Kent Music Report beyond the top 100: 13 June 1983

This week in 1983, there was just one single bubbling under the top 100 that didn’t break on through into the top 100.  Let’s take a look.

Van Morrison tries phoning home.

Beyond the top 100:

Position 10 “Cry for Home” by Van Morrison

Highest rank: 9th

Peak date: 27 June 1983

Weeks on below list: 2 weeks

I have written about Northern Irish guitar whizz Van Morrison previously in a 1990 chart recap.  “Cry for Home” was the lead single from Van’s fourteenth studio album Inarticulate Speech of the Heart (number 21, June 1983).

Internationally, “Cry for Home” peaked at number 98 in the UK in February 1983, and number 40 in New Zealand in June 1983.

Next post (27 June): Two singles peaking outside the top 100, both of which I am already familiar with for once.
