PJOPS Retrochart w/e 11/10/80

THE PJOPS 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 11 October 1980 and can include songs released up to 4 September 1980 only.

- Your deadline is MIDNIGHT Saturday 1 October.

- 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 (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.

HIGHCLIMBER
"Zenyatta Mondatta" duly debuts at No 1 today and naturally takes some sales away from "Don't Stand So Close To Me" which still holds the top position on a very healthy sale of 171,000 taking the songs 21 day tally to 511,000 and has all the landmarks of a million seller- 1980's first in fact and is now the 14th biggest selling single of the year and could perhaps jump into the top 5 next week. Talking of the YTD tallies Kelly Marie has now sold over 700,000 copies and tops that list though perhaps not for long as it drops to No 12 this week.

There are four climbers from within the top 10 this week with Ottawan's "D.I.S.C.O" climbing a place and shifting 157,000 copies in doing so, that's the highest total for a No 2 record all year and makes a fourth week at the top looking unlikely for The Police with that 47% increase of sales. Madness also share in the current healthy market with a rise of a place 4-3 and sales of 117,000 copies, it should now become their biggest selling single of the year out of their three top 10 hits, the parent album "Absolutely" climbs 7-2 on the album charts and doubtless prevented a serious challenge on the No 1 single from them this week. Diana Ross also climbs a spot 6-5 (64,000) as well as a solitary place climb for Black Slate 10-9 (44,000).

Three new hits to cover this week starting with the Specials who score a fourth consecutive top 10 hit as "Stereotype/ International Jet Set" sprints 25-6 (58,000). It's the lead single from their second album "More Specials" which this week makes the top 5, two places than their debut set made earlier this year.

Following up the July No 1 single "Use It Up, Wear It out" Odyssey return with the ballad "If You're Looking For A Way Out" and find themselves back in the top 10 as it climbs 20-7 (57,000)

It's doubtless the most controversial song in the top 40 at the moment (if not the year) but Thin Lizzy rise 18-10 (44,000) with "Killer On The Loose". Lynott takes on the persona of Jack the Ripper which has considerable resonance with current events in the north of England and has created something of minor media frenzy but it has become their 4th top 10 in a seven year career.

Not mentioned already Stevie Wonder drops 2-4 (82,000) and Randy Crawford falls 5-8 (52,000)

I'll be posting my Retrochart later this evening. But firstly…some makers and shakers on this week's HMV Retrochart for w/e 11th Oct 1980:

Number 50 - new entry for Adam and the Ants with "Dog eat dog":

 
Number 49 - new entry for Kurtis Blow and "The Breaks" - it's called "rapping" and this is the second record of it's kind to chart in the HMV Retrochart following Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's delight":

 
Number 46 - new entry for Black Slate and "Amigo" - it's in the UK Mainstream top 10 and now it's crossed over into the HMV Retrochart!:

 
Number 24 climbing up from 46 are OMD and their new single called "Enola Gay" - this is their fourth HMV chart hit this year - their last single "Messages" was a number one smash - can this do the same?:
