Haven Combi Retro-Chart W/B 28th October 1984

HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 28th OCTOBER 1984

The expectation was high for Duran Duran’s new single, ‘The Wild Boys’, having previously amassed a record-breaking five number one songs, with their last one, ‘The Reflex’ even making its debut at number one.


However it’s a fifth week at the summit for Giorgio Moroder and Philip Oakey with ‘Together In Electric Dreams’. They’re showing a further reduction in points, and for the first time since it charted it’s not featured on every chart as it drops off Rubcale’s chart. It’s still enough though to retain the chart crown for a fifth week and even with a decent gap over the rest of the pack.







Alison Moyet and Wham! trade places behind ‘Electric Dreams’ as Alison Moyet, like Wham! before her, registers two consecutive number two songs.


So, Duran Duran can only make it in at number four.  The big question for the week is whether Giorgio and Philip can hang on for a sixth week – something which has never been done before on the Retro-Chart, or will they be overhauled? Duran Duran are looking to extend their tally of number one’s to six whilst Alison Moyet is hoping for her first solo number one……


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

My featured track is this Andy Partridge penned song (which sounds like the Police on a great day) about the aftermath of Planet Earth after a Nuclear World War which peaked at UK #99, as it received no airplay due to its very dark subject matter.

I'm also charting them separately as loved both at the time, maybe where it is charted together, half the points over both songs? Up to you Kingpin

Fine with me, sounds like a good idea!

Feel free to chart these songs individually and I'll allocate the points and chart them separately.

If they appear as a double A side in any charts I'll spread the points across the two tracks.

A 5th week on top for "Together In Electric Dreams" and that's the only single so far in 1984 to have stayed at #1 in my chart for that long.

The highest new entry is the 3rd single of the year for Depeche Mode, which is only one of two singles entering the UK top 40 this week (and Gary Numan did actually climb!). It's listed as a double A-side but I only remember Blasphemous Rumours.
