#1 this week in 1981, this was the third of five weeks at the top for "Stand and Deliver", the first of three #1 hits for Adam & The Ants (although Adam went solo just as "Goody Two Shoes" was being pressed up with an Adam & The Ants credit). #OffTheChart soundofthecrowd.org.uk/music/… pic.twitter.com/l7ASH86ONF

This week in 1981 was the second of four weeks at #2 for Shakin' Stevens with "You Drive Me Crazy". It peaked at #2, sandwiched between two #1 hits "This Ole House" and "Green Door". #OffTheChart soundofthecrowd.org.uk/music/… pic.twitter.com/mk5DbNz0Lc

At #3 today in 1981, "Stars on 45", a medley of Beatles songs put together by Dutch producer Jaap Eggermont. In the US the title of every song in the medley had to be listed on the label, making it the longest titled US #1 single in history! #OffTheChart soundofthecrowd.org.uk/music/… pic.twitter.com/6OE6esatMU

New at #63 on this week's LP chart in 1981: Grace Jones' fifth album "Nightclubbing". This track "Demolition Man" was written by Sting and recorded by The Police for their album "Ghost in the Machine" later the same year. #OffTheChart soundofthecrowd.org.uk/music/… pic.twitter.com/gOAaGZK8fO
