HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 26th NOVEMBER 1989    

Lisa Stansfield manages to hang on at the top for a third week, albeit with a seriously depleted score and the lowest scoring number one since The Look by Roxette in April.



Phil Collins remains stuck at number two for a third week with Another Day In Paradise, with Tears For Fears up a place to number three with Woman In Chains.

808 State remain at number four with Pacific State with fellow Madchester band the Stone Roses moving up to number five with Fools Gold, equalling the peak of She Bangs The Drums from earlier this year.

Highest new entry is from Kate Bush with This Woman’s Work, straight in at number 9, with the biggest climber coming from Jeff Wayne with a remixed version of Eve Of The War, up 24 places to number 11.

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

Many thanks for the 14 charts posted this week from: Mark , rubcale , raliverpool , o , darkstar79 , smokeyb , TheThorne , Whitneyfan , coolchristie2 , Smurfie , Shireblogger , Earl Purple and popchartfreak

I'll leave this open until next Saturday!

[Kingpin]

Sorry everyone, I've had to include two week's of charts (and will do the same again next week!) to try and get 1989 completed before Christmas and give myself time to prepare the end of year chart (where did this year go....) 
I also have an end of decade chart to prepare at some point (well, eight and a half years of the 80s anyway!) - will try and do that in the new year.

If you haven't got time to post two charts, don't worry, I'll just freeze and roll your chart over to the second week.

Ha, thanks and yes onto a new decade next year I suppose!!  Seriously, if anyone would like the opportunity to take over the Retro-Chart feel free to shout up, I'm ok with handing this over (you'd be doing me a favour tbh, I find it difficult at times juggling this alongside family, work and exercise commitments) otherwise yep it'll be 1990 next year!

Not sure how I feel about the 90s, I don't have the same love for it as I do the 80s....the decline of SAW, pop had a rough few years, I didn't enjoy grunge or Britpop, although I really liked rave and Eurodance.  Bit of a mixed bag really.  Maybe I'll be a bit more open-minded listening to it with (almost) 50 year old ears and make some new (late) discoveries!

Debuting as my highest new entry is the UK #12, USA #38, Canada #33, Australia #40 first single by the English "super group" which comprised Bernard Sumner of New Order, ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, and guesting vocalist Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys. Musically, Bernard Sumner wrote the verse and Johnny Marr wrote the chorus. The lyrics, co-written by Tennant with Sumner, are a parody of Marr's Smiths partner Morrissey, and his public stereotyping as morose and masochistic. The fluid, rich production incorporates a full orchestra conducted by Art of Noise's Anne Dudley.
