HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART FOR W/B 9th DECEMBER 1984

For only the second time in Retro Chart history we have a new entry go in at number one. Following Duran Duran’s instant number one in April with ‘The Reflex’, charity supergroup Band Aid debut at the top with ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’




The victory wasn’t as clear cut as in the Official Chart though, it was a very close battle with outgoing number one ‘The Riddle’, with only four points between the two songs. In the run up to Christmas can Band Aid consolidate their lead?


Wham! enter at number 7 with ‘Last Christmas’, and also further down the chart at number 21 with ‘Everything She Wants’


There’s also a huge climb for another Christmas song as Gary Glitter moves 24 places with ‘Another Rock and Roll Christmas’


And here's this week's retro-chart in full:

Many thanks for the usual ten charts from: TheThorne , Shireblogger , rubcale , o , raliverpool , smokeyb , coolchristie2 , Mark and Earl Purple

OK, I've put up the next two weeks Official Charts. I think for the first time since we've been doing this the Official Chart isn't frozen over Christmas week.

I'm going to struggle for time during January as it's year end at work, so I'm intending to do the full and individual year end charts before the end of the year (during the period between Christmas and New Year, when it'll be a bit quieter)

Which means that with two weeks of charts still to go in 1984, you can either:

Post W/B 16th December and I'll freeze your chart for W/B 23rd December
OR post both weeks here

There's not really many new entries in either week, so it's up to you and how much time you've got.  I'm probably going to post two weeks of my own charts, so I'll be posting up both retro charts anyway.

If you can post up your chart(s) by Wednesday or Thursday that would really help

Cheers Kingpin, your hard work is greatly appreciated, I hope you have a great Christmas a relaxing new year.

[Kingpin]

No probs and Happy Christmas to you too!
