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.

On a major charm offensive and with not much competition around "Prince Charming" holds top spot for a fourth week but the sale of 84,000 is the lowest since Aneka 6 weeks ago. To illustrate how "lucky" the Adam & The Ants track has been, if they had released a week earlier than they did and recorded the same sales weekly as it has then the chart run would read 2-2-2-3, however as it has the band have now spent 9 weeks at the top spot this year and have confirmed they will be releasing a Christmas single- could the race be over already for the festive chart topper?

Its victory at the top was by a slender margin, under 1,000 copies from The Tweets as "Birdie Song" got TOTP exposure and shoots 7-2 (84,000) and it must be odds on to become the UK's No 1 next week- brace yourself! The expected challenge from The Police didn't come to be this week as "Invisible Sun" tumbles 2-3 (80,000) in the main due to the appearance of parent album "Ghost In The Machine" which slams into the No 1 spot today by an easy margin.

Formerly both members of the folk outfit Hatfield and the North, Dave Stewart hit the charts earlier this year in tow with Former Zombies front man Colin Bluntstone on a cover of "What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted" peaking at No 13. Now he's back with the backing singer from his old group Barbara Gaskin on a cover of Leslie Gore's 1963 No 9 hit "It's My Party", as it rises 17-8 (53,000) it already surpasses the original peak wise.

In other news Godley & Crème continue to move in the right direction 6-4 (79,000), Madness move 10-7 (59,000) but going in the wrong direction are Ottawan 3-5 (77,000), Alvin Stardust has had enough 4-6 (72,000) and OMD drop 5-10 (47,000) whilst Diana Ross and Lionel Richie hold at No 9 (49,000)

Apologies its late this week. Combination of post holiday slump, massive amounts of work and not much free time. Extended the deadline to Saturday night as a result!
 
It's always a nightmare when you come back from holiday:

Work to catch up on
Retrochart to listen to/update
TOTP's to catch up on
Pick of the Pops to catch up on
Question Time/This Week (with hunky Andrew Neil) to catch up on....
 
Oh god I've completely lost track of Daily/Sunday Politics/This Week etc.

I LOVE Andrew Neil (not in that way though!)

I love him on "This Week" when he wears an open collar shirt - and quite often we used to get some "bare belly" on view where his tight shirt would be busting at the seams.....Woof!
