I'm only 31 years old, so I couldn't have personal charts in 1983.
For completing retro weekly charts I used the singles charts from United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Netherlands, Austria, Sweden, Belgium, Norway, Switzerland, United States and Eurovision Song Contest with pre-selections. Also I add some flopped singles from my favourite singers / groups of this era (maybe even missed something).
16.01.1983 : Week # 3 01. (01) Marga Scheide & Deuce - One, Two, Three... Bananas (4 weeks) [3rd week at # 1] 02. (02) Bucks Fizz - If You Can't Stand The Heat (8 weeks) 03. (03) Lori Spee - Good News Bad News (9 weeks) 04. (NE) Bennet & Bee - Put That Pretty Smile Upon Your Face (1 week) 05. (04) Renee & Renato - Save Your Love (12 weeks) 06. (06) Leslie Pearl - If The Love Fits Wear It (10 weeks) 07. (05) Anita Meyer - The One That You Love (4 weeks) 08. (09) Prelude - City Tonight (12 weeks) 09. (12) Flirts - Passion (2 weeks) 10. (08) Nickerbocker & Biene - Hallo Klaus (I Wu Nur Zruck Zu Dir) (9 weeks) 11. (13) Guys n' Dolls - I Heard It On The Radio (7 weeks) 12. (14) Mari Wilson - (Beware) Boyfriend (10 weeks) 13. (07) Patricia Paay - Tomorrow (5 weeks) 14. (11) Tight Fit - I'm Undecided (15 weeks) 15. (10) ABBA - The Day Before You Came (13 weeks) 16. (17) Babe - Together In Love Again (14 weeks) 17. (18) Corry Konings - Het Is Allemaal Gelogen (8 weeks) 18. (16) Mary Black - Rose Of Allendale (14 weeks) 19. (25) Ann Williamson & Roly Daniels - Like Strangers (2 weeks) 20. (15) Jackie Love & Simon Gallaher - My Friend (13 weeks) 21. (24) Annie Haslam & Nevada - In The Bleak Midwinter (2 weeks) 22. (19) Mari Wilson - Just What I Always Wanted (19 weeks) 23.

I've often had a "what if I had a chart in the 1960s.." moment. And even considered whether to retrospectively start compiling charts from an earlier period, potentially starting 1960 or 1961. I have the same thoughts, retrospectively start compiling charts from an earlier period, potentially starting with 1952 ("the alternative vision" on UK Singles Chart). For me it's more interesting, than listen modern music with very small chances to find any pure pop music, which I will be like.
