UK Top 40 this day 40 years ago.

I wonder if one of those columns is meant to be highest chart position because that big ol ballad Power of Love by Jennifer Rush with even bigger hair-do hit #1 earlier that year. Some of those songs hit #1 and others would eventually make the top spot. In the days when the charts was still a thing and we'd buy vinyl singles/45s.

Thanks. Should have copped that. Interesting after 3 weeks Band-aid had not yet reached top, thought it did for Xmas, as it eventually went on to be one of the best selling singles of all.

Indeed, it was released 1984. Need to take it easy on the Christmas Redbreast.
