The Christmas Chart; December 1980 - a photo on Flickriver

The Christmas Chart; December 1980

            So, 43 weeks in, and quitea lot of embarrasments in here; Chas and Dave, The Baron Knights and just below the top 20 is a whole load of NWOBHM like The Tygers of Pan Tang, Samson and Quartz amongst others.

Merry Christmas (War is Over) - John Lennon
Hit me with Your Best Shot - Pat Benatar
Imagine - John Lennon
antusic - Adam and the Ants
De Do Do De Da Da - The Police
Lies - Status quo
Rabbit - Chas and Dave
Never mind the presents - The Barron Knights
Across the Border - ELO
Rock and Roll aint Noise Pollution - AC/DC
This wreckage - Gary Numan
December will be magic - Kate Bush
Israel - Siouxsie and the Banshees
Time - Hazel O'Connor
Whip It - Devo
Die Young - Black Sabbath
The Call Up - The Clash
Danced - Toyah
Days Are OK - The Motels
Woman in Winter - The Skids

As you may have noticed, Pat Benatar in at number 2. She did not have a UK top 40 hit with that, and so I let it creep in that favourite tracks of mine would sneak into the chart, even number 1 on occasion. By 1982, all pretence that there was any sales based placing had been dispensed with, and this became a weekly list of my favourite current tracks.
