Virtual C90 vol. 14 – April 2014

The usual mix of ’80s hits, misses, mixes, remixes and forgotten classics, and certainly not anything different or silly because it’s April Fool’s Day, oh no.

This week in 1982 was the first of three weeks at #1 for Irene Cara's theme from "Fame" - originally released along with the movie in 1980, it did nothing in the UK until the TV spinoff became a hit in the summer of 1982. #OffTheChart soundofthecrowd.org.uk/music/… pic.twitter.com/GZ7ZiRa9C2

At #2 this week in 1982, "Abracadabra" was only the Steve Miller Band's second hit single in the UK, their first since 1976, and their biggest until 1990 when their 1973 track "The Joker" went to #1 after it was used in a jeans commercial. #OffTheChart soundofthecrowd.org.uk/music/… pic.twitter.com/jAW9fQMA5I

"Happy Talk" was the first solo hit for the Damned's bassist Captain Sensible. Originally from "South Pacific", @sensiblecaptain's version set a chart record for the biggest climb to #1 - it leapt 32 places in a single week to reach the top. #OffTheChart soundofthecrowd.org.uk/music/… pic.twitter.com/uSxk1f5RwG

Written by rabid Scotsman Jesse Rae, "Inside Out" was Odyssey's fifth and final top ten hit in the UK. It peaked at #3 and was down a place to #4 this week in 1982. #OffTheChart soundofthecrowd.org.uk/music/… pic.twitter.com/7EeW80gdAp

Top five time! Peaking at #5, Shalamar's "A Night to Remember" was the record that introduced the Moonwalk to the UK; Jeffrey Daniel did the dance on Top of the Pops ages before Michael Jackson adopted it. #OffTheChart soundofthecrowd.org.uk/music/… pic.twitter.com/narzZQmK4P

New at #33 this week, REO Speedwagon's 10th album "Good Trouble" went on to reach #29 here and #7 in the US where it sold over 2 million copies. "Keep The Fire Burnin'" was a #7 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and #2 on the Mainstream Rock Chart. #OffTheChart soundofthecrowd.org.uk/music/… pic.twitter.com/4ZIQrUCOqE
