PJOPS Retrochart w/e 15/03/80



graph-icon-white.png
The Rules

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

- This week is week ending 15 March 1980. Your deadline is MIDNIGHT Saturday 5 March.

- 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.

New #1 in Russronia, as Lipps Inc matured quickly to take over from the DK's. It could be the start of a new dynasty too.

Elsewhere near the top it's a sad week, as both 'Dreaming' by Blondie and 'We Belong to the Night' by Ellen Foley are deemed to have overstayed their six-month welcome. They are replaced by some really funky stuff, though: Leon Haywood's sole UK hit and Magazine's cover of an old Sly Stone song.
