A nice bright start to the programme, that's Racey

all the way from Weston-super-Mare and Lay Your Love On Me.

And somebody who can lay their love on me any time is a young lady

who's going to be visiting our shores again very shortly,

the lovely Olivia Newton-John.

# Guess mine is not the first heart broken

# My eyes are not the first to cry

# I'm not the first to know

# There's just no gettin' over you

# Hello, I'm just a fool who's willing

# To sit around and wait for you

# But, baby, can't you see?

# There's nothin' else for me to do

# I'm hopelessly devoted to you

# But now there's nowhere to hide

# Since you pushed my love aside

# I'm not in my head

# Hopelessly devoted to you

# Hopelessly devoted to you-ou-ou

# Hopelessly devoted to you

# My head is saying "Fool, forget him"

# My heart is saying "Don't let go"

# Hold on to the end

# That's what I intend to do

# I'm hopelessly devoted to you

# But now there's nowhere to hide

# Since you pushed my love aside

# I'm not in my head

# Hopelessly devoted to you

# Hopelessly devoted to you-ou-ou-ou

# Hopelessly devoted to you. #

APPLAUSE

The lovely Olivia Newton-John, Hopelessly Devoted To You.

At number 30 in the charts this week, David and Thereza,

better known as Dollar, and a new single from them, Shooting Star

# Tonight of nights you should be far away

# A million miles from where you are

# You'll hear the rhythm as it sounds across the sky

# Above your heads a shooting star

# And they'll be dancing in the moonlight

# Dancing in the strange light

# Voices from the bright lights

# I wonder who they are

# Don't worry cos it's only

# A shooting star

# They move in closer with their gleaming eyes

# Arrested chariots of fire

# Don't make a move for they begin to speak

# I do believe they wear a smile

# And they'll be dancing in the moonlight

# Dancing in the strange light

# Voices far and friendly

# They know just who you are

# Don't worry cos it's only

# A shooting star

# Dancing

# In the moonlight

# Dancing

# In the strange light

# Voices far and friendly

# They know just who you are

# Don't worry cos it's only... #

APPLAUSE

Up an incredible 35 places to this week's number 29

goes Sylvester and his new single Dance Disco Heat.

APPLAUSE

Thank you. Sylvester, Dance Disco Heat,

danced to by the lovely Legs Co.

And his last single is still in the charts as well, amazingly -

two in at the same time.

And now if you fancy something a little more gentle,

here's Elkie Brooks - Don't Cry Out Loud.

# Baby cried the day the circus came to town

# Cos she didn't want parades just passing by her

# So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown

# And danced without a net upon the wire

# I know a lot about her cos you see

# Baby is an awful lot like me

# We don't cry out loud

# We keep it inside

# Learn how to hide your feelings

# Fly high and proud

# And if you should fall

# Remember we almost had it all

# Baby saw the day they pulled the big top down

# They left behind her dreams among the litter

# And the different kind of love she thought she'd found

# Was nothing more than sawdust and some glitter

# But baby can't be broken cos you see

# She had the finest teacher - that's me

# We don't cry out loud

# Keep it inside

# Learn how to hide your feelings

# Fly high and proud

# And if you should fall

# Remember you almost had it all

# We don't cry out loud

# Keep it inside

# Learn how to hide your feelings

# Fly high and proud

# And if you should fall

# Remember you almost had it

# Don't cry out loud

# Keep it inside

# Learn how to hide your feelings

# Fly high and proud

# And if you should fall

# Remember you almost had it all

# Don't cry out loud... #

APPLAUSE

That's Elkie Brooks. And jumping ten places this week to number four,

it's Rod Stewart, and the question you ask yourself

when you look in the mirror every morning. Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?

# Sugar

# Ooh, ooh, ooh

# She sits alone

# Waiting for suggestions

# He's so nervous

# Avoiding all the questions

# His lips are dry

# Her heart is gently pounding

# Don't you just know

# Exactly what they're thinking

# If you want my body

# And you think I'm sexy

# Come on, sugar, let me know

# If you really need me

# Just reach out and touch me

# Come on, honey, tell me so

# Tell me so, baby

# He's acting shy

# Looking for an answer

# Come on, honey

# Let's spend the night together

# Now hold on a minute

# Before we go much further

# Give me a dime

# So I can phone my mother

# They catch a cab

# To his high rise apartment

# At last he can tell her

# Exactly what his heart meant

# If you want my body

# And you think I'm sexy

# Come on, honey, tell me so

# If you really need me

# Just reach out and touch me

# Come on, sugar, let me know

# His heart's beating like a drum

# Cos at last... #

APPLAUSE

And now on Top Of The Pops there are two great numbers.

There's one, and the other one comes from Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

# Sweep those blues outside the door

# You won't need them any more

# I'm coming to you I must have been a fool before

# Now all I want

# All I want

# All I want is you

# So roll away your loneliness

# You have sent your last SOS

# Turn your heart on Put your mind at rest

# Cos all I want

# All I want

# All I want is you

# I'm on flight 112

# The airport's straight ahead

# Runway lights in blue and red

# Now the seatbelt sign's aglow

# I'm nearly home, nearly home

# So throw those long sad books away

# Times and crimes of yesterday

# Tonight I'm gonna love you till the break of day

# Cos all I want

# All I want

# All I want is you

# All I want is you

# All I want is you

# All I want is you... # APPLAUSE

Fresh from his stunning success as Che in Evita,

David Essex has a great new single out - Goodbye, First Love.

CHEERING

# First lover of my life

# Goodbye

# And as the years fly by

# I will still remember

# Goodbye, first love

14 hits so far and I reckon that one is definitely going to be the 1 th.

That one's going to find its way into a few Christmas stockings

David Essex and Goodbye, First Love.

they're still there, the second week at number one - the Rats.

# There was a lot of rocking going on that night

# Cruising time for the young bright lights

# Just down past the gasworks by the meat factory door

# The five lamp boys were coming on strong

# The Saturday night city beat had already started

# The pulse of the corner boys just sprang into action

# And young Billy watched it under the yellow street light

# And said, "Tonight of all nights

# "There's gonna be a fight"

# Billy don't like it living here in this town

# He says the traps have been sprung long before he was born

# He says hope bites the dust behind all the closed doors

# And blood and tears pour down the drains and sewers

# There's screaming and crying in the high-rise block

# It's a rat trap, Billy but you're already caught

# But you can make it if you want to or you need it bad enough

# You're young and good-looking and you're acting kind of tough

# Anyway, it's Saturday night Time to see what's going down

# Put on the bright suit, Billy Head for the right side of town

# It's only eight o'clock but you're already bored

# You don't know what it is but there's got to be more

# You'd better find a way out Hey, kick down that door

# It's a rat trap and you've been caught

# In this town Billy says

# Everybody's trying to tell you what to do

# In this town Billy says

# Everybody says you gotta follow rules

# You walk up to the traffic lights Switch from your left to your right

# You push in that button and that button comes alight

# It tells you walk, don't walk Walk, don't walk

# Talk, don't talk Talk, don't talk

# Walk, don't walk Walk, don't walk

# Talk, don't talk Talk, don't talk

# Hey, Billy, take a walk Take a walk, take a walk

# Billy, take a walk Take a walk, take a walk

# Billy, take a walk Take a walk, take a walk

# Hey, Billy, take a walk with me

# Little Judy's trying to watch Top Of The Pops

# But Mum and Dad are fighting Don't they ever stop?

# She take off her coat and walks down to the street

# It's cold on that road but it's got that home beat

# Deep down in her pocket she finds 50p

# Hey, is that any way for a young girl to be

# "I'm gonna get out of school Work in some factory

# "Work all the hours God gave me Get myself a little easy money

# Now, now, now, na-na-na...

# Her mind's made up She walks down the road

# Her hands in her pockets Coat buttoned 'gainst the cold

# She finally finds Billy down at the Italian cafe

# When he's drunk it's hard to understand what Billy says

# But then he mumbles in his coffee and suddenly roars

# "It's a rat trap, Judy And we've been caught!"

# Rat trap!

# Judy, caught in a rat trap!

# Judy, caught in a rat trap

# Judy, caught in a rat trap! # APPLAUSE

The Rats in their Rat Trap for the second week at number one.

We're going to close with a theme song they wrote especially for me.

Le Freak, and it comes from Chic.

# Le Freak, c'est Chic

# Freak out!

# Ah-h, freak out!

# Le Freak, c'est Chic

# Freak out!

# Have you heard about the new dance craze?

# Listen to us I'm sure you'll be amazed

# Big fun to be had by everyone

# It's up to you It surely can be done

# Young and old are doing it, I'm told

# Just one try and you too will be sold

# It's called Le Freak! They're doing it night and day

# Allow us, we'll show you the way

# Ah-h, freak out!

# Le Freak, c'est Chic

# Freak out!

# All that pressure got you down

# Has your head spinning all around

# Feel the rhythm, check the rhyme

# Come on along and have a real good time

# Like the days of stomping at the Savoy

# Now we freak, oh, what a joy

# Just come on down to 54

# Find a spot out on the floor

# Ah-h, freak out!

# Le Freak, c'est Chic

# Freak out!

# Now freak! #
