Oooh, Temptation, that was great. And Reg is right about Big Country - I've got the first two LPs kicking about somewhere. And the lumberjack shirts |

tbh, Temptation's streets ahead of anything else on there. Listening to it again, it hasn't aged a day. I, on the other hand...

Phil Collins/Genesis should suffer eternal damnation in hell along with anybody who bought a record of his.

Every Jam single ever released was in the charts at some point in January 1983 iirc. Didn't they re-release them all when they announced the split? I've got them somewhere.
Does that count or is it cheating?
Otherwise this was still a fucking ace year. I turned 16 and left school and the charts contained stuff like:
Echo & The Bunnymen - The Cutter and Never Stop
Fun Boy Three - Tunnel Of Love and Our Lips Are Sealed
Orange Juice - Rip It Up
New Order - Blue Monday and Confusion
Dexy's Midnight Runners - The Celtic Soul Brothers
Imposter - Pills And Soap
Elvis Costello - Everyday I Write The Book
Malcolm McLaren & The Bootzilla Orchestra - Double Dutch (which I'd almost forgotten about and is FUCKING ACE)
Madness - Wings Of A Dove
Aztec Camera - Oblivious
Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax
Smiths - This Charming Man
Icicle Works - Love Is A Wonderful Colour
Pretenders - 2000 Miles
Not to mention all the singles off Bowie's Let's Dance
Ok it also brought us a shit load of Tracey Ullman singles and Black Lace's Superman but it's swings and roundabouts ain't it
I'm going for this because the bassline is now lodged in my brain and because Trevor Horn is a cunting genius:

Oh and "Just Got Lucky" was easily the best JoBoxers single released in 1983 or in fact ever!

I was 5 in 1983 so can vaguely recall anything, but browsing the Top 100 of the year, i'd have to go with Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams. Amazing synths and that innit. No video, every cunt knows it.
