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 6: 09 - 15 February
1. Beggar & Co – (Somebody) Help Me Out. UK jazz-funk outfit go along with the 'beggar' image for their TOTP performance this week. Watch out for them performing with another group later in the year.
2. New Musik - Luxury. Lead single from their upcoming album Anywhere, although will fail to meet the albeit modest success of last year's hits.
3. Toyah - It's a Mystery. From the band's Four From Toyah EP which will go on to give them (and her) their commercial breakthrough.
4. Steve Winwood - When You See a Chance. Only a minor hit for Winwood from his Arc of a Diver album, despite the gimmick release on the new cassette-single format on Island.
5. Sheena Easton - Take My Time. The face of 1980 breaks into the new year although alas will fail to make the same impact as last year.
