The Beautiful South replace Maria McKee at #1 and I'd have to look up in my records the last time two consecutive NM and UK number ones happened, if it has even happened before. It definitely won't become three, "Unchained Melody" won't be coming back into my chart in 1990. For the Beautiful South on this chart it's a second #1 after "Song For Whoever" but the Housemartins also topped the chart in 1986 with "Happy Hour".

On Spotify there are two versions of "(We Want) The Same Thing" and so of course I started off with the "wrong" version which I think is the original on Runaway Horses but the "summer remix" is the one we're used to as singles fans with all the "hey hey" on it.

There are 2 versions of the same song entering. "From A Distance" was written by Diane Warren and recorded by Bette Midler who would go on to have the bigger UK hit with it when re-issued in 1991 but Cliff's version got to #11 in 1990 while Bette Midler missed the top 40 first time around. Cliff gets the higher entry of the two.

20 new Saint Etienne - KISS AND MAKE UP

I had another listen just now to see why it was so low down on my list as I do like a lot of their music. The one in the Summer Anthems recently was a runaway winner for me (and had reached my top 20 and featured in my video playlist in 2017). "Kiss And Make Up" is pleasant but doesn't for me have a tune I'd remember enough.

It was a cover of a song by The Field Mice which had just come out a few months earlier , this is still pre Sarah Cracknell so they were still finding their sound. The reason I like it so much as the main two indie nights I went to always play it at the time. Also the 12” mixes were better still , don’t own them know if they are on Spotify.

It’s better than Candyflip or PWEI imo which are similar genre out same week. Btw I will be charting ‘Joey’ soon awesome song.
