HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 15th OCTOBER 1989

Belinda Carlisle extends her run at the top of the chart to two weeks with Leave A Light On. With an expanded points total now at 198, Leave A Light On is now top on six individual charts.



Which means it’s bad news for Billy Joel, who remains stuck at number two for a third week with We Didn’t Start the Fire.

Deborah Harry climbs to number three with I Want That Man, matching the peak of her 1987 hit, French Kissin’ In The USA.

Chris Rea gets a massive climb of 25 places, and registers his biggest hit in the process, as The Road To Hell jumps to number four.

The honour of biggest climber falls to Martika as I Feel The Earth Move leaps 30 places to number 7. Quickly following her summer hit Toy Soldiers, Martika moves into contention for a second consecutive number one single.

Highest new entry is from The Beloved with The Sun Rising, debuting at a modest number 21.

And here’s this week’s Retro Chart in full….

Managed by Tom (Pet Shop Boys; Bros; East 17; etc) Watkins this influential electronic soulful house band, and fronted by Billie Ray Martin (formerly of S'Express) could have been huge. But a disastrous tour as support act to Depeche Mode showed they could not handle adversity and they sadly imploded.

sorry, late again! Never have enough time...


29th October 1989

Elton John’s second topper of the year, Sacrifice becomes his 8th Number One, and the last one before his voice changed, I loved young Elton’s soulful vocals, not so much a fan of deeper-voiced later-Elton. All change at the top end, as Living In A Box climb to 3, and Grayson Hugh’s great track at 4. Lisa Stansfield gets her 3rd top 10 in a row, and Eurythmics just miss out by a whisker with a good ballad. Liza Minelli bounces back, must be bouncing bombs at 15! Debbie Harry gets another top 20 solo hit while Imagination remix an illusion at 26, new 7 years on from the original. This is long before I got a kiss and hug from Leee John, so no bias involved!

Another actual oldie enters at 34, and it’s a rare fifties classic, the 1956 doowop UK number one Why Do Fools Fall In Love, which was back out, and purchased by me in 12inch vinyl format. I always did like this one (despite Diana Ross’ 1981 massacre), though a lot of fifties tracks tended to pass me by until I got older, they sounded too old in the 70’s and 80’s as production values improved. These days, I appreciate the period charm of many of ‘em, though. At 38, great moody The Sun Rising enters for The Beloved, the first of quite a few. Rod Stewart’s back with a cover of his own cover of an Isley Brothers classic – This Old Heart Of Mine – along with Ronald Isley, at 49. The good news is it’s better than his 1975 turgid version, the bad news is it’s not a patch on the earnest gorgeousness of the 1966 Motown original which hit my Top 5 in 1968, and number one in 1976.

Boy George is back, this time as Jesus Loves You, after the love hits 53, Tina Turner’s back with I Don’t Want To Lose You at 57, Simply Red are back 63, yes you’ve got it, and The Bangles claim they’ll set you free at 66. That’s not all, though, The Eagles Don Henley gets another entry with New York Minute, a sprawling classy cinematic ballad, at 69, New Kids get a third hit with The Right Stuff (so they claim), Luther Vandross finally charts Never Too Much, remixed, and Bob Dylan lengthens his run of hits to 20 years cos everything, apparently, is broken.
