Popjustice Retrochart w/e 20/03/82

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.

12 10 08 Classic Adrain Gervitz 51,000
Another week at the top beckons for Tight Fit whose "Lion Sleeps Tonight" sells a further 139,000 copies last week, a still impressive total though that's a week on week slide of 25% is a hefty decline.

Tight Fit will be hard pushed to make a fourth week as Goombay Dance Band broke through the ranks this week to spiral 8-2 (111,000) and could threaten for the top in 7 days time.

After 3 top 20 hits Imagination are back with a new album "In The Heat Of The Night" which is due in a couple of months, lead single "Just An Illusion" this week charges 18-8 (61,000) to become their second top 10 hit for the colourful trio.

Also returning to the top 10 is Adrian Gurvitz. Who? Well he was in the lead vocalist in the group Gun who scored a No 8 hit back in 1968 with "Race With The Devil", the group split some 12 years ago and Gurvitz has been involved with other groups but nothing of note chart wise, until recent hit "Classic" which this week soars 12-10 (51,000) .

To make way for the Goombay Dance Band the rest of the top 5 all move back one spot, and all lose sales so can't really grumble, Toni Basil reneges 2-3 (100,000), Haircut 100 drop 3-4 (73,000) and Bananarama and Fun Boy Three recede 4-5 (63,000), to further note J Giles Band also drop 5-9 (56,000) on their way out. In amongst them all two climbers, ABC propel 10-6 (61,000) and Bow Wow Wow are right behind them 9-7 (61,000)

THE EG RETROCHART TOP 40: Week Ending 20th March 1982
20_03_82a.jpg

20_03_82b.jpg


EG's Chartdust: Soft Cell are not quite ready to bid farewell to the top spot, but with ABC getting close to the target it would be stupid, stupid to bet against them reaching #1 next week.

Gary Numan manages to overcome a muted start to rise 5 places to #8 for yet another Top 10 hit, with Associates and Robert Palmer looking likely to join him soon. Imagination have now moved 28-11-5 in a fortnight, but may find ABC in their way. Highest climber is a song from 1970, three of the four new entries are by Genesis, Chas & Dave and Leo Sayer; it's the new wave of pop alright.
