UK Singles Charts: 1985 (including chart panel sales)

Relax x Two Tribes - 17

[radcl]

I remember hearing "He's The One" (star Sisters) and "On The Air Tonight" (Willy Finlayson) as radio spots for Bruno Brookes on Radio One.

Willy Finlayson is back! Presumably night time radio got behind it again EDIT: confirmed in Music Week, several local stations as well as Radio 1. It has the same amount of Radio 1 plays as Commodores' Nightshift. https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Mus...85-01-26-I.pdf (page 24)
Shame it didn't have same kind of sales.

[radcl]

two favourites from that time (but not the only ones):

Who Comes To Boogie - Little Benny & The Masters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfuVl1-CVCA
The Go Go Anthem

Here I Come (Broader Than Broadway) - Barrington Levy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3epH_KNnwYE
The Top Selling Reggae Single - No. 2 on Capital Radio's Hitline

Interesting to note Billy Bragg's original 'A New England' scraping an appearance at 184 in the wake of Kirsty's cover being on the climb. Much prefer her take on the tune, although I was never destined to be a BB fan really.

141 -Seasons in the sun-re-entry (only 2 weeks?) or this is maybe some new 80s version??
Famous european electro hit Woodpeckers from space fall down,but in october '85 reach new high position-72.

I'm surprised that it's credited as A New England. The single charted on the indie chart as St Swithin's Day as that is the a side. Though people were buying it for the b side A New England. As far as i can see, it should be credited as both https://www.discogs.com/master/27918...-A-New-England


Some info on this release from a Discogs contributor:

Billy was adamant in refusing to allow singles to be released from his first two albums. In an attempt to get around this, his record label Go! Discs had their distributor Chrysalis Records press up this single in Germany in the hope that it would be imported in sufficient numbers to get into the charts.

I imagine that's what was logged by Gallup as that's what comes through on the sales reports. I do agree it's a bit odd though!

This is not a new 80's version per say - this one is on the Old Gold label (OG 9119). The original was issued in 1974, with the Old Gold issue launched in 1981, 1982 and 1985. I felt it unlikely shops would be buying the 1974 pressing to stock and sell when there was a 1985 pressing to stock and sell, so linked to that cat number.

The Old Gold issue was virtually a double A side as it had Jacks' other big hit, 'If You Go Away', on the flip.

The B side of the original '74 single was an intriguingly titled (but rubbish) track called 'Put The Bone In'....

I've never cared much for 'Seasons In The Sun' but quite like 'If You Go Away'.

I remember seeing this Old Gold release on the counter of one of my local record shops back around 1985. The series of releases used to be housed in a special Old Gold special presentation box. Another Old Gold release I remember seeing is 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling / Unchained Melody' by The Righteous Brothers and that release has an extended top 200 chart run in the late 80s, mainly due to the use of the former song in the film "Top Gun".

[rollo]

I see we finally lost Blue Monday on 19 January, after 89 non-stop weeks either on or starred out of the chart. Not to worry, it will be back in a week or two...!

Dead Or Alive finally make the top 40 after three months on the charts...

Dead Or Alive finally make the top 40 after three months on the charts...

It was played at the reception of my nephew's wedding I was at last Saturday and it filled the floor, given the 'couple or three' drinks I had consumed by that time I didn't spin round too much or I would have landed on my a** !

[Gambo]

^ At least you came out of the experience Alive not Dead MrT...

I didn't know there'd been a separate choral version of 'I Want To Know What Love Is' released not long after the far-better-known Foreigner vocal. It debuts at No 115 this week.

Shame 'Overkill' took a dive after a promising climb to No 99. I wonder whether it will reappear later in '85 or in future years as 'The Bill' was a serialised drama back then, not an ongoing soap as it became from about 1988. The 'EastEnders' original instrumental theme is released mid-Feb; it will make the 100 but not until mid-March, so it'll be interesting to see if it has a more leisurely extended climb from within the 200 towards its surprisingly lowly peak of 76.

[Metalweb]

At 111, John Fogerty allegedly plagiarising his own 'Run Through The Jungle'......

[Blondini]

I didn't know there'd been a separate choral version of 'I Want To Know What Love Is' released not long after the far-better-known Foreigner vocal. It debuts at No 115 this week.

the same choir that's on the original! How weird. It was their presence on the original that enabled the song to chart on the US Billboard r and b chart!

Just a reminder that the next chart (23 February 1985) will be posted on Monday.

166 debut-They Say It's Gonna Rain-good dance track.In original version (Kerry) didn't reach top 100,but covered in Hi-NRG style by Hazell Dean-#58 in october same year.
Great to see ''Let the night...'' makes a super jump with 50 places up.

It's a bit of a spoiler but I'm afraid that's as high as it gets. I'm very surprised it never made the top 100 as it was quite a popular track in nightclubs back in 1985.

Absolutely.The song deserves top 100 place.First time i heard the original maybe after 2000.In my country the song was popular in this BG adaptation

Would it be possible to add links to the previous years in the first post of this one? Would be handy if someone is trying to find something in one of them.
