Week by week we're listing 5 tracks which were big music news in the charts, on your radio or even in your record collection 40 years ago, this week in 1980:
Adam & The Ants - Antmusic Follow-up to the Dog Eat Dog breakthrough hit, another tarck from the Kings of the Wild Frontier album.
Jona Lewie - Stop the Cavalry. This perhaps unintended Christmas song was the highest new entry on the charts this week at no.15 and remains a "classic" of the yuletide genre.
Stay Cats - Runaway Boys. US rockabilly nostalgics get their first UK hit this week with thsi one entering the Top 40 at no.23.
The Jam - Pretty Green. Only ABBA could stop this album entering the charts at no.1, and they did. Opening track from The Jam's new long-player Sound Affects.
Queen - Flash The British rockers' theme to the new Flash Gordon movie, written and mostly played by Brian May. Released this week.
