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.

Another week and barely any slackening of the pace for "Tainted Love" as it completes another 193,000 copies to take its total to 546,000 putting it right on course to be one of the biggest hits of the year if not the top seller itself. We'll take a look at the best sellers of the year to date in a few weeks but there is no doubting the way that the song has certainly jelled with the British record buyer in part due to a mildly controversial appearance on TOTP.

Were it not for the extraordinary showing of Soft Cell at No 1 then no doubt we would be celebrating a second No 1 (not to mention a second debut at the top) for Adam & The Ants. "Prince Charming" is the title track from the most eagerly awaited album of 1981 which is due in November and it will be a miracle if it doesn't top the charts, the follow up to the first release from the era "Stand And Deliver" (it remains the biggest selling single of the year) this week "Prince Charming" debuts at No 2 on a sale of 112,000 enough to give it the No 1 position in 15 weeks of the year so far! In a normal week I would be stating that nothing could prevent its charge to the top next week but maybe the high bar set by Soft Cell might be to much to overcome!

Now on his 45th top 10 hit Cliff Richard will shortly be issuing his next album "Wired For Sound" and the title track bounds 11-4 (71,000) this week to become his biggest hit since last year's "Carrie" peaked at the same position. It's co-written by BA Robertson who is gearing up for a release of his own next month in a bit to keep his tag as popstar (in his own right) alive, and by way of trivia the video is filmed in Milton Keynes!

A 21st top 10 hit for Rolling Stones is up next, "Start Me Up" is already a major US release and its rise this week from 13-7 ( 54,000) to become their highest placed track since "Miss You" back in 1978 indicates the same over here. Interestingly the track actually dates back to 1975 when the band recorded it as a reggae song, subsequently it has been remade over the years into different versions but never good enough until it made the new album "Tattoo You" which debuts on the album charts at No 2 today behind "Dead Ringer" by Meat Loaf.

The subject of a mix up at the pressing plant saw initial copies of the Human League's "Love Action" (this week's No 6- 55,000) actually being pressed with "Souvenir" by OMD on the A-Side. Well both songs are now in the top 10 independent of each other with the OMD song storming 23- 8 (54,000) to equal the peak of last years "Enola Gay" and shares the same county as backdrop to the promo as the Cliff Richard track, namely Buckinghamshire (in this case Stowe House). With a third album due before Christmas it proves the wealth of expected big sellers due before the big day itself in December, it also allows a chance at vocals for Paul Humphreys.

Four fallers also to mention, Aneka slacks off the pace dropping 2-3 (74,000) and was lucky to hold the top 3, ELO drop 4-5 (68,000) despite a sales increase, UB40 head into reverse 7-9 (52,000) as even a TOTP performance can help them, and Gary Numan can't make it into the top 5 and dips 6-10 (46,000)
