THE EG RETROCHART TOP 40: Week Ending 24th July 1982

24_07_82b.jpg


EG's Chartdust: It's the same records in the Top 4 this week, but all in different positions. Imagination finally get that elusive Retrochart #1, with The Steve Miller Band nestling into the runners-up spot. Bananarama and Bucks Fizz would appear to have peaked, so those looking for future #1s should watch out for Yazoo, Dexys Midnight Runners and the week's highest entry from Madness. Driving In My Car debuts while their previous smash House Of Fun, a single-week chart champ, still clings onto the Top 40 after 10 weeks.
