Christmas is fast approaching but you wouldn’t know it from the charts, Chaka Khan tops the singles chart for a third week but her sales are now in decline with just 77,000 buyers being tempted. The song has now sold 394,000 copies and should clear half a million before the year end so not a bad result all in all, and she easily fought off the challenge from Jim Diamond who threatens 3-2 (65,000) with a TOTP appearance doing rather little to help him sales wise.

Nik Kershaw’s second album “The Riddle” is released this week and the title track has bounded 17-5 (48,000) to become a third top 5 hit for the singer this year. Much speculation has been done by fans on what exactly the lyrics mean and Kershaw is currently refusing to expand on the interpretation, the track is his most instant hit debuting higher than any other of his releases but the desire to push the album out before Christmas, whilst understandable, might harm the singles chances. We’ll wait and see.

6 straight top 10 in a row, not a bad record in any band’s discography and that’s the boast that the Eurythmics can now make. Approached by Virgin to record the soundtrack to the film “1984”, an interpretation of the George Orwell classic novel, Eurythmics have produced the goods with lead single “Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four)” which hurtles 24-7 (45,000) this week. The film is the subject of some controversy with director Michael Radford not keen on the tracks provided by the duo he has done a separate soundtrack, the film is available in two versions, a decision which has caused some rancor between the group and the director as they were unaware of Radford’s thoughts on their output. It seems the charts have vindicated Annie and Dave though.

Chicago are already up to their 14th studio album, for all that and despite a UK No 1 single back in 1976 with “If You Leave Me Now”, they’ve only hit the singles chart on five previous occasions, yet on four of those they went all the way to the top 10. So it proves again with “Hard Habit To Break” which arrives 11-8 (42,000) to become a first hit in over 24 months.

Limahl continues to inch closer to the top three as he glides 5-4 (50,000) as Billy Ocean finds himself stuck at No 6 (48,000). Heading out of the top 10 include Duran Duran 2-3 (57,000), Wham! 4-9 (41,000) and Status Quo 7-10 (38,000)

Next week sees the new Frankie single enter the charts- UK’s next No 1 seem assured……
