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.

Cubfile:
Once again a very tight race for the number one spot this week with Adam and the Ants’ “Prince Charming” as the champion. Simple Minds have to contend with number 2 this week! Climbing inside the top ten are OMD, John Foxx, Dollar, Heaven 17, The Teardrop Explodes and Linx. Ultravox fall to number 7 and the highest new entry is at number 6 for The Police and their brand new single “The invisible sun” – a very political and different sounding single for Sting & Co. – can they knock “Prince Charming” off his throne next week?
The whole top ten continues to remain in very heavy rotation in cubland.
The longest runner on the chart with 12 weeks is the former number one single from “Visage” called “Visage” which falls to number 50 this week.

Next week could see new entries from:
Toyah, The Creatures, Devo, New Order, Thomas Dolby and Elvis Costello– stay tuned!

Bad Manners have a new entry at number 30 with "Walking in the sunshine":


Madness come straight in at number 22 with "Shut up!":


The Police are back and the highest new entry at number 6 with the moody "Invisible Sun":


Adam and the Ants climb up to Number One this week with "Prince Charming":

Really sorry about the delay this week (and reduced service this week) I've had a nightmare with my macbook, I don;t know what day it is half the time this week and I'm on holiday for next 2 weeks. Hopefully internet provision will be fine in Venice!

Bombs Away - Icehouse- We Could Get Together down 42 to #93
20 debuts this week! Two of those from the Police, In at #96 Everything She Does Is Magic & #65 Invisible Sun , the latter, which is the highest debut of the week.
