The Retrochart Vault

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.

24 10 06 Young Guns (Go For It) Wham! 45,000

An interesting chart this week though the entire top 3 are static! They all lose sales as well though their grip on the upper reaches remains quite solid, and leading the charge is still Eddy Grant who dips 15% to 126,000 but that increases the total sales to 436,000 for "I Don't Wanna Dance" as it overtakes "Do You Feel My Love" as his best seller.

Dionne Warwick remains Heartbroken at No 2 though she loses ground on Grant as she recedes 26% to 101,000 but does pass the 300,000 so has some reason to be cheery (316,000 to be exact) and one place behind is "Mad World" by Tears For Fears which is down 28% at 98,000 but it is actually the best seller of the three at present with cumulative sales of 448,000 and should sell its half millionth sale at some point next week failing a massive decline.

Moving onto the new entries and getting a toe hold in the top 5 are Clannad, you may currently be watching the ITV series "Harry's Game" and this is the song that you'll hear throughout the series. It's the first hit here for the Celtic folk band and the first time a track sung in that language has been a top 40 hit in the UK charts, the band of course being successful within their genre since the early 1970's, this track arrives 11-5 (63,000)

Putting re-issues of old tracks to one side, this is the official follow up single to last years Christmas No 1 single "Don't You Want Me" as Human League seem to be going for the prize again! "Mirror Man" becomes the 8th track of the year to debut in the top 10 (there were 9 last year) and so befits its follow up status . Though the subject of the track remains a mystery they have confirmed it is a current pop star- interesting. The band have of course been busy scoring a US Chart topper with DYWM and have been too busy to yet enter the studios to record a new single though they are doing so in 1983, "Mirror Man" therefore seems to be a stand alone single and debuts this week at No 9 (49,000) and you have to fancy a chart topper in the immediate future!

Blazing a trail into the top 10 are a new duo Wham! who hail from Watford. Their first single "Wham! Rap" fizzled out just shy of the charts but they have a lot more luck with "Young Guns (Go For It)" which rises 24-10 (45,000), it owes a lot of its success to the fact that Marvin Gaye was pencilled in to do TOTP but withdrew at the last minute which allowed the group a slot as they stood outside the Top 40 at No 42 (an unusual though not unprecedented feat) and a fortnight later here they are, the fact the group are quite photogenic I suspect won't harm them in the slightest.

Outside of the tracks already mentioned there are three climbers, the aforementioned Marvin Gaye glides 5-4 (65,000), Hall & Oates leap 10-6 (59,000) and Michael Jackson & Paul McCartney nip a spot 9-8 (52,000), whilst former No 1 "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" slips 4-7 (56,000) for Culture Club who release the follow up "Time" this week.

The HMV Retrochart is locked and ready for loading - here come the makers and shakers:

Number 50 - new entry. On the 12th November 1982 Patrick Cowley finally succumbed to what had been ailing him for the last year - it was GRID (now known as AIDS) - earlier this year he was busy in the studio working on what would become his final album "Mindwarp" written under the influence of AIDS. The final track "Going Home" is a tribute to where he is now. It's getting a lot of play in Cubland. Thank you for all your wonderful music Mr Cowley. We hope you have left your mark and influenced the music world to come (Pet Shop Boys, New Order et al) R.I.P. (19th October 1950 to 12th November 1982) - LEGEND
