2nd June 1985
Animotion climb on top with their fab single, as OMD shoot up with an equally fab minor UK hit which also did better in the USA. Propaganda get moving with speed as they have a Duel, rocketing to 14, which is the Icing On The cake for future Robbie Williams co-writer Stephen Duffy at 17. That famous movie theme is the highest new entry for Harold Faltemeyer, and keeping the European theme, nipping at his heels is Modern Talking and a terrific, if camp, eurodisco treat.
Bryan Adams original is still the best, again a huge USA hit, and big moves up to 30 here, but merely a minor UK hit as the UK singles chart was losing its way a bit in 1985. New Order are in, and at least grabbing a minor US hit (and UK flop) the Beach Boys return with a 60's-sounding goodie Getcha Back at 40. Roy Wood's back with a solo hit, 12 years on since his first, Brooooce keeps his Born In The USA singles coming, but I'm On Fire is the real gem of the 2 - I may drop USA from the double A side as it certainly wasn't the reason it got higher in my charts. Sister Sledge are back with new material - it's not exactly Chic-tastic - and Elton gets Millie Jackson on board for an aggressive little minor gem. Call it an Act Of War...!
