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.

- This week is week ending 20 February 1982. You can chart anything released prior to 13 February 1982, including any track from 1980-81.

- The deadline for this week is 23:59 on 22 February.

When "Town Called Malice/ Precious" deposed "The Model/ Computer Love" at the top last week it became the first instance in the 30 year history of the charts that a double A Side replaced a double A side at No 1 a fact I omitted to mention last week. Perhaps more interestingly this week was the news that EMI had lodged an official complaint with BMRB over the Jam Single, in short that it had an unfair advantage over other records as the 12" has a live version of "Town Called Malice" and that fans had in effect bought both versions "artificially" inflating sales of the disc. EMI is of course home to the Stranglers who lost out on what was otherwise a dead cert for the No1 spot. With the investigation concluded BMRB have decided that no chart regulations have been infringed and that therefore the Jam track is allowed to stand. This week the track holds at No 1 on a sale of 229,000 copies bolstered by, in effect, two Saturdays as the chart returns to a Monday- Saturday week that this week also included the previous Saturday as well, the song has now sold 382,000 copies in just 14 days and has really ignited the charts of 1982 from their slumber.

It was also helped by a double performance on TOTP which is unusual indeed (if not unprecedented) but even that sale was challenged by The Stranglers who in the end faded in the latter part of the week having shifted 177,000 copies. At one time ahead of the field EMI might have extra reason to be resentful of the Jam track and yet for all those sales both tracks had trailed off significantly by the time the second weekend came round, to the point that neither may be in the running for the top spot next week!

That's because the major beneficiary from TOTP were Soft Cell whose "Say Hello Wave Goodbye" shoots 18-3 (128,000) to become the bands third top 10 single on the trot. The band's debut album "Non Stop Erotic Cabaret" is home to all three singles and this week surges 8-5 to reach a new peak for the LP.

With fifth album "English Settlement" due this week, XTC are no strangers to the charts with 4 top 40 hits to their credit over the last 3 years but never, to date, a top 10 hit. Not any more as "Senses Working Overtime" climbs 17-10 (65,000) this week to become their biggest hit.

The general sales bonanza mean some impressive figures this week, OMD climb 6-4 (127,000), and Tight Fit continue to improve 8-6 (98,000). Almost everything does better sales wise even though they drop Kraftwerk drop 4-5 (125,000- the best week sales wise) Shaky drops 3-7 (87,000), Christopher Cross eases 7-8 (84,000) and Meat Loaf declines 5-9 (81,000)

There's a lot of movement in this week's top ten with four big climbers entering.

Tight Fit do go the final step to claim the top spot but it's only marginally ahead of the highest climber into the top ten which sees current UK #1 from The Jam pushing last week's #1 down to #3 after a three week reign. A Town Called Malice is already The Jam's biggest hit here beating the #4 peak of Going Underground. On this trajectory they look certain for the top next week.

Stacking up behind, Haircut 100 continue to make steady progress moving 7-4 but signs look good for former chart toppers Soft Cell and Depeche Mode who have big leaps into the top ten. Newcomer Toni Basil rounds out the ten very neatly. In her first month charted she has had a healthy run so far 70-40-20-10.
