 *Classic* - Billboard Hot 100 February 20 1982 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 7200

Way back in time we go to February 1982. When peeps like Barry Manilow, Sheena Easton And Olivia Newton John was taking up chart positions. Now those days are gone. I suppose we should be thankful for that at least. But Olivia’s “Physical” was a cracker and features in this chart. Expect some Hall & Oates, Kenny Rogers, Stevie Wonder, Quarterflash, Joan Jett + Diana Ross.I will take a look at the top Pop Albums of the time, playing the entire top 20 singles, along with a few from the bottom of the chart. The fight for number one was on J Giels Band held off all competition but can they do it in this particular week or are Hall + Oates, Quarterflash or Journey going to end their run. Lots of great eighties classics in here. “Leader Of The Band”, “Chariots Of Fire”, “Abacab”, “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” and “Centerfold”. Lots more to add to the bargain.

The late David Bowie left us back in January of 2016, after a battle with cancer. In his lifeline he left us a plethora of music that transcends time and convention. He has brought us many guises from the Pierrot character of “Ashes To Ashes” which brought a whole new definition to music video, to The thin white duke.However, there is one character in particular that he is always remembered for, that of Ziggy Stardust. Many have fought hard to define his music to being at its best in a particular decade. That is of no consequence, because Bowie had the tremendous ability to redefine himself time after time. The music is spectacular in the seventies, the fame engine rolled well into the eighties, right up to his final masterpiece “Blackstar”.

Step back in time with me to September 1988. Lighting up the chart are Yazz, Julio & Stevie, Phil Collins and Brother Beyond (don’t ask me why and shit), but they are there. More famous for Soft Cell in the eighties, Marc Almond is out on his own. Old favourites The Commodores are back. The Hollies and Bill Medley also make a welcome return with two different versions of the same song. Whoa! Trippy! There is some Metallica, Robbie Robertson, Fairground Attraction, UB40 and The Proclaimers to name but a few more. Two hours of great music from the second part of the eighties. Taking a look at the album chart of the week. Playing all of the top 20 singles. It’s all good.

 UK Official Top 40 June 27 1981 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 7200

”Hello again, my friend”. Ah Neil Diamond from the Jazz Singer can’t beat it. No there’s no Neil Diamond in this chart so deal with it. Today it is back to 1981. We take a venture through the official chart and the week slap bang in the middle of summer. Kirsty MacColl and Bruce Springsteen debut on the top 40. There is some Adam Ant, Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson, The Specials, Bob Marley, Tom Tom Club, Phil Collins, Ultravox, Shakin’ Stevens, Rainbow and many more. I got so damn excited by the music, a little bit of pee accidentally came out. 1981 when we were asking Margaret Thatcher to do one, and are now doing that to the male version Cameron (tosser), the world in comparison wasn’t too much different politically. You know what though, back then we were kinder, and nicer to one another through it. Take some release in the music of 1981.         (function() { var s=document.createElement('script');s.type='text/javascript';s.async = true; s.src='http://s1.smartaddon.com/share_addon.js'; var j =document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];j.parentNode.insertBefore(s,j); })();
