December 30, 200816 yr it was almost the end for Chic as a group, their last top 40 hit. 2 years earlier they had their first hit, a year earlier they were having their biggest hit (in terms of sales) with Le Freak and suddenly waned in popularity both here and in the US after Good Times. The Chic Organisation continued on though as they began to write and produce hits for other acts - Sheila & B Devotion here with the excellent Spacer and then their biggie, Diana Roass and Upside Down et al the following summer. The burgeoning ska movement was beginning to take hold, 2 Tone represented here by The Beat and former 2 Toners Madness were at #22 and #54 (the latter a new entry with their new single My Girl). Then it seemed like 2 Tone were releasing a new single every two or three weeks - next up was Too Much Too Young by The Specials, a number one. Other acts on other labels appeared too - notably UB40 a couple of months later with Food For Thought. The whole 2 Tone / ska movement soon peaked and faded though with few acts achieving any sort of long career - the Specials imploded a year later and split after Ghost Town, though some of the group remained and continued to release singles under a variety of names. Only Madness and UB40 had lasting success. The oddest guest appearance on the chart must be on Kurtis Blows debut hit single, Christmas Rappin' - it featured the spoken voice of the then editor of Music Week at the start of the song! The B side, an instrumental version, seems to have been the immediate inspiration for Another One Bites The Dust by Queen though the inspiration for the music on Christmas Rappin itself was the ubiquitous Good Times (also featured on Rapper's Delight in this chart).
