It seems to be a time for covers at the moment. The Damned with Eloise at #2 and we also have 2 of the new entries being cover versions and one a 4-year-old re-issue that rips off another song.
Do You Believe In Love was written by Robert 'Mutt' Lange and was a US top 10 hit for Huey Lewis & The News in early 1982. It clearly appears to rip off parts of ELO's "Sweet Talkin' Woman" and at the time of 1982 I rejected it for that reason. The original release of "The Power Of Love" had a different catalogue number and had "Bad Is Bad" as the flip-side. Therefore it is incorrect to assume that DYBIL was also a hit in 1985.
The Bangles enter with Manic Monday, which is another cover version, the original being by Prince and recorded with Apollonia but then not released and given to the Bangles.
Madness have done a few cover versions before. This one is a cover of Scritti Politti.

Fixed it. Usually I write them the other way (title first) but on the 1986 retro chart I write it artist first.
One of your typical cases of an American act with one big hit, one smaller hit then disappeared without a trace.

I actually bought the follow up album although they went a bit more synth based on it but 'Something Real ' was a top 5 hit in my chart |

18th February 1986
5 weeks on top for the mighty a-ha, keeping The Damned at 2, the same position the Barry Ryan original reached in the UK chart, and one place lower than it reached in mine. Kate Bush is the highest new entry, outdoing Cloudbusting and making it 3 top 10's in a row, with the exciting and brilliant Hounds Of Love, candidate for my fave Bush track. PIL get another top 10 3 years on from the last one, 8 years on from the first one, and 9 years on since The Sex Pistols burst onto my charts for Johnny Rotten.
Billy Joel has a double 70's oldies blast from the past, one having been uncharted at the time (but fab) and the other having been under-appreciated by me in 1978 (Just The Way You Are). 16 is still an under-rating for both songs. Hot Chocolate return for the last time, 16 years on from their amazing run of singles, though not one of their better efforts sadly. Starship and Mr. Mister get quick follow-ups, and the fab Blow Monkeys debut with the equally fab Digging Your Scene, the first CD single I ever bought (OK technically it was a later maxi single featuring a lesser Blow Monkeys single as the lead track, but I bought it for Digging Your Scene). CD's were on the way...
The mad, glam, and Mad Max-styled Sigue Sigue Sputnik debut with the unusual Love Missile F1-11. I liked it for being different to anything else, and they were having a laugh. It's a Hi-De-Hi to comic actor Su Pollard not being very amusing in song, and it's a Heeeere's Johnny to Prefab Sprout too.
