So Kim Carnes equals the record set by Ultravox only a few months ago with a 7 week run at the top. Will she set the record next week and be the first 2 month chart topper?

Seven weeks, crikey. How very Billboard Hot 100 of us.

 

[Ironheade]

And in about a month, we've got another one coming that can probably do the same (as long as @cityofdoomsday starts charting it not long after we do). The Big 80's are truly beginning now!

^ I'm assuming you are referring to the classic british #1 rather than either of the two US Hot 100 behemoths coming up?

Yep, I am. Although one of those two US behemoths will be getting some love on my chart still.

Chartfile:

Kim Carnes makes it seven weeks at the summit with "Bette Davis Eyes" - can she makes it eight weeks? Vangelis is stuck at number two as The Specials shoot up to number three with "Ghost Town" Adam and the Ants are stuck at number four. Going up are Ultravox, Phil Collins and Bob Marley and the Wailers. Heading down are Smokey Robinson, Toyah and Kim Wilde. Will "Bette Davis eyes" make it eight weeks for a record? Stay tuned!
