I'm glad Simply Red are doing well - I know they are generally not liked on here but that song is great. And their next one even better in my opinion so let's see how that gets on here. Of course whilst they didn't set the singles chart alight in 1991-92, the "Stars" album was the biggest selling in both those years.

The return to the top for Queen clearly is a reaction of Freddie Mercury's death on 24 November 1991, and that is what happened at the time, leaving Michael Jackson with just a single week on top. Of course we also know that in 2 weeks time they re-release Bohemian Rhapsody which won't be a hit on this chart, but it is also coupled with "These Are The Days Of Our Lives" which will be the song I chart.

I did say these weeks are massive, with KLF back with Tammy Wynette and also George Michael reviving Elton John's classic with him also featuring on it, just a few weeks after Oleta Adams had a minor hit with a cover of the same song, but for me this live version is now the one I'd generally listen to. Elton John's original version will be coming up in the combi-chart for 1974 next year. And it's one of two Elton John covers entering this week with Kate Bush's version of "Rocket Man" entering at #44. Always sounds funny though when she sings "I miss my wife".

KLF and Erasure are both well liked on the combi-chart so with both of them having a single enter this week I guess it will be a fierce competition at the top.

We also have a Brian May solo song that featured on a commercial, and Right Said Fred proving they were not just a novelty act. I think "Don't Talk Just Kiss" has to be one of the most surprising songs - did anyone really expect Right Said Fred to follow-up "I'm Too Sexy" with something as good as this? (Incidentally, the Wedding Present had previously recorded a different song with that title).

Among the other entries, The Levellers and Beverley Craven have both had number ones this year. I was said to hear that Beverley Craven's younger sister who is the subject of that song died fairly young.

No successful comeback for Frank Ifield on this chart. The record holder in my chart for a comeback is Julie Felix, who returned to the chart after an absence of 42 years and even got into the top 10 at the start of 2013 with "Tiger Eyes".

Cant get the charts to load on the OCC site at the mo, and I like to look a week ahead, so I will wait until that is working before posting up my chart, for now, I'll leave you with The Levellers - Far from home. Still remember listening to this coming back on the National Express coach from London (in the winter of 91) after spending time with my uni gf from down south.

[popchartfreak]

8th December 1991

It's 3 weeks on top for The KLF, with runners-up Army Of Lovers obssessed at not quite making it. Belinda carlisle keeps the top 5's coming, and Kate Bush makes sure that 13 years on she can still go top 5 too. Shanice leaps into the top 10 with her fab I Love Your Smile, Prince is all Diamonds And Pearls outdoing the first 2 singles from the album of the same name, at 8, and Extreme make it 2 top 10's in a row.

James almost make the 10, Sound! Nia Peeples, Salt 'n' Pepa climb fast into the 20, and the highest new entry is Nat 'King' Cole's classic The Christmas Song - the one about chestnuts roasting - at 28, 30 years on from this 1961 re-recording and 46 years on from his original version of the Mel Torme song. Not co-incidentally Natalie Cole also enters with her version of her dad's classic at 62, the first time ever (and last time) that a father and daughter charted with the same song but separately - Frank & nancy Sinatra, and Nat & Natalie having already done that on the same record.

Following the tragic death of Freddie Mercury Queen's The Show Must Go On is back at a new peak of 33, and Brian May also debuts with Driven By You, proving once and for all that he vocally is no Freddie. Guns 'n' Roses cover a Bond theme, and Live And Let Die (Paul & Linda McCartney's song) is new at 46, Vic Reeves cover of the traditional Abide With Me pops in after I see his Big Night Out and fun it was too, and the oldies keep on coming as the best songs from The Jungle Book get the remix mash-up treatment to chart 25 years or so late, when they should have charted first-time round for the Disney classic. Not least because singer Phil Harris deserved a hit, and Louis Prima should have gotten a chart hit - the 30's/40's jazz bandleader was the voice of King Louie, and his career pre-dated the chart. So, 50 or 60 years late he finally features on a UK chart hit.

A bunch of 60's veterans return with their latest singles, Cliff Richard, Tina Turner & Cher with her version of Love Hurts, a hit already for Nazereth and Jim Capaldi, Enya returns, Kym Sims debuts with Too Blind To See It, a goodie, and Frank Ifield bizarrely yodels onto the remix bandwagon and my childhood fave unexpectedly gets a chart debut almost 30 years after I was big on The Wayward Wind and I Remember You and his yodelling songs as a little kiddie. Simon & Garfunkel bung out an album track from 1968, Shaky bungs out an inferior attempt at another Xmas hit, and Pet Shop Boys debut at a mere 70 hot on the heels of their first-ever non-top-10 single, DJ Culture, with Was It Worth It? Neither of them show Chris & Neil at their best.
