THE RETROCHART
We are taking a trip down memory lane

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.

Experiencing a 62% increase in sales this week Tight Fit seem to have finally clicked with the British public as "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" powers to No 1 by some margin to give the act (or more correctly the producers given that the act themselves don't sing on the track) their biggest hit. It's already sold over 424,000 copies and is shaping up to be one of 1982's biggest sellers.

The nearest challenger to Tight Fit actually came from Toni Basil's "Mickey" which stormed from 11-2 (116,000) after an electrifying TOTP performance. Known best for her choreographic skills she has worked on tours for David Bowie and the promo video for Talking Heads "Once In A Lifetime" and now finds herself in the limelight with this cover. The original composition was called "Kitty" and was recorded by Racey in 1979 for their debut album and comes from the fair hand of Chinn/ Chapman with a few extra bits added by Basil.

There aren't any other new entries in the top 10 this week but that doesn't mean there isn't any action. Two tracks continue to impress, Fun Boy Three and Bananarama leap 9-6 (56,000) and Depeche Mode climb 10--8 (50,000) despite losing some sales week on week, meanwhile Haircut 100 are lucky to hold No 4 on a reduced sale of 85,000.

Five tracks all fall most importantly The Jam who give up the ghost as they tumble 1-3 (88,000) but take their total to 596,000 copies and charges to No 2 on the YTD list, it also becomes the groups biggest selling single ever, reason to celebrate. After being widely tipped for No 1 last week (not least by me) "Centerfold" shifts into reverse and dips 3-5 (84,000), Soft Cell also fall 5-7 (51,000) and completing the fallers are The Stranglers 6-9 (36,000) and OMD ebb 7-10 (35,000). Incidentally The Jam should take over the YTD list from "Golden Brown" which has now sold 597,000 copies and is therefore just 1,000 copies ahead of "Town Called Malice/ Precious"- a situation which should be rectified next week.
