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.

Chartfile w/e 19th June 1982:
We have a new Number One this week - Duran Duran finally make it with "Hungry like the wolf" but they'd better watch out as Bow Wow Wow are right on their heels with "I want candy" moving up from 6 to 2. Further climbers inside the top ten include Genesis, Diana Ross and Shalamar. Roxy Music get the highest new entry at Number 9 with their title track from their recent album "Avalon" - Soft Cell are stuck at Number 5 with "Torch" and heading south are Madness, ABC and Adam Ant. Can Dollar enter the top ten next week? Stay tuned!
