I’m sure it has been covered more eloquently than me from Gezza somewhere, but they were tied on “panel sales” but under chart rules both were rounded up but with gaining more sales that week leading in the eventual tie from the previous week, SMB were ahead. There was a gap eventually of 8 copies. The record company argued that it cost Deee Lite a number one album to promote their career with a number one single under their belt, versus a reissue of an old song which was on an advert. 

I will dig out the thread/RM issue scan if I can find it.  If I have recollected incorrectly, please someone jump in.

[rubcale]

You can't change the rules after the fact.

Quite simply The Joker sold 8 more copies - even if a record sold only 1 more copy it should be higher in the chart.

The record company's argument is just tosh.

"Suicide Blonde" was written by INXS members Michael Hutchence and Andrew Farriss, after the band had gotten back together after a year-long sabbatical in 1989. The Australia #2; UK #11; USA #9; Canada #1 song's title originates from the night Hutchence and then-girlfriend Kylie Minogue attended the debut of the 1989 romantic drama film The Delinquents, which stars Minogue. For the premiere, she wore a blonde wig whose colour she called "suicide blonde".

This sort-of sums up what it is like now compiling this 1990 chart - 20 songs on my playlist for this week but only 5 of them actually get into the chart. Would have been good to have found a 7" version of "Barefoot In The Head" too but only found an 8 minute version and the remix which charted later, but it was good enough to come in 3rd behind the two obvious smashes, and having charted "Fool's Gold" last year there was a chance to now chart "What The World Is Waiting For" and that comes in 4th. The La's song I'd never heard of gets in, whereas their classic won't be eligible now as I'll have to wait for my other retro chart (currently in November 1981) to get to 1988 and then we'll see it, the same year that "Englishman In New York" will make an appearance in my chart.

The new list for 2 weeks started at 52 songs but has been culled down to 33, still too many.
