Hi Sergej, :)

 

Never heard that Peter Kent track, quite jolly. He looks like a young Hugh Jackman :lol:

 

Secret Service is a flop record I bought, you're the first person I've come across that even knows it!

 

Blondie's Call Me never quite topped my chart, criminally, so good to see it on top in yours, and Rock Lobster enter high, Coming Up top 10.

 

Air Supply Lost In Love is another UK flop I was mad on, still love it! EW&F on top is a surprise, one of theirs I've mostly forgotten, though I pretty much liked everything they did.

 

Nice to see Crying top 5, good to see Fame enter 2 years earlier than the UK got into it, Billy Joel topping your chart, Xanadu almost doing it, ditto magic, and Abba in at 14 - hope it tops! :)

 

So many re-entries in a quite volatile chart, I think my early charts were equally volatile, must be an age think :lol:

 

B-)

I didn't realise the Goombay Dance Band had so many releases, only ever heard the no1 they had on totp in the 1981 repeats?

Hi John!

Secret Service have two hit songs, with "Ten O'Clock Postman" still playing on Oldie radio stations in Germany.

Glad that you like "Call Me" as my #1, as well as for Billy Joel, also the top 10 for "Coming Up", the hit for "Lost In Love", "Fame" and "Crying".

You will like the next few charts for "Magic" and Abba, they could top the chart.

Also it's Earth & Fire that's at the top, not Earth, Wind & Fire. Just saying.

My charts were always crazy like that!

Thank you for your comment!

The Goomday Dance Band are very popular in Germany. That's why they got many hits!

Thank you for your comment!

Olivia Newton-John makes it to the top with "Magic" out of the Xanadu Soundtrack. ABBA gain twelve big places with "The Winner Takes It All" at #2, meanwhile "Upside Down" by Diana Ross gains a place at #6.

No wonder I'd forgotten it! :D I never heard it! :lol:

great top 3, all chart-toppers in the real world!

 

He's So Shy is one I bought, a forgotten Pointer Sisters decent track.

No wonder I'd forgotten it! :D I never heard it! :lol:

The song was huge in 1980 in Germany and still heard on oldie radio stations in Germany! So no wonder why most people never heard it.

Lovely to see 'The Winner Takes It All' got to number 1, one of only two they got in the 80s. One of their classics!
