First out the blocks this week!
Before I reveal this week's HMV Retrochart - the Makers and Shakers - are these songs in your Retrochart yet?

Number 50 - new entry for Floy Joy (named after a Supremes song) and their excellent new single called "Operator":

 

Number 49 - new entry for Village People who are back with a new "Safe sex" message on their new single called "Sex over the phone" (please make a note of the phone number!):

 

Number 48 - new entry for Killing Joke who return after a lengthy absence with the wonderful "Love like blood":

 

Number 42 - new entry for Hall and Oates and another great single from the duo called "Method of modern love" - let's hope this cracks the UK Mainstream Top 40!:

"Dreams are made of a different stuff
Emanating in a method of modern love
Present tense, past time behind
Don't fall for the same old line"

 

Number 40 - new entry for Lloyd Cole and the Commotions and "Are you ready to be heartbroken" - no UK single release date yet - but it's really taken off in Cubland!

"You can hardly stand
Lean over on the bookcase
If you really want to get straight
Read Norman Mailer
Or get a new tailor"
