UK Top 10 November 25, 1979



The Police : Walking on the Moon


On November 25, 1979 The new Police single, "Walking On The Moon", debuted at U.K. #5 despite the unimpressed critics. From Melody Maker: "Perversely, this is actually the one Sting performance I actually like, though this peculiarly empty song, based around a stalking bass figure, probably wasn't a smart choice as a single" and from Smash Hits' David Hepworth  " a pleasant, almost casual reggae affair".


The U.K. Top 10:

1. Dr. Hook When You're in Love With a Beautiful Woman
2. Queen Crazy Little Thing Called Love
3. Donna Summer and Barbra Streisand No More Tears ( Enough Is Enough)
4 The Commodores Still




5. The Police Walking In The Moon
6. Gary Numan Complex




7. Madness One Step Beyond
8. Electric Light Orchestra Confusion/Last Train to London




9. The Jam The Eton Rifles
10. B.A. Robertson Knocked It Off



And debuting at #26 the first single from Pink Floyd's forthcoming album, The Wall.
