time with "Intuition" this week. Rising 13-10 (42,000) the group have recently reduced their size to just two members but a little is clearly going a long way for the duo.

Dave Lee Travis is rewarded for his current championing of the Tony Capstick record as it continues to climb 10-3 (69,000) but seems to far off the pace to pose a threat to the top 2 next week, meanwhile Stevie Wonder continues to climb 6-4 (67,000). Everything else drops, Toyah 4-6 (64,000), Roxy Music 3-7 (51,000) and Coast To Coast 7-9 (43,000).
