Following Collins with a 5 place drop it's Blondie. This may well get a certification next week if it holds up enough!

The Jam are steady at #6 after a mixed week. They are on the slide on a couple of charts but enter a new chart and even top @Ironheade's!

Roxy Music are consistent hit makers on the Retrochart with this becoming their fourth top ten hit last week. It sneaks into the top five this week, with only previous single Over You charting higher at #4. It's also #3 in the UK this week!

Exceeding expectations, Teardrop Explodes is now top ten in four retrocharts, and top five in three of them which leads to a healthy climb to #3 this week!

Ultravox are comfortable in their fourth week at number one! This is the first single to make four weeks at the top since David Bowie's Ashes To Ashes back in October. It's SILVER this week too!

Fantastic top 3.
Chartfile:
What an exciting top ten! Ultravox make it four weeks at the top as Talking Heads get stuck at number two. But the big surprise is "Reward" by The Teardrop Explodes up from 7 to 3 and still climbing in three PJ regions! Also climbing are Roxy Music, The Pretenders and Kim Wilde. The Jam are stuck at number six. John Lennon, Blondie and Phil Collins are all heading southwards!
