Former pop chart aficionado, slowly recreating my 400-track singles chart from 1980 via Spotify. Used to know lots about (and write stuff on) television. Now back in London after a spring/summer in Vancouver. Once produced a CD-ROM for Oliver Postgate.

Here's Part 5 of my personal pop chart from 1980. Forty more tracks (well, two omissions for now) to get me to the halfway point in this aural odyssey. I see 7 acts with a pair of tracks in this section: Flying Lizards, Billy Joel, Gillan, The Jam, Steve Forbert ...

Track 214 of 400: “INHERIT THE WIND” by Wilton Felder
I could write you paragraphs about all the connections hidden under this tune's bonnet: credited to Felder for his gorgeous #jazzfusion saxophone lines, its lead vocals are by the great Bobby Womack, no less. Here's a live version with them both:

Track 215 of 400: “I'M SO ATTRACTIVE” by The Photos.
More #powerpop from the quartet fronted by Wendy Wu who previously appeared in this countdown way back at #344 with “Irene”. This ironically narcissistic song was their debut single but somehow didn't appear on their successful debut LP in the UK.

Track 216 of 400: “BREAK IT TO ME GENTLY” by The Planets
Not to be confused with Aretha Franklin's 1977 US Soul #1 of the same title, this gem is firmly in new wave/ #powerpop territory. The Planets reached the Top 40 in 1979 with their reggae-flavoured “Lines” but couldn't repeat that success.

Track 217 of 400: “ALABAMA SONG” by David Bowie
Now, ladies and gentlemen, here's #Bowie to sing Brecht and Weill! I doubt glam-rock era fans ever saw this coming—a strident number from the Germans' sung-play collab “Little Mahoganny”, first performed back in 1927—yet Bowie was a real #Brecht fan.

Track 218 of 400: “ROSSMORE ROAD” by Barry Andrews
Quite the obscurity, this (it's not on Spotify): a noodling evocation of a quite ordinary London road and its surroundings. Andrews played keyboards on XTC's first two albums but moved on in 1979, the year before I compiled this chart.

Track 219 of 400: “PARANOID” by Black Sabbath
Not of course a brand-new track in 1980, this early heavy metal classic was re-released that August. Back in 1970, this debut had reached #4 in the UK chart; 10 years after, it reached a respectable #14. To date, #Paranoid has spent 35 weeks as a hit.

Track 220 of 400: “THE BED'S TOO BIG WITHOUT YOU ” by The Police
“But this wasn't a single for them”, I hear you cry (possibly). Technically, that's true, but of the six Police A-sides in the compilation of 45s that reached #17 in the UK chart as “Six Pack”, only this one had not been a hit earlier.

Track 221 of 400: “YOUNG BLOOD” by UFO.
From an album produced by #GeorgeMartin, no less, this was the 4th UK Top 40 hit accumulated since 1978 by a hard-rock band with a slow-burn career. “No Place to Run”, the LP in question, was their 8th album but it proved to be the top seller in a long career.

Track 222 of 400: “WHEN I'M WITH YOU” by Sparks
Here's a solitary appearance in my 1980 chart for the prolific and long-running outfit centred on brothers Ron and Russell #Mael. This feels very much towards the poppier end of their range of quirky #art-rock; those synth lines are pretty hypnotic.

Track 223 of 400: “STOP THE CAVALRY” by Jona Lewie.

Track 224 of 400: “ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL” by Pink Floyd
A song held over from 1979, this unlikely Christmas No. 1 still held pole position on the UK chart until mid-January 1980. Not exactly a singles band ('tho "See Emily Play" went Top 10 in 1967) the #Floyd would never reach the Top 20 again.

Track 225 of 400: “COMING UP” by Paul McCartney
The lead track from his album “McCartney II”, this was a massive success both sides of the Atlantic—but while the studio version made it a #2 hit in the UK, a live version with Wings (the UK B-side) got the airplay that took it to #1 in the US.

Listeners to John Peel's Radio 1 show in 1978-79 would've been pretty familiar with the first releases by this band from #Belfast (also known as “rigid digits”). But 1980 was the year when the ferocious snarl of Jake Burns went more mainstream.

Talking of the Jam, they played a pretty significant part in growing the #ModRevival that peaked in 1980. One band to benefit from this was Secret Affair. This was the third and last of the latter's Top 20 hits and arguably their most sophisticated song.

Surprisingly, this was just the third Top 20 hit in the UK for Joel, after Just the Way You Are and My Life got there in 1978. When Billy sings “Everybody's talking 'bout the new sound” it was presumably a riposte to punk and #NewWave.

Track 234 of 400: “IT'S STILL ROCK AND ROLL TO ME” by Billy Joel
Surprisingly, this was just the third Top 20 hit in the UK for Joel, after Just the Way You Are and My Life got there in 1978. When Billy sings “Everybody's talking 'bout the new sound” it was presumably a riposte to punk and #NewWave.
