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.

Just 7 weeks after Kraftwerk became the first German band to make No 1 in the UK we now have a second German act to make the books as Goombay Dance Band make the expected move 2-1 (164,000) and it's an easy victory for the band as well as they were clear from the off with little doubt that they would triumph. That of course means that Tight Fit relinquish the top spot but as they slide 1-2 (110,000) which brings their total to 859,000, easily now the biggest hit of the year, and depending on how fast it drops potentially the first million seller of the 80s.

Although a long way of the top history suggests not writing off Julio Iglesias just yet. His last single "Begin The Beguine" topped the charts for a week in December 1981, now follow up "Quiereme Mucho (Yours)" powers 12-3 (79,000) this week, the title translates as "Love Me Much" and it seems the UK public currently wants to indulge Iglesias- could he sneak another No 1?

Though only together for under 2 years Derek and The Dominoes produced one album in their time and from that the track "Layla" made No 7 in 1972. Co-written by Eric Clapton about his unrequited love for George Harrison's then wife Pattie Boyd it has gone on to become something of a classic and for proof Boyd and Clapton of course married in 1978, the re-issue this year is the full version not the heavily edited cut which was made into a single in 1972.

Scottish pop is back this time courtesy of the Associates who have been knocking around since 1979 without troubling the charts but as they move onto Album No 3 "Sulk" due in May they find the magic bullet. "Party Fears II" this week floats 15-9 (52,000) for the northerners backed with an eccentric TOTP performance.

Outside of the new entries there are climbers for Imagination 8-4 (78,000) and Adrian Gurvitz 10-8 (56,000) whilst ABC hold at No 6 (64,000), falling down the listings however are Toni Basil 3-5 (71,000) and Haircut 100 4-10 (49,000).

THE EG RETROCHART TOP 40: Week Ending 27th March 1982

27_03_82b.jpg


EG's Chartdust: It's as easy as ABC for Poison Arrow, who end Soft Cell's reign at the top and keep Imagination at bay. A trio of singles move into the lower half of the Top 10, but the real action is between #11 and #20 with four brand new entries.

Toni Basil clings to a second week at number one as the margins narrow significantly in the top ten this week. Most of the climbers could be a potential number one next week, with Goombay Dance Band leading the charge as runner up this week. Imagination grab a second top ten hit after last single Flashback limped to only #29. Rod Stewart's third hit from current album Tonight I'm Yours becomes his second consecutive top ten.
