This week in 1981 was the third of four weeks at the top of the UK chart for "Green Door", Shakin' Stevens' second number 1 hit. The song has also been recorded by Frankie Vaughan, Crystal Gayle and The Cramps. Separately, not all together. #OffTheChart

About time we had a bit of culture on this show... At #2 today in 1981, yet another medley, "Hooked on Classics" by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Louis Clark. #OffTheChart
