Charts
There is little change in this week's chart as Nena remains at N1 for the second week with 99 Red Balloons and Kool & The Gang and Frankie Goes To Hollywood change places at N2 and N3. Nik Kershaw is stuck at N4 but Break Machine's Street Dance is up to N5 from N11 after appearing on Top of the Pops last week. New entries are fairly low placed with the HNE Lionel Richie Hello at N25 and although a few other 'eighties classics' like Dance Hall Days, It's Raining Men, Your Love Is King and Robert De Niro's Waiting, begin their chart runs.
 * BBC Radio 1 - Beginning at 12.45 pm Mike Smith gives a rundown of this week's Top 40 discs - first chance to hear the new chart.
