Kent Music Report beyond the top 100: 18 April 1983

After a two year break, welcome back to my series of posts on singles that made the Kent Music Report’s list of singles receiving significant sales reports beyond the top 100, which never actually made the top 100.  Accordingly, there will not be a post for every week for this series of posts - I will only make a post when at least one of the listed titles missed the national top 100.

A honeymoon never came on the charts for Aussie band The Honeymoon.

Beyond the top 100:

Position 11 “Love Wakes Up” by The Honeymoon

Highest rank: 11th

Peak date: 18 April 1983

Weeks on below list: 1 week

The Honeymoon were an Australian band, originating in Sydney.  “Love Wakes Up” was the lead single from The Honeymoon’s debut and only album Promise, although they had an earlier, non-album single, “Break Your Heart”, which made the Kent Music Report singles receiving significant sales reports beyond the top 100 list in October 1982.  The Honeymoon never landed a top 100 entry in Australia.

Next post (2 May): one new entry peaking outside the top 100.

Kent Music Report beyond the top 100: 18 October 1982

This week in 1982, there was only one new single bubbling under the top 100, for which I know little about, so let's just dive straight in.

 

The Honeymoon never really started for this Australian band.

 

Beyond the top 100:

 

Position 9 "Break Your Heart" by The Honeymoon

Highest rank: 9th

Peak date: 18 October 1982

Weeks on below list: 1 week

 

Sydney band The Honeymoon only released one album Promise, which missed the Australian top 100 - as did all of their releases.

 

There is scant information about the band online, but I can tell you that the lead singer was Kevin Bennett.

Even though The Honeymoon never landed a top 100 hit, we will see them bubble under again in 1983.

 

Next week (25 October): Another week with just one new entry bubbling under the top 100.
