Poor Mr Ant. Destined to never quite get that Retrochart-topper. At least it was by such a big margin that my own positions didn't affect it.

Yeah looks like last week was their best chance after all!

 

[Hairycub1969]

Chartfile - w/e 17th October 1981:

We have a new Number One - congratulations to Depeche Mode who make it to the top with single number three "Just can't get enough" - this leaves poor "Prince Charming" by Adam and the Ants stuck at number two for four weeks now! OMD Fall to number three this week. Dollar and The Rolling Stones are also heading down the top ten. The Human League have two singles climbing inside the top ten: "Open your heart" shoots from 20 to 8 while "Love Action/I believe in love" rebounds to number nine. Also climbing are The Police, Godley and Creme and Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin.

Can Depeche Mode hold on to the summit? Stay tuned!
