Dollar have their second Number One this week with "Give me back my heart":
@Rooneyboy
Cubfile:
Congratulations to both Dollar and Trevor Horn. Dollar get their second Number One of 1982 as “Give me back my heart” is the New Number One this week following their previous single “Mirror Mirror” which reached the summit in January. Trevor Horn produced both singles as well as ABC’s “Poison Arrow” Number One hit from last month. He has also remixed the new Spandau Ballet single called “Instinction” which will be released later on this month! Imagination are stuck at Number Two behind Dollar. Climbing up are Japan, Visage, Bucks Fizz and Heaven 17 – who now have their fifth top ten hit from “Penthouse and Pavement” as the re-made “At the height of fighting” moves up from 14 to 10 this week! Heading down are former Number Ones from both The Associates and ABC as well Fun Boy Three with Bananarama and Haircut 100.
The longest charting single is Simple Minds’ “I Travel” which has clocked up 16 weeks in total – originally peaking at Number Five in November 1980 – it has been re-released and currently sits at Number 37 this week. Watch out for their brand new single “Promised you a miracle” which is released this week!
Next Week could see new entries from:
Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder, Haircut 100, Bananarama with Fun Boy Three, J Geils Band, Bardo, Simple Minds, Hall and Oates and War – stay tuned!
