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.

Well it looked like it would be a tough fought battle this week and certainly until the weekend it was with both Adam & The Ants and Shakin Stevens neck and neck. However an exclusive on “Tomorrow’s world” on the making of the video coupled with TOTP swung it the way of “Stand And Deliver” which spends a fifth week at No 1, the first song to do so in the 80s. The track sold just 98,000 copies last week, a slide of 17% week on week but it does hit the 700,000 mark whilst still at No 1, it’s now No 3 on the YTD and should top the rankings after next week. “You Drive Me Crazy” remains at No 2 but sold 84,000 copies as it moves over 500,000 in total but its challenge is now on paper only.

The Jam debut at No 4 this week as 1981 proves a more difficult nut to crack than 1980 for new entries in the top 10, only John Lennon and the aforementioned "Stand And Deliver" have turned the trick so far this year. "Funeral Pyre" is a stand alone single from the band and sold 63,000 copies, well down on their last two opening tallies of 131,000 and 118,000 respectively, the promotion for this single has been rather more low key than those hits which perhaps accounts for it, but don't discount a shot at No 1 next week for this- we all know how loyal their fanbase is- and how "Start" ......started its chart career.

Named after their home town of Champaign in Illinois, the group have a top ten hit on their hands in the form of "How Bout Us" which rises 11-6 (56,000). The track is currently at No 12 in the US and is there first hit on both sides of the Atlantic.

Hazel O'Connor now has a hat-trick of top 10 hits to her credit as another release from the "Breaking Glass" soundtrack climbs 23-10 (43,000). O'Connor may have fallen out with A & M but she is doing the rounds promoting the track perhaps aware that it would her career just as much damage not to promote than it would to the label.

Elsewhere the top 3 trivium of Adam and the Ants, Shaky and Starsound is finally broken this week by Smokey Robinson's climb 7-3 (77,000) with "Being With You" which surely has only to fight off the Jam for the top spot next week? Speaking of Starsound they descend 3-7 (55,000) just ahead of Tenpole Tudor who retreat 6-9 (47,000), Kim Wilde is also a victim of this weeks chart with "Chequered Love" floundering 4-5 (56,000). The only act not mentioned so far is Toyah who climb a spot 9-8 (50,000) despite a 48% hike in sales.

That is some drop from number one. Did you suddenly get sick of it?!?

 

[Hairycub1969]

That is some drop from number one. Did you suddenly get sick of it?!?

was thinking the same...my biggest fall from number one was back in late September 1980 when Kelly Marie's "Feels like I'm in love" fell from one to six - that was to give way to a lot of fast climbers in the top five!

 

[Eric Generic]

I think I've had one or two singles plunge from #1 to about #8 or #9. Usually on a week where there were lots of high entries or big climbers.

 

[Ironheade]

Kim Carnes holds strong at #1... but she's got some serious competition only two weeks in! You think Siouxsie will follow "Christine" to the top, or that the Jam can follow up "That's Entertainment"? (And actually, you know what? I was really thinking "Just the Two of Us" would do better on most people's charts than it is. But at least I can get the Dead Kennedys near the top!)

Yeah Just The Two Of Us has probably under performed on my chart come to think of it but it's extremely difficult to get the thought of Will Smith out of your head when hearing the song now! Maybe that's cursed it?!
