12 10 06 Love Resurrection Alison Moyet 31,000

A real tussle at the top of the charts this week with Neil marginally ahead at the start of the week but it was TOTP that probably helped to swing it back to a Frankie Goes To Hollywood victory but only by 3,000 copies, “Two Tribes” running out on 94,000 to 91,000 but it’s definitely feeling the pressure and everything points to a new No 1 next week. The song also becomes the longest chart topper of the decade as it makes it 7 weeks, the last song to spend as long at No 1? “Summer Nights” back in 1978.

Jolly & Swain are back this time with Alison Moyet who co-writes her first solo single “Love Resurrection” which this week’s proves the only new blood in the top 10 as it glides 12-10 (31,000). Her debut album “Alf” is due before Christmas with its title being taken from her nickname, the single has moved 14-13-12 in recent weeks so is clearly struggling perhaps the addition promo of being in the top 10 can motivate it.

Once again this week’s climbers are Prince, Tina Turner, and Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel, but this week they are joined by the Bluebells. Prince slinks 5-4 (63,000) while the album “Purple Rain” arrives at No 21, Tina Turner impresses 6-5 (51,000) whilst her album shoots 10-5 to hit a new peak, and “White Lines” lifts 8-7 (42,000). The Bluebells improve 10-8 (36,000) whilst Frankie Goes To Hollywood hold at No 3 with “Relax” (70,000), and moving down the charts are Cyndi Lauper 4-6 (43,000) and Nik Kershaw 7-9 (33,000).

New thread up @Hairycub1969 !

 

[Hairycub1969]

It's Summer 1984 and before I reveal this week's HMV Retrochart - here are this week's Makers and Shakers:

Number 50 - new entry for A Bigger Splash and the summer sound of "I don't believe a word":

 

[Hairycub1969]

Number 48 - new entry for Tracy Ullman and her single for Summer 1984 called "Sunglasses" - now who are those "famous" people in the Music Video!?!

 

[Hairycub1969]

Number 47 - new entry for M+M (previously Martha and the Muffins - remember "Echo Beach" from 1980?) and their single about "Radio" Apartheid called "Black Stations, White Stations":


"She was black, he was white
A voice inside my car told me today

Black stations, white stations break down the doors
Stand up and face the music, this is 1984"

 

[Hairycub1969]

Number 46 - new entry for Rod Stewart with a song that Robert Palmer had a hit with in 1982 called "Some guys have all the luck":

 

[Hairycub1969]

Number 44 - new entry for The Farmers Boys who cover Cliff Richard for Summer 1984 with "In the country":

 

[Hairycub1969]

Number 42 - new entry for Talk Talk who are becoming more popular in Continental Europe than their native UK these days. This is the third single from their album "It's my life" and is called "Dum Dum Girl":
A beautifully shot video as well!
