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.

24 10 04 The Land Of Make Believe Bucks Fizz 59,000 HIGHCLIMBER
Well it was this week or bust for many of the contenders for Christmas No 1 this year and in the end they all either faltered in the wake of, or left it too late to mount a challenge to, the Human League whose "Don't You Want Me" not only holds the No 1 position but stretches its lead to beyond doubt for next week. It sold 171,000 last week to lift its total to 351,000 after just three weeks, an impressive feat in 1981.

A frantic scramble for the remaining top 5 places ended up with just 2,000 copies separating Cliff's "Daddy Home" which holds at No 2 (109,000) and Madness' "It Must Be Love" which climbs 7-5 (107,000) but in reality the four tracks could have ended in any order. In that mix are also two favourites for the Christmas No 1 slot which must now be expected to fail in that mission- Adam & The Ants "Ant Rap" only climbs 9-4 (107,000) whilst Abba are more in favour as "One Of Us" rockets 11-3 (108,000) and in doing so becomes the Swedes 18th straight Top 10 hit in a list that stretches back to 1975. Only three Abba singles have failed to make the top 10 since "Waterloo" became their breakthrough hit at Eurovision 1974 and the group are already assured a place among the top flight of acts to grace the UK charts since its inception almost 30 years ago. On the album charts "The Visitors" duly debuts at No 1 this week and should have no trouble in allowing the band to claim the biggest seller in the Christmas market for a second year on the trot though it may impact on sales on "One Of Us".

Drawing many comparisons to Abba since they too won Eurovision this year, Bucks Fizz join their spiritual mentors in the big 10 today with "Land Of Make Believe" which arrives today 24-10 (59,000). With former King Crimson co-founder Peter Sinfield on co-writing credits the track has gained critical favour in formerly hostile quarters like NME and the child like theme through the lyrics might help to pick up some extra Christmas sales for the song after the previous two releases failed to make the top 10.

One climber still to note, Godley & crème move 10-8 (64,000) whilst Julio Iglesias (3-6, 84,000), Diana Ross (4-7, 68,000) and Soft Cell (6-9, 61,000) all drop.

25,000

It's a spectacular drop from 1-8, the biggest ever, for Queen/Bowie this week but it doesn't quite reflect what a close run race it is as the whole top 7 are gaining with only 10,000 separating Queen/Bowie from a fourth week at the summit.

Which leaves Dollar as chart champions this week, bunny hopping Kim Wilde who spends a third consecutive week stuck at #2. Of the records stacking up behind them it's Madness who make the biggest move 10-5.

ABBA have yet another top ten hit on their hands powering 28-9 and could well see a fourth chart topper in the coming weeks!

Christmas number one next week could be anybody!
