1982 Festive Fifty: Numbers 15-11

• 15 (AT): Siouxsie And The Banshees, 'Israel (LP-Once Upon A Time/The Singles)' (Polydor)

(JP: 'This confusion caused by having two parallel charts is going to get even more confusing now. I mean, because we've got equal fourteen in the favourite records from 1982: and this comes about, very rare this, only the second time it's happened. The first time was in the All-Time favourites chart with number 49 equal.... Do you see what I'm talking about? What it means is that exactly the same number of people voted it first as voted it second as voted it third, and it ended up, the two couldn't be separated. So, this is the first of the two 14th equals from this year's chart. Are you with me? It's another one which, I don't really attribute it to Kid Jensen, but he certainly played it a great deal more than I did.')

• =14 (FF): Bauhaus, 'Ziggy Stardust (7")' (Beggars Banquet)

(JP: 'Never fully understood the attractions of that, I must confess.')

• 14 (AT): Dead Kennedys, 'Holiday In Cambodia (LP-Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables)' (I.R.S.)
• =14 (FF): Associates, 'Party Fears Two (7")' (Associates/Beggars Banquet)

(JP: 'Good to hear that again, I must say.')

• 13 (AT): Damned, 'New Rose (LP-Another Great Record From The Damned: The Best Of The Damned)' (Big Beat)
• 13 (FF): Scritti Politti, 'Faithless (LP-Songs To Remember)' (Rough Trade)
• 12 (AT): Joy Division, 'Dead Souls (7"-Licht Und Blindheit)' (Sordide Sentimentale)
• 12 (FF): Yazoo, 'Only You (LP-Upstairs At Eric's)' (Mute) (JP: 'Brilliant record.') §
• 11 (AT): Jam, 'Down In The Tube Station At Midnight (7")' (Polydor)
• 11 (FF): Jam, 'A Town Called Malice (7")' (Polydor)

(JP: 'Must say, I admire Paul Weller's courage in breaking the group up at this stage.')
