__________________________________________________

I said the chart had to come to life a bit and we see a lot of movement near the top. On the new entries front, surprisingly Musical Youth get the highest entry. Needless to say it is not the same as the Rick Astley (Stock Aitken Waterman) song. S/A/W will make their debut as songwriters here in 1984, a year in which the Thompson Twins will achieve incredible success. They make their debut this week with "Love On Your Side" which samples a bit of their previous single "In The Name Of Love" (which didn't chart). Icehouse provides our 3rd new entry.

Anyone want to predict what will be my #1 next week? (Remember also I am one UK chart ahead of the one above).

Looking forward to them!

One of my brothers was nuts on Helen Shapiro - he always said she made better quality records after the hits dried up.

Can we do it better ?

we've already done better here picking Wah! over Men At Work.

[PLAYER]

Yea exactly we've had Wah and now The Belle Stars both of which weren't UK number 1s. We didn't want an exact replica of the main chart, of course it is going to similar but to see different artists peak higher gives us an indication of what Haven posters liked back then. For those of us that weren't around then it gives us a chance to create personal charts from a great period in music.

[Earl Purple]

We've given Duran Duran 3 number ones in 1982 but now they're shortly going to get a UK #1 but I have a sneaking suspicion it will mark the end to their run here.

In the UK chart Bonnie Tyler kept out Eurythmics. We'll see which of them succeeds on here. "Sweet Dreams" won the Haven poll for best song from Scotland but will she lose out to the diva from Wales?

[PLAYER]

I've got a feeling it will be the Eurythmics, I like both songs but I think the latter has aged better.
