Haven Combi Retro-Chart W/B 3rd December 1989

[Kingpin]

HAVEN COMBI RETRO-CHART W/B 3rd DECEMBER 1989

Dusty Springfield leaps 11 places to get her first number one of the 80s as In Private notches up another chart-topping production for the Pet Shop Boys. It also has the dubious honour of the lowest scoring song to hit number one since Crazy For You by Madonna earned only 114 points in June 1985.



Also up 11 places are Swedish act Rob ‘n’ Raz with Leila K as Got To Get narrowly misses out on the top spot.

Soul II Soul get a big new entry, and their highest debut to date, as Get A Life enters the chart at number three, instantly becoming their third Top Five hit of the year.

The Stone Roses climb one place to number five with Fools Gold, becoming their biggest hit so far.

Kate Bush makes a return to the Top Five, her fifth visit in total, as This Woman’s Work climbs four places to number five.

And what of last week’s number one? All Around The World by Lisa Stansfield makes the biggest fall from the top in the history of the 80s Retro-Chart, plummeting 11 places to number 12, in a weird place-swap with Dusty Springfield.

In a week of significant tumbles down the chart, the biggest climber is a relatively modest thirteen place climb for Tina Turner with I Don’t Wanna Lose You, up to number eight

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

Sorry again everyone, a double hit this week again with the final two charts of the year (and of the decade!  sob!!)  As usual, there doesn't look much movement or many new entries on the last chart of the year so feel free to either post a second chart or just freeze it until the new year.
