1050 Chum Chart Saturday Dec 11, 1982 Thirty Years Later

Unfortunately due to technical difficulties with internet archiving I cannot provide a nice colourful chart this week but was able to put together a makeshift chart for Saturday Dec 11, 1982 thirty years later. The biggest question wasn't about the top of the chart this week but how a radio station could champion Trio's great song Da Da Da which ended up in the top 5 after only 4 weeks on the chart and then just as quickly push it out. Da Da Da dropped from 4 to 14 this week. Politics? Questionable decision. Guess Supertramp didn't have to worry at all about Trio in the end as they hold onto the top spot for a 3rd week.

Little River Band - The Other Guy Saturday Dec 11, 1982 Entry 2/2

1050 Chum Chart goes Blogging

If you are just joining us I've moved this from Facebook as they deleted a number of my posts for no reason that had links to the actual Chum Charts without any notice. Hopefully this doesn't happen here. Please note that the Blog started with the October 23, 1982 chart. However I have linked the blog to Facebook so all posts here will float over to the Facebook Page. Enjoy
