Alternative Hi-NRG & Eurobeat Charts April & May 1987: Amadeus Liszt, Leah Landis, Tony Caso, Lola & Nancy Dean

Over the years I have been searching for 80s Hi-NRG charts from all over the world. Independent record shops made their own charts put together from sales of records in their premises.

The first chart here is from London’s Record Shack shop in Soho. It is quite interesting to see that although Ian Levine had left Record Shack a year earlier, the shop was more than happy to include several of his productions on his own Nightmare label in their chart.

This chart is pretty much a reflection of the Record Mirror chart, but there are some intriguing alternative entires included, like Mike Mareen’s Amadeus Liszt import 12 inch.

Record Shack, London, Hi-NRG Chart April 1987

Central Station Records, Melbourne, Hi-NRG Chart May 1987

This chart is from a record shop in Melbourne, Australia, from May 1987, shows pretty much the same tracks were being played in nightclubs the world over. It would appear from this chart that Bobby Orlando’s productions were really popular in Melboure!

DANCE MUSIC REPORT 1985 YEAR END Hi-NRG TOP 80

First published in 1978 as Disco News, Dance Music Report was an American twice monthly music magazine focussing on the music played in nightclubs and for radio DJs who promoted dance music. It continued to be published until 1992. Alongside reporting about dance music, DMR published various charts, including a Hi-NRG chart, throughout the 80s. Here is DMR’s Hi-NRG top 80 for 1985:

Although many of these tracks appear in the other Hi-NRG charts I have posted from the UK and Europe, here are ten tracks, including a brilliant U.S. remix of Fun Fun’s “Give Me Your Love”, that didn’t make an appearance in the Record Mirror or Radio Stad Den Haag charts.
