Who remembers the albums in 1980?... w/k ending 29th March 1980 01 01 TEARS AND LAUGHTER - JOHNNY MATHIS 02 02 TELL ME ON A SUNDAY - MARTI WEBB 03 03 GOLD - ROSE ROYCE 04 05 REGATTA DE BLANC - POLICE 05 04 STRING OF HITS - SHADOWS 06 25 GLASS HOUSES - BILLY JOEL 07 06 GET HARRY - ELVIS COSTELLO 08 08 NOBODY`S HERO - STIFF LITTLE FINGERS 09 12 HEARTBROKEN - MATT MONRO 10 28 12 GOLD BARS - STATUS QUO 11 16 OUTLANDOS D`AMOUR - POLICE 12 22 SINGLES ALBUM - CRYSTAL GAYLE 13 07 LAST DANCE - VARIOUS ARTISTS 14 19 DOWN ON EARTH - RAINBOW 15 09 OFF THE WALL - MICHAEL JACKSON 16 11 EAT TO THE BEAT - BLONDIE 17 18 THE SPECIALS - THE SPECIALS 18 15 GOLDEN COLLECTION - CHARLEY PRIDE 19 NE LOUD AND CLEAR - SAMMY HAGAR 20 10 THE PRETENDERS - PRETENDERS A right mix bag in 1980, in what would have been the Mothers Day week. With easy listening meets rock! Would it be impossible for JOHNNY MATHIS to have a number one album 28 years on? THE SHADOWS return also, to the singles chart. BILLY JOEL struggled with singles from GLASS HOUSES (DON`T ASK ME WHY was the first single from it, that flopped, followed by ALL FOR LEYNA that just scraped the top 40). STIFF LITTLE FINGERS did well for an alternative act The POLICE were also becoming the biggest sellers of 1980, and had 2 albums in the top 15, again. Further down the album chart, later 80s sucess followed for PSYCADELIC FURS at 24, and DEF LEPPARD, and ON THROUGH THE NIGHT was 21. 1980`s singles... w/k ending 29th March 1980 01 01 GOING UNDERGROUND - THE JAM 02 02 TOGETHER WE ARE BEAUTIFUL - FERN KINNEY 03 08 DANCE YOURSELF DIZZY - LIQUID GOLD 04 06 TURNING JAPANESE - VAPORS 05 03 TAKE THAT LOOK OFF YOUR FACE - MARTI WEBB 06 12 WORKING MY WAY BACK TO YOU - DETROIT SPINNERS 07 05 GAMES WITHOUT FRONTIERS - PETER GABRIEL 08 07 DO THAT TO ME ONE MORE TIME - CAPTAIN AND TENNILLE 09 14 STOMP - BROTHERS JOHNSON 10 16 ECHO BEACH - MARTHA AND THE MUFFINS 11 10 ALL NIGHT LONG - RAINBOW 12 13 CUBA - GIBSON BROTHERS 13 04 ATOMIC - BLONDIE 14 11 HANDS OFF SHE`S MINE - THE BEAT 15 18 SPIRT OF RADIO - RUSH 16 09 SO LONELY - POLICE 17 23 POISON IVY - LAMBRETTAS 18 27 TURN IT ON AGAIN - GENESIS 19 33 JANUARY FEBRUARY - BARBARA DICKSON 20 25 HAPPY HOUSE - SIOUXIE AND THE BANSHES 21 22 ANOTHER NAIL IN MY HEART - SQUEEZE 22 24 AT THE EDGE - STIFF LITTLE FINGERS 23 43 KING/FOOD FOR THOUGHT - UB40 24 30 DON`T PUSH IT DON`T FORCE IT - LEON HAYWOOD 25 36 LET`S DO ROCK STEADY - BODYSNATCHERS 26 15 AND THE BEAT GOES ON - WHISPERS 27 26 HOT DOG - SHAKIN` STEVENS 28 34 LOVE PATROL - DOOLEYS 29 NE LIVING AFTER MIDNIGHT - JUDAS PRIEST 30 29 TONIGHT I`M ALRIGHT - NARADA MICHAEL WALDEN The 2nd week at the top for the JAM in 1980. FERN KINNEY had been to the top with TOGETHER WE ARE BEAUTIFUL which had been a very minor hit in 79, for RICHARD ALLAN. LIQUID GOLD had problems after DANCE YOURSELF DIZZY when all follow ups sounded alike (but they did go into SONG FOR EUROPE in 1981, when they were beaten by BUCKS FIZZ). The VAPORS struck, and also had 2 minor follow ups. DETROIT SPINNERS went retro, with an olf FOUR SEASONS cover. MARTI WEBB was also in the stage version of TELL ME ON A SUNDAY consequencely getting a number 3 single. 6 years later she added the words for the HOWERDS WAY theme. CAPTAIN and TENNILLE kept TERRY WOGAN laughing as he referred to them as "CAPTAIN and TOENAIL". PETER GABRIEL finished with GENESIS years before, but here they were both in the top 20 seperately! RUSH had a surprise top 20 hit. GIBSON BROTHERS (they came from Martinique) re-issued CUBA as a double A with BETTER DO IT SALSA. Ska type reggae with the BEAT, and the BODYSNATCHERS. The LAMBRETTAS covered the COASTERS "POISON IVY". SQUEZZE, SIOUXIE and STIFF LITTLE FINGERS (all the s`s) had minor top 20 hits. SHAKIN` STEVENS had been around for years with the SUNSETS, here had his first hit. The DOOLEYS chart career was at an end, and JUDAS PRIEST wasn`t far to follow. Outside the 30, were some of my favs from, SECRET AFFAIR (MY WORLD) at 31, B.A. ROBERTSON was KOOL IN THE KAFTAN at 32, SAD CAFE had MY OH MY at 35, TONY