6th September 1980 for one week
This was The Jam’s second Number 1, after Going Underground. Start! kind of proves how brilliant Going Underground was, as this is pretty average.
I can’t recall ever hearing this song before this moment. Ever. That also tells you it is quite a weak song really.
I could imagine the song went down well with the teenagers of the time as the guitars on it are great. But it doesn’t hold up well in 2019.
3/10
Number 1s of my lifetime
