Huey Lewis and the News break into the top ten this week with "Heart and Soul" climbing from 12 to 7:
Lionel Richie makes it four weeks at the top with "All night long (all night)"
Cubfile:
Lionel Richie’s “All night long (all night)” makes it four weeks at the top. Numbers two to Five are all stuck: Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson, Duran Duran, The Rocksteady Crew and Men without Hats respectively! Numbers 6 to 10 are all climbing: Talking Heads, Huey Lewis and the News, Adam Ant, The Police and ABC respectively!
The highest new entry this week is at Number 23 for Abba with “Thank you for the music” which looks like it could be their last single as both Frida and Agnetha have had solo hits in the last year!
After 34 weeks New Order’s “Blue Monday” finally drops out the chart! Therefore, UB40 are the longest survivor with 13 weeks on the chart now. “Red Red Wine” their former Number One single drops from 27 to 35 this week.
Next Week could see new entries from The Style Council, Paul Young, Thompson Twins, Tina Turner, Michael Jackson and of course Roland Rat – stay tuned!

EG's TOP 40 RETROCHART: Week Ending 12th November 1983
EG's Chartdust: New Song's reign is over after 4 weeks, as Say Say Say finally makes #1. Men Without Hats and Billy Joel continue to climb, but Madness could be the one to watch, up 14 places to #5. Duran Duran are already on the slide, while The Cure are stuck at #7.
There are significant moves from ABC, Olivia Newton John, Shakin Stevens and Limahl, but Level 42 strangely fail to advance from #11 and Shalamar even more surprisingly drop down to #15. It's getting brutal in the Top 20!
Eurythmics get the highest of 7 new entries with the follow-up to Who's That Girl.

Notes
10- From 1981, Nana Mouskouri, simply because I like that song, I haven't heard it in eons, and this retrochart is a good occasion to hear it again.
New at number 82 in the French Chart on October 4, 1981 (wikipedia).
15- Rockit is an unforgettable 80s instrumental whose entry I missed earlier, it had to enter my chart, now it's done. I forgot how hiphop it sounds.