RALLO was HOLDIN` ON at 34, and JOHN FOXX (formerly of ULTRAVOX) had NO ONE DRIVIN` at 36. As PRIMA DONNA won SONG FOR EUROPE this week in 1980, they later missed the top 40, and in EUROVISION got well beaten by JOHNNY LOGAN for Ireland (who himself, was born in Australia)! We are on to the big finish, the singles chart...physically this week...LEONA is 1, DUFFY is 2, ONE REPUBLIC are 3, UTAH SAINTS, and GIRLS ALOUD follow...On downloads it`s...ESTELLE at 1, DUFFY at 2, MADONNA at 3, FLO RIDA at 4, ONE REPUBLIC at 5...Put it together, and the following is arrived at, in the most up to date chart in Britain... w/k ending 28/03 40 NE SWEET LIKE ME - GABRIELLA CILMI 39 27 MY DESTINY - DELINQUENT 38 NE THIS SONG IS ABOUT YOU - THE ENEMY 37 22 CASSIUS - FOALS 36 32 VALERIE - RONSON/WINEHOUSE 35 25 GREAT DJ - TING TINGS 34 50 RUN - GNARLS BARKLEY 33 34 RULE THE WORLD - TAKE THAT 32 18 BEGINNING OF THE TWIST - FUTUREHEADS 31 17 GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE - ELBOW 30 29 PIECE OF ME - BRITNEY SPEARS 29 NE LOVE LIKE THIS - NATASHA AND SEAN 28 NE BLACK AND GOLD - SAM SPARRO 27 20 SUN GOES DOWN - DAVID JORDAN 26 30 CRANK THAT - SOULJA BOY 25 23 US AGAINST THE WORLD - WESTLIFE 24 28 JUST FOR TONIGHT - ONE NIGHT ONLY 23 24 WORK - KELLY ROWLAND 22 26 APOLOGISE - ONE REPUBLIC 21 19 WOW - KYLIE MINOGUE 20 NE GET OVER IT - GUILLEMOTS 19 12 SCREAM - TIMBALAND 18 21 CHASING PAVEMENTS - ADELE 17 11 DON`T STOP THE MUSIC - RIHANNA 16 14 WITH YOU - CHRIS BROWN 15 15 DENIAL - SUGABABES 14 13 9 IN THE AFTERNOON - PANIC AT THE DISCO 13 08 COME ON GIRLS - TAIO CRUZ 12 10 NOW YOUR`E GONE - BASSHUNTER 11 05 FASCINATION - ALPHABEAT 10 04 WHAT`S IT GONNA BE - H TWO 0 09 16 CAN`T SPEAK FRENCH - GIRLS ALOUD 08 09 SOMETHING GOOD - UTAH SAINTS VS VAN SHE 07 07 LOW - FLO RIDA 06 05 ROCKSTAR - NICKELBACK 05 03 STOP AND STARE - ONE REPUBLIC 04 NE 4 MINUTES - MADONNA 03 02 MERCY - DUFFY 02 01 BETTER IN TIME/FOOTSTEPS IN THE SAND (all downloads/single version tracks) 01 NE AMERICAN BOY - ESTELLE ESTELLE does it, with a single song, first heard on HIT40uk in January! She is 7,000 ahead of LEONA`s combination, and 11,000 ahead of DUFFY. Outside the chart further down... MANIC STREET PREACHERS are 47, ADDICTIVE/T2 are only 48 (what happened)? YAEL NAIM is 51, SCOUTING FOR GIRLS have 3 hits in this week, with SHE`S SO LOVELY and HEARTBEAT both top 60. BRITNEY, as well has 2, she is at 63 too. WILL I. AM, as well as CASSIE are both at the bottom of the top 75...all that, and the WOMBATS go back up the top 60, as well. Here to note, TING TINGS are actually the 48th biggest seller, of the year, so far (all though, relagated by the OCC)! But not mrib. Don`t forget Monday, may be a bank holiday, but we all work on Mondays whatever, so we will look into the future again, with NEXT WEEK`S CHART, when last week we told you first that ESTELLE, would be top 3, and GUILLEMOTS would be in the top 20!

March 21, 200817 yr Author My favourite tracks from the above chart Can't believe that year it was Mother's Day Weekend when on the same Weekend this year its Easter :o Yeah Mart!n, Easter in 80, was well into April! Looks like Estelle, is repeating just what Duffy did, and quite smashing in on Downloads alone, I think she can keep Madonna out, of the number one spot, in weeks to come :lol:
March 21, 200817 yr trevs: Ting Tings are #48 on the OCC Year To Date Chart despite never having actually being in the chart - I'm not quite sure why they are on the YTD chart when they were excluded from the weekly charts...
March 22, 200817 yr Author trevs: Ting Tings are #48 on the OCC Year To Date Chart despite never having actually being in the chart - I'm not quite sure why they are on the YTD chart when they were excluded from the weekly charts... Really? Isn`t that strange. It seems that Great DJ has had 34,000 takers, since release...whether that means freebies, as well as buyers, is another matter! It went to number 16, in the mrib weekly chart, but as far as I can work out, it would have only made number 21, on the official chart.
