Welcome

"Welcome to the sound of the eighties"

TOTP 80.27 04/09/80


Presented by DLT and Kevin Keegan so not repeated. Keegan's perm obviously considered too offensive in this day and age.



But anyway here's the full chart and the list of acts/songs featured:

Secret Affair - Sound of Confusion
Follow up to the rather spiffing My World, at no. 45 but did no better.

Kelly Marie - Feels Like I'm in Love
There's a new no. this week but this isn't it. up to no. 3.

Nick Straker Band - A Walk in the Park
Catchy summer hit at no. 22.

Hazel O'Connor - Eighth Day
Ironically beating Gary Numan to the No. 5 spot.

Billy Joel - It's Still Rock n Roll To Me - (Legs & Co.)
The Leggies are back after their brief summer holidays, in some exotic location, no doubt. Sadly we didn't get to see their routine to Joel's new one, now at no. 20.

Cliff Richard - Dreamin'
More male solo stuff with Sir Cliff at no. 10.

Sheena Easton - Modern Girl
With 9 to 5 already on its way down, Sheens gets to perform her other hit, now at no. 13.

The Beat - Best Friend
As mentioned last week it was probably Stand Down Margaret that was shifting the units on this 7" but here's the more acceptable and uncensored other A side. (promo video).

Randy Crawford - One Day I'll Fly Away
A touch of class is tonight's rather raunchy homegrown line-up. Have a look at the video recording here cos it's a bit of a classic.

The Jam - Start!
A surprising new no. 1 although the fanbase was huge by this time, which may explain its rather short reign. A lot of us heard Taxman for the first time too.

The Clash - Bankrobber
Up to no. 12 although The Clash were still no-show so you just get the the playout spot and loads of kids going mad on stage again, probably.
