LP U2 - Party Girl (1LP 1 Under A Blood Red Sky) LP Culture Club - Colour By Numbers (2LP 1-2 Colour By Numbers) LP ABC - The Power Of Persuasion (1LP 3 Beauty Stab)
Claiming their first Retro Rewind number one is the new wave pop trio who according to Smash Hits magazine and Tom Hibbert (RIP) resembled a Geography teacher (Tom Bailey); Art teacher (Alannah Currie); & PE Teacher (Joe Leeway) with this midtempo synth pop ballad which peaked at UK #4, USA #3, Australia #3, & Canada #3. This lead single from the forthcoming Into The Gap album was co-produced by Tom Bailey with Alex Sadkin.
My highest new entry was never released as a single in the UK & Ireland for obvious religious & political reasons as its lyrics describe the horror felt by an observer of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, mainly focusing on the 30/01/1972 Bloody Sunday incident in Derry where British troops shot and killed unarmed civil rights protesters and bystanders. However it became a single in Europe where its two sides were taken from the Under A Blood Red Sky live album, and original War album track. Its top peak was Netherlands #3. But in the UK it got its biggest push after its incendiary performance at 13/07/1985 Live Aid.
The other track is the shortlived British synthpop project formed in 1983 in Basildon, England, by Vince Clarke (songwriting, keyboards, backing vocals) and Eric Radcliffe (songwriting, sound engineering, production). This was their only single which featured Feargal Sharkey of The Undertones on vocals and peaked at UK #4, and went top twenty throughout Europe.

My highest new entry is the Beatles-esque neo-classical ballad written about Boy George's then publicly unknown and rather turbulent relationship with drummer Jon Moss. This Colours By Numbers album track produced by Steve Levine reached UK #3, Australia #4, and #2 in Italy & Ireland. But it was never released as a single in North America.
The other track is the Scottish rock band's Steve Lillywhite produced lead single from their Sparkle In The Rain album. Showcasing a more rockier anthemic sound it made UK #13, Australia #19, Ireland #5, & #1 in New Zealand.

The other track is the self penned UK #82 minor hit which was the uch missed female singer/songwriter's first release after returning to Stiff Records. The music video featured an appearance from actor and comedian Ade Edmondson who played MacColl's rejected boyfriend who got her back after fighting off a rival man.

My highest new entry in my final Retro Rewind chart until sometime next year (probably February 2018 at the earliest) sees the saviour of TV:AM, and his pioneering Godfather of Grime UK #14 single (created, operated and voiced by David Claridge whom also did the same thing for all the puppets in The Young Ones).
My other featured track is the second single from the West Midlands rock band's eleventh studio album The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome became their biggest hit in a decade peaking at UK #2, USA #37, Canada #31, & Australia #65, and went top ten across Europe including #1 in Norway & Sweden.

You have caught up, I have a way to go but want to continue mine into 1977 at least for a while, but I also want to take a break and go back to January 1956 and head from there into 1960 when I will also overrun a few weeks due to the fact that my first few weeks of 1960 was made up or 1959 hits which will end up with a different run, but then it will mould into what the chart was.
I will definitely not go back further than January 1956. Rock Around The Clock was in the chart at that time and will be my first #1. Elvis makes his debut that year. Other rock and roll classics like Little Richard will get hits in my chart.
However as I'm midway through 1970 I don't want to abandon ship now so I will go back and fill in 1956-59 later, and I expect it will take no longer than one year to do those years as the charts were a lot slower.

I do not intend to go back that far, but if I did a chart for January 1949 my number one would no doubt be "When The Red Red Robin..", which was in the chart for Al Jolson, although it's the Billy Cotton version of the song I'm more familiar with.
Al Jolson recorded his version sometime around September 1926 so not sure what it's doing in the chart at all in January 1949, but it was so I would just chart it too.

Having got my Retro Rewind Charts all prepped up to the end of 1986, I reckon I will post a couple of these each day to gradually catch up.
My highest new entry is the Mike Reid banned UK #1 blockbusting hit by the Liverpool group produced by Trevor Horn.
My featured track is second single from the English rock trio's 1983 album Genesis which peaked at UK #16, USA #6, Canada #14 & Australia #62.
In recognition post Michael Jackson's Thriller album and record companies mining successful albums with several singles I have reduced the extra track to one a week which will either be an album track never released as a single; or a non album B-side.

LP Billy Joel - This Night (1LP An Innocent Man)
The New Zealand art rock group's love song was written by Neil Finn in tribute to his wife Sharon peaked at Australia #12 (their last of their 9 Australia Top 20 hits) tops my Retro Rewind chart.
Drummer Roger Taylor's penned synth rock lead UK #2, USA #16, Australia #2, Canada #11 & #1 in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, The Netherlands, & Sweden single from the British group's The Works album was lyrically a commentary on music television overtaking radio's popularity, and the adverse impact of pop videos (which is slightly ironic, but maybe not quite as ironic as Queen performing with Lady Gaga on a 2016 Australian concert on their Bohemian Rhapsody/Radio Gaga medley).

LP Pretenders - Time The Avenger (1LP Learning To Crawl)
The first featured track is by the New Wave group from Perth, Scotland with their UK #6, & top ten hit in Switzerland, Ireland, & Germany written by band members Eddie Jordan and Kevin Patterson.
My highest new entry this week is this UK #11 taken from the "Nutty Boys" fifth studio album, Keep Moving. It is unusual for the fact that lead vocals are sung not by Suggs, but by Chas Smash, who wrote the song with drummer Woody. More serious than most other Madness videos up to that point, the promo for Michael Caine was based on the actor's film The Ipcress File and the song tackles the subject of an IRA informer during the troubles in Northern Ireland. The 'my name is Michael Caine' sample was recorded by Caine himself, who was persuaded to do it by his daughter who was a fan of Madness.

LP Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson - The Man (1LP 1 Pipes Of Peace)
My highest new entry is the Paul Weller penned, Curtis Mayfield like sophisti-pop single (which was rerecorded as a piano & vocal only version for the Cafe Bleu album) which peaked at UK #5, USA #29, Canada #42 & Australia #70.
Essentially a duo comprised of vocalist John Adams and guitarist Morris Michael, Private Lives delivered angst-ridden tales of love and loss with slickly produced, often danceable and soulful new wave grooves a la Fiction Factory. Unlike Fiction Faction the EMI signed duo failed to land one big hit, the nearest to success came with this (5th of 7) blue eyed soul synth pop single stalling at UK #53.
