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 12: 23 - 29 March
1. Ultravox - Slow Motion. Re-release of Foxx-era single, riding on the wave of Vienna. Into the Top 40 at no.35.
2. Bucks Fizz - Making Your Mind Up. UK's Eurovision entry for this year is into the charts this week an on TOTP.
3. Orange Juice - Poor Old Soul. In the indie charts and on the Peel show. Their debut session from last year also gets a repeat this week.
4. Leve Lovich - New Toy. Still looking for a successful follow-up to '79's Lucky Number and Say When, this new one is at 54 this week (and on TOTP), although sadly gets no further.
5. Status Quo - Never Too Late. Title track from the Quo's new album, straight into the charts this week at no.2.
This week's: Record Mirror, Top 40.
