LP Spandau Ballet - Snakes & Lovers (1LP Through The Barricades)
Debuting at #1 on my Retro Rewind Chart is The Queen Is Dead album cut which topped John Peel's Festive 50 of 1986. It is eligible in this chart due to it being released as a single in France ("Half A Person" was the B-side) where it reached #6. Now regarded as The Smiths signature tune it was "posthumously" released as a single in 1992 reaching UK #25 & Ireland #22.
My featured faller is the Jamaican icon with the Nile Rodgers co-written with Bruce Woolley & produced UK #56 & USA #69. The video was directed by Grace Jones herself, and wore body paint and outfits, including a huge black and white skirt; & a coned bra contraption years before Madonna "invented" it; as well as a host of cameo appearances!

LP Smiths - The Queen Is Dead (1LP The Queen Is Dead)
My highest new entry is the UK #43 & Australia #47 self produced third single & title track from his third studio album. It featured Level 42's Mark King on slap bass; Icehouse's Iva Davies on backing vocals. Lyrically it quite literally was Ahead Of Its Time in predicting how we consume music today.
My featured faller is this duet from Elton John's 1986 album Leather Jackets. It stalled at UK #44 & Australia #82. It deserved better IMHO.

LP Paul Simon - Under African Skies (1LP Graceland)Alf's first solo number one, after two Retro Rewind chart toppers with (Erasure's) Vince Clarke (in Yazoo) was penned by Eurythmics Dave Stewart under a pseudonym.
My featured faller is the post punk "Men In Black's" UK #48 & Ireland #28 single which according to lead singer Hugh Cornwell was written for The Pretenders (well I can imagine Chrissie Hynde singing this).
Peter Garrett's political Sydney rock band are my highest new entry with their Australia #4, USA #53, UK #62 lead single from their 1987 album, Diesel and Dust. The song deals with the mistreatment of indigenous Australians and the nonrecognition of indigenous cultures in Australia, and was part of efforts to raise awareness of Australia's Stolen Generations - the forcible removal of Australian Aboriginal children from their families between 1909 and the 1970s.

My highest new entry is the True Blue album cut which Patrick Leonard co-wrote and co-produced the song, based on the Bruce Gaitsch Cuban themed instrumental which had first been offered to and rejected by Michael Jackson. The final single from the album topped the charts in the UK, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Iceland, and Switzerland while reaching the top 5 in Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, and the United States; as well as Australia #6.
My featured fallers once had Madonna as their support act on their first US headlining tour; released as the lead single from their sixth studio album Close to the Bone it stalled at UK #66, USA #31 & Canada #78.
