Remembering the music of 1981, week by week, in 2021. New releases, new entries, new number 1s, plus indie favourites and album cuts, all from this week 40 years ago.
Week 4: 26 January - 01 February
1. Teardrop Explodes - Reward. Another strong new release and bubbling under the charts after its release last week.
2. The Passions - I'm In Love With a German Film Star. Released last week and just outside the Top 40 this. Not their first single but would become their one and only hit.
3. Spandau Ballet - Another new release and its the highest new entry on the Top 40 this week at no.24.
4. The Jam - That's Entertainment. released as a single on the Continent only, but copies were finding their way into the UK, much to The Jam's chagrin.
5. XTC - Sgt. Rock (Is Going to Help Me). Third track from 1980 album Black Sea is another chart entry at no.36 this week.
