Hi there John!

 

Nice to see John Lennon get to #1 again, as well as seeing "Two Hearts" and "Wild, Wild West" reaching the top 10 at the end of the 1988 chart!

 

From your big gains I like "Buffalo Stance" and "Driving Home For Christmas" and from your debuts I like "You Got It" and "She Drives Me Crazy"!

 

I recently finished ending my 1980s charts too and I'll start with 1981 soon, maybe even with 1982.

 

Great chart overall!

 

Hi Sergej, thanks and look forward to your charts, 1980 is going to take longer than I thought, but I'll try and do some more though :D

Hey Pop!

 

Great chart as ever, nice to see Chris Rea in the top 20!

 

Love the final Fine Young Cannibals era, 3 classic singles!

Never like FLC. Couldn't stand his voice.

She Drives Me Crazy would be my favourite later FYC single and I think my favourite song from them.

 

It may have been the final FYC era but Londonbeat's Thinking About You in 1990 sounds very FYC in style I think.

oh sad to see this end... what will you tackle next?

Thanks Steve, yes a first but not last Chris Rea top 20 for the Xmas classic, I also loved FYC in this period too, I'd quite liked them before, but they improved no end, hit the big time...and then broke up!

I'm going to concentrate on 1971 (as I'll be posting my original charts top 20's on here, and doing a 50th anniversary in-depth weekly chart of top 75 on my wordpress blog, as I discover loads of stuff I didn't know at the time. I'd post them here but I don't think there's that much interest for the early 70's) and 1991 - I still have no chart listings of Artists and Top 100 "sales" for the period 1991-1994, I never had the time to do them (on paper, in those days) and never caught up when I switched to computer for my charts - which I used to do while revisiting a year at a time, playing the records and rating them. So they are long overdue! Also need to convert 1995-1997 into spreadsheets too.

 

If I get any spare time, I'll bung in the odd 1980 to get it done, and into 1981 after that, and start up my Top 800 (yet again!) - one day it'll get finished! I prob need to retire really to get cracking on these sort of projects :lol:
