Musique Mon carnet bleu 1980 15 novembre 1981
Lots of new entries there with that yummy "Flasback" by Imagination and around the bottom of the charts : Teena Marie (go girl), Mel Brooks (go Jewish King, go !) and G.Q, some crazy instrumental by K.I.D with that crazyfunky choon but Prince is leading the pack here with a major "Controversy".

Happy stuff

It was their 3rd megahit in a matter of months. Nothing could really stop them. And the songs kept betting better.
