"Army Dreamers" climbs up to #4 as Madness remain at #1.
The highest entry is by Status Quo, a song that reached #2 in the UK, two places above the Adam & The Ants song that was #4 the same week but they went on to be a sensation within the next year. However Status Quo were still having hits for many more years, whereas Stuart Goddard's career faded somewhat faster.
"Dog Eat Dog" was the real breakthrough though. But "Ant Music", "Stand And Deliver" and "Prince Charming" are all better songs and expect to see those 3 do well on this chart, as well as "Goody Two Shoes" which was credited to just Adam Ant.
The Motels reached #42 with "Whose Problem" and then #41 with their next single and then never quite made it. So close!. Let's see how "Days Are Ok" do on this chart.
