Just to get this back on the front page:
I'll be submitting my Retrochart for w/e 22/03/1980 tomorrow night and it's going to be an exciting one!

UK chart is bizarre this week. The Jam going straight in at number one is very impressive as it was still so rare back then. The otherwise highest new entry limping in at only #55!
I'll endeavour to get my chart in on time, even though "I've got enough on my plate!" haha.
Noooo, you can you can choose from thousands more:
A good way to look for additions to your own faves might be checking everyone else's personal charts from the previous week.
Not much movement except in the lower quarter of the Russronian Top 40; new entries for The Jam, The Clash, Dexys Midnight Runners - and possibly more significantly a re-entry for 'Atomic'. Could this signal the end of Donna's long-serving stint at #1 overall?

The Clash have two songs in the top 40 this week:
A new entry at number 33 with "Train in vain" which has just entered the US charts. It has been confirmed that no further singles will be released from their current album "London Calling" - and that's a real shame as it contains some gems! Meanwhile the title track climbs back up to number 26 this week:

There are seven singles in my Retrochart top 40 that are in the same position on the mainstream UK chart this week and that includes The Jam who go straight in at number one this week with "Going underground" which leaves Fern Kinney stuck at number two with "Together we're beautiful"
There are strong climbers in the top ten - The Vapors, Liquid Gold, Detroit Spinners, Martha and the Muffins and Genesis.
Down go Blondie, Peter Gabriel and Rainbow.
Surprise of the week for the second time is David Bowie who's "Alabama Song" is the biggest climber in the top 40 jumping up 17 places to number 23. All of a sudden it's really taken off!

I see what you did there…..
Popjustice Retrochart officials can confirm they have found no evidence so far of chart hyping.
It's like the Kenny Rogers saga all over again - why was my Retrochart the only one that included it?
