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.

- This week is week ending 10 April 1982. You can chart anything released prior to 3 April 1982, including any track from 1980-81.

- The deadline for this week is 23:59 on Thursday 12 April.

14 10 05 Have You Ever Been In Love Leo Sayer 43,000
It holds fast but yet again "Seven Tears" takes a dip sales wise down to a still healthy 103,000 taking it's overall sales to just under 590,000 and rises to No 4 in the YTD lists. It will all depend on the relative strength of the market next week as to who (if anyone) can prevent a fourth week at the top for Goombay Dance Band.

Due at the end of May is Roxy Music's next album "Avalon" which should follow in the footsteps of their last LP "Flesh And Blood" in 1980, and to promote it the lead single "More Than This" became their equal highest debuting single when it entered at No 18 last week (equalling 1980's "Over You". This week it outperforms the latter single by doing one better and leaping to No 6 (53,000) it is also the follow up the half million selling single (and their first No 1 single) "Jealous Guy"- this should go on to do great things for the band and is their 10th top tenner in a career now a decade long.

Arriving 15-7 (52,000) this week is the 4th top 10 smash for David Van Day and Thereza Bazar, better known as Dollar. With the group still ensconced in the studio with Trevor Horn the album seems to be taking its time but the singles continue to flow as "Give Me Back My Heart" proves the group are on a roll.

Proving you can never really write off Leo Sayer he returns back to the top 10 today as he climbs 14-10 (43,000) with "Have You Ever Been In Love". Just like Roxy Music this is Sayer's tenth top 10 hit and is his first single since 1980's "More Than I Can Say". It's co-written by Peter Sinfield and Andy Hill, better known as the songwriters for Bucks Fizz, and is the lead track from his 9th album "World Radio" due next month.

Talking of Bucks Fizz they leap 5-2 this week but belies the fact that the track is unlikely to make no 1 given that even with TOTP it only increases sales by 18% to 75,000 and should struggle next week. That was still enough to overcome Imagination who slip 2-3 (73,000) and two climbers are shaping up nicely at No's 4 & 5- Chas & Dave move 7-4 (68,000) and Japan accelerate 9-5 (54,000). Two fallers to mention briefly, Derek & The Dominoes drop 4-8 (47,000) and Julio Iglesias can't make it two chart toppers in a row as he dives 3-9 (46,000)

Diana Ross went to #6 with Mirror, Mirror, and her followup is jumping on the exercise craze that took Physical by Olivia Newton-John, to the top 10. Debuting at #77 is Work That Body
 
It looked like Depeche Mode would have their first top 40 hit when they debuted at #49 on 3/20 but since then #45 and then #43 and this week up one spot to #42 with three songs leaping over it, the odds are unlikely.
 
THE EG RETROCHART TOP 40: Week Ending 10th April 1982
10_04_82a.jpg

10_04_82b.jpg

EG's Chartdust: It's not an illusion; Bucks Fizz really do leapfrog Imagination to claim a remarkable third EG #1 in less than 12 months. There are climbs from Altered Images, Roxy Music, Dollar and Shakatak in the Top 10 but none appear to be genuine challengers for the top spot. The pairing of legends Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder could, however, be in with a chance as their duet shoots straight in at #10.
 
Before I reveal this week's HMV Retrochart - let's have lots of makers and shakers - are these songs in your Retrochart?

Number 50 - New entry for War with "You've got the power":
