PJOPS Retrochart w/e 10/05/80

[phoenix123]

The Rules

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

- This week is week ending 10 May 1980. Your deadline is MIDNIGHT Saturday 30 April.

- 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.

- 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 (within the prior 6 months) 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.

(Reminder for @Ironheade aswell)

 

[Remorque]

[phoenix123]

Good to hear. Be nice to see if you shake up the retrochart.

I know it's the lazy bank holiday weekend but get your charts in!

(Reminder for @Ironheade aswell)

It's like being reminded by your teacher to hand in your homework and remembering that you have to be "creative"!
I promise to do it tonight sir!

My Retrochart is coming up soon…but first some shakers and movers in the Cubster chart - will they feature on other People's Retrocharts?

New entry at Number 40: Mystic Merlin and "Just can't give you up":

 

[Hairycub1969]

New entry at number 39: Rodney Franklin and "The Groove"

 

[Hairycub1969]

New entry at number 34: Squeeze - Pulling mussels (from the shell):

 

[Hairycub1969]

New entry at number 31: Crown Heights Affair - You gave me love:

 

[Hairycub1969]

He's got two singles inside the top 20 this week and another one bubbling outside the top 40 (due to Cubster Chart Rules "I feel for you" is not currently available as a single anywhere yet and therefore is disqualified from the top 40)

Here's Prince at number 17 with his current US single called "Why you wanna treat me so bad"
The sound comes back on at 3.39:
