@evibenstein I especially like how the WARM is highlighted. I wouldn't be wanting to wear one of those cold sweatshirts.

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
