It's not "Waltz Of" either! OMD is The Waltz Joan Of Arc - no "of". This was a retitled album track. It was called Joan Of Arc but to avoid confusion with the previous single of the same name was renamed Maid Of Orleans (The Waltz Joan Of Arc) - meaning it was the Waltz version, nothing to do with Joan waltzing!

Japan - European Son

Gidea Park is a US entry of a UK hit.


1 NEW ABBA - When All Is Said and Done
Criminal that this was a US single but not UK.

2 1 The Human League - Don't You Want Me?
3 2 The Human League - Being Boiled
4 NEW XTC - Senses Working Overtime
5 NEW Japan - European Son
6 NEW Rhoda with The Special AKA - The Boiler
One of the most unusual top 40 hits to this day. A spoken account of a woman's rape experience. They used to cut it off before the upsetting part on the top 40 countdown.

7 3 Altered Images - I Could Be Happy
8 4 The Stranglers - Golden Brown
9 NEW OMD - Maid Of Orleans (The Waltz Joan Of Arc)
10 5 David Bowie - Wild Is The Wind
11 6 Foreigner - Waiting For A Girl Like You
12 NEW Theatre Of Hate - Do You Believe In The Westworld?

13 13 Kratfwerk - The Model/ Computer Love
14 NEW Daryl Hall and John Oates - I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)
15 NEW The Anti-Nowhere League - Streets Of London
Ralph McTell punked!

16 7 Jon and Vangelis - I'll Find My Way Home
17 8 Adam and The Ants - Ant Rap
18 9 The Mobiles - Drowning In Berlin
19 NEW Tommy Tutone - 867-5309/ Jenny

That might well be what they did on other radio stations or on weekday chart features - but on the Sunday evening chart show on Radio One, Tommy Vance did not play any of it at all in either of the two weeks during which it was in the top forty.

Pity. There's a good three minutes before you get anything remotely adult.
