2NG's retro chart is Aug 1981 -- OMFG I haven't heard Debbie Harry's "Backfired" in a dog's age.
Kate Bush, "Sat in Your Lap" is NTM. I know a lotta guys who'd've liked a lap dance from Kate back in the day.
One for the Song-title-is-the-group-name list: "Visage" by Visage.
obscure Siouxie: "Arabian Nights"
eeek: Enigma (not the '90s group that did "Sadeness", but an '80s Stars-on-45-style medley outfit) with a godawful clap-track compendium of then-recent hits. Truly worthless. There were SEVEN (!) such medley records in the Top 40 that week. A plague, for sure.
Wow: UB40's "One in Ten".
uber-wow: Bill Wyman, "Je Suis Un RockStar"! mais oui!
woo hoo: Spandau Ballet, "Chant #1 (I Don't Need This Pressure)"
Aneka's "Japanese Boy" -- soon to be a UK #1 -- is the rarity of the week. And Human League's "Love Action", which we in the USA wouldn't hear until the following year, is at #3. This is Phil talkin'!
