Raiders of the Pop Charts

Raiders of the Pop Charts is a compilation album released by Ronco in late 1982. It spent two weeks at number one in the UK Albums chart in January 1983.

The compilation was released as two separate vinyl albums (or cassettes), but they were sold as a single item, under the guise of "Part 2" being a free gift with "Part 1", a gimmick often used for compilation albums around that time.

The album should not be confused with an identically titled compilation issued in Australia in the same year by Ronco's rival K-Tel.
