My featured video is the only studio track on the live album Arena, this was produced by Nile Rodgers, and featured the stunning near 8 minute Grammy, BRIT & MTV award winning video directed by Russell Mulcahy (& featuring dance choreography by Arlene Phillips) based on the 1971 novel The Wild Boys: A Book Of The Dead by William S. Burroughs which the Birmingham New Romantics based their song on. Ironic how these 1980s teen idols made a harder sounding, more aggressive, more out there musical statement than many so called hard rock bands manage today.

[Earl Purple]

Is that the title of the Duran Duran song? I have always thought it was just called "Wild Boys"
In any case, let's see if it can join their long list of #1s on this chart.

The OCC are often incorrect but the photo of the cover of the single confirms that the word "The" is in the title.

It wasn't written that way in my handwritten charts sheet I have for that period. You'll see how it gets on in my chart.

A fourth Top 5 hit for Cyndi Lauper (with another big song from She's So Unusual still to come) she debuts at number four with 'All Through The Night' Maybe it's just me but I always thought that Freiheit's 'Keeping The Dream Alive' sounds very similar to this.

Tough choice for track of the week. We have the Eurythmics' rejected soundtrack title cut, and a really fresh pop song from Level 42. But I've gone for the highly atmospheric version of the Cure's "A Forest" which appeared on their first live LP, released this week in 1984.

Duran Duran get the highest new entry. The word "The" is not in parentheses, but I have always just called it "Wild Boys" and that's how it's listed in on my handwritten chart from 1984 (which was rewritten a few years later on a new sheet of paper when the old one was too scruffy to read and was falling to pieces).

Jim Diamond has a familiar voice... yes, he's the "D" part of PhD. A one-hit wonder in my chart, but now only half a one-hit wonder. Chicago back with another ballad with so many key changes it's hard to keep up.

Now rejected by her own country, Sheena Easton gets another US hit. Iron Maiden continue to rock while Gary Numan puts out more weird stuff with synthesised backing. This entered the UK chart at #38 and you might expect it to drop out of the top 40 next week but one weird statistic of 1984 is that so far no singles have only spent one week in the top 40, so let's see if this one can keep it up.

coolchristie2 , you've got Prefab Sprout twice on your chart - numbers 11 and 15.  I'll probably update at some point tomorrow, so if you get chance before then feel free to correct.  Don't worry if not, I'll just treat as a Top 19.

Apologies - my bad and I wasn't in time to change it.
