12 10 30 Blue Monday New Order 36,000
Another week and another easy victory for "Karma Chameleon" which is finally on the slide this week sales wise though it keeps the No 1 spot for a third week. The single sold a mighty 196,000 to bring the total to 728,000 in just 4 weeks as it sails past Bowie's "Let's Dance" to officially become the biggest selling single of the year so far!

The YTD top 10 now looks like this:

1. KARMA CHAMELEON- Culture Club 728,000
2. LET’S DANCE- David Bowie 713,000
3. TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART- Bonnie Tyler 706,000
4. TRUE- Spandau Ballet 702,000
5. DOWN UNDER- Men At Work 683,000
6. RED RED WINE- UB40 670,000
7. BILLIE JEAN- Michael Jackson 645,000
8. SWEET DREAMS (ARE MADE OF THIS)- Eurythmics 584,000
9. YOU CAN’T HURRY LOVE- Phil Collins 542,000
10. TOO SHY- Kajagoogoo 534,000

It's a bit of a bittersweet week for Bowie, he now plays second fiddle to Culture Club on both the YTD top 10 and on this weeks chart as "Modern Love" continues to improve on paper 3-2 but only increases his sales marginally to 68,000, still over 100,000 adrift of Culture Club, indeed Boy George and his band get their own back from this April when Bowie's "Let's Dance" deprived their own "Church Of The Poison Mind" of top billing. UB40 drift 2-3 but the 64,000 they sold sees them now rest at No 6 on the YTD list.

Since they broke through back in 1978 Siouxie & The Banshees have accrued 12 hit singles with only their debut hit "Hong Kong Garden" making the top 10. The 5 year wait is finally over for one of the few remaining acts from the punk scene as their cover of the Beatles track "Dear Prudence" leaps 17-4 (59,000), the track first appeared on the fab four's "White" album in 1968 and is a song about actress Mia Farrow's sister who turned recluse to concentrate on her meditations (odd but true story). It's a "between album" release, a strategy which has been gaining considerable popularity over the last few years as a way to ensure sales, well in this case it gives Siouxsie and her gang the biggest hit of their career!

Indeed it's a week for punk survivor's as John Lydon proves that he can generate a long post Sex Pistols career with Public Image limited as he too (like Siouxie) returns to the top 10 for the first time in 5 years. "This is Not A Love Song" is a response to those fans, and those in media circles, who see the group's evolution into a more commercial sound as a sell out, it flies 15-5 (59,000) to outpeak the No 7 position of 1979's "Public Image".

David Essex's 10th top 10 hit comes from the new musical "Mutiny!" which he has co-written and continues the star's long association with the musicals/ Film which has already provided him with major hits "Oh What A Circus" (No 3) and "Silver Dream Machine" (No 4). "Tahiti" floats 13-8 (44,000) and has already been around for 7 weeks, an unusual tally in the increasingly short term of chart runs.

Tracey Ullman's first single "Breakaway" was released way back in March but she's been busy in the interim recording her debut album "You Broke My Heart in 17 Places" which is due next month, the second single "They Don't Know" is a cover of a Kirsty MacColl single that was unlucky not to chart as its release coincided with a distributor's strike in 1979, it now has a much brighter future in Ullman's hands, it rockets 31-9 (42,000) this week to give her a 100% success rate in terms of her releases hitting the big 10.

New Order finally get the top 10 single that the critics have been stating is long overdue! "Blue Monday" has already been a No 12 single earlier this year and was of course only released on 12" but it now gets a re-issue, though technically it has never been out of production. The song makes the top 10 this week (following Abba's "Lay All Your Love On Me" and Gary Byrd & The Experience's "The Crown" into the top 10 based on a 12" issue only) as it climbs 12-10 (36,000), the song is already considered a dance classic by many and the band are not "promoting" the single with a live TOTP performance after the March release saw the band undertake the show live with disastrous effects (everything of a technical nature went wrong) and was widely credited with the underperformance of the single. This seems to have worked!

With so many new entries there aren't room for any climbers, Paul Young drops 5-6 (57,000) and Roberta Flack and Peabo Bryson descend 4-7 (53,000).
