Full chart here
TOTP debut: The Creatures, Altered Images.
The Tweets – “Birdie Song (Birdie Dance)” (7)
Bird sh*t.
Godley & Creme – “Under Your Thumb” (6)
Going ahead in leaps and bounds and will do even better.
Sheena Easton – “Just Another Broken Heart” (37)
(rpt from 17/09/81) This one's really struggling and hasn't gone up much since it was last shown two weeks ago. But Sheena obviously had some friends in high places who managed to get this one repeated.
The Teardrop Explodes – “Passionate Friend” (25)
Another one that's struggling a bit but possibly a big fave of Mike Read's so it's good to see Julian Cope tripping again.
The Creatures – “Mad Eyed Screamer” (34)
Siouxsie & Banshees spin-off as 'er and Budgie (no relation to The Tweets) get all hot an bothered to whip this one up.
Ottawan – “Hands Up (Give Me Your Heart)” (3) (Legs & Co)
..and then on to something completely different.
Toyah – “Thunder In The Mountains” (32)
The fiery-haired one is back with a new single. Possibly not about farting.
Bad Manners – “Walking In The Sunshine” (30) (video)
Surprisingly pleasant soft-reggae outing for this obnoxious lot.
Altered Images – “Happy Birthday” (48) WATCH
Debut appearance and indeed chart hit for these erstwhile post-punk John Peel darlings gone pop.
Gidea Park – “Seasons Of Gold” (28)
Rubbish.
Dollar – “Hand Held In Black & White” (19) (rpt from 03/09/81)
The Trevor Horn gloss still working its magic, but go no further with this one Dollar people.
Adam & The Ants – “Prince Charming” (1) (video)
Still there and not even for the last week (yaaawn).
Tight Fit - "Back To The 60's (Part II)" (38) (audience dancing/credits)
