EG's TOP 40 RETROCHART: Week Ending 17th September 1983
EG's Chartdust: Long Hot Summer continues its reign, although the evenings are getting darker and it'll be Autumn soon. Genesis are now in sight of a first Retrochart #1 since 1980. Five singles climb into the Top 10, led by Heaven 17 who leapfrog Big Country and Rod Stewart. Paul Young makes an impressive 17-place jump to #7. As the latest New Order single reaches the Top 10, their previous single Blue Monday (#9 in April) re-enters the chart at #32!
The two big releases of the week are a Limahl-less Kajagoogoo with Big Apple (their fourth hit of 1983 already) and the return of Culture Club courtesy of Karma Chameleon which is the highest debutant at #11.

Significant gains for Paul Young sees him enter the top ten in just his second week charted moving 23-9. This of course follows his debut hit in June Wherever I Lay My Hat which took 2 months to reach a peak of #8. He is likely to have his biggest hit yet surpassing that peak next week.

Culture Club have their most instant hit yet entering at #7 this week. It's not their first entry straight into to the top ten, as previous hit Church Of The Posion Mind entered at #10 back in June but it is a return to form after last hit I'll Tumble For Ya petered out at only #25 in July.
Culture Club have previously hit the summit with Do You Really Want To Hurt Me which spent 3 weeks at the top in October 1982, eventually going Gold in February. Can they make it a second chart topper next week?

Even a phenomenal fifteenth straight week at the summit on @Epic Chocolat's chart couldn't keep the The Police in the top three in perpetuity. They finally fall 2-6 after a whopping 15 weeks in the top three.
