w/e 29th March 1980

Post by Heston »

The best singles chart ever in the history of the world. Even 60s America couldn't compete with this lot...

TIL Heston is a serious Dr. Hook and Kenny Rogers fan. Very surprised by this.

It is good and some all time classics there but there are better charts ( couple of months earlier).

Another monster chart. I've come to the conclusion 1979 was the best year for albums, 1980 was best for singles.

My favourite Undertones song in there and a lowly place for the fantastic "Sanctuary" by New Musik.

Had to google sanctuary to remind myself how it goes, great tune. Always loved Living by Numbers too .

Their other hits "Straight Lines" and "World of Water" were great too. I think they would have done better but they had an image problem. When the frontman looks like Keith Harris and the bass player looks like Bob Carolgees you have a problem.

Ha! I've always wondered why some bands didnt make it bigger, whether it was just lack of promotion or whatever. Skids for example. Just one top 10 hit. Into the Valley and working for the Yankee dollar should have been cast iron top 3 minimum imo, but the latter barely made top 20. Inexplicable to me but there you go.
