As usual my weekending chart is really the one after the w/b chart sunday rundown so apologies for the new year vibes to this - but you can see the re-entry of The Fly corresponds to the UK singles chart, even if my new entries are post-xmas not-yet-charted radio played tracks. 


5th january 1992



It's a new year, and a review of the year I've never revisited in any shape or form, including never playing all those tapes and VHS videos I recorded, so there'll be a lot of "no don't remember that one" and many of them I wont have heard for 30 years. So we start of 1992 with a classic 60's song entering at 1 - no apologies, The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore is the greatest version of a Four Seasons song, bar none, and The Walker Brothers widescreen, emotional production has the epic Scott Walker's vocals at the centre. I have always loved this song, but from the 90's on it developed into adoration as I became convinced it was, and is, one of the greatest records of all-time, and a song I turn to when I need to get some stress emotion out of my system. I cry buckets if I singalong to it.



Back in the '92 scene Wet Wet Wet make my top 10 with a bound, Goodnight Girl becoming only the 3rd single to do that since their debut great Wishing I Was Lucky, though I would say it hasn't aged as well as I thought it might. New at 10, The Beautiful South get a 2nd top 10 with Ol' Red Eyes Is Back, not one of their biggest hits in the UK charts, but it follows A Little Time into my top 10. At 14, Marc Almond follows-up Scott Walker's Jacky with the wonderful My Hand Over My Heart, which was criminally just a minor hit, when the record is heartbreaking and touching in the tradition of Scott Walker. Bit of a theme going on! Marc's 11th year of charting, since Tainted Love topped my charts.



Donna Summer returns with another Magic song I don't recall, so that's malcolm McLaren and Work That Magic. I must play them! Enigma have a 3rd entry with Principles Of Lust, ABC Say It for a decade of charting, Snap! have Colour Of Love, Danii Minogue is back with a track I recall hazily, Mariah Carey Can't Let Go, and I haven't heard that in decades, Bonnie Tyler recharts her 1985 smash Holding Out For A Hero, Shaft revamps the kids TV show theme to Roobarb & Custard for a dance entry, and Michael Jackson gets an early debut for album track Heal The World, by virtue of being listed on my playlist for that week - album tracks were still banned by my chart rules, but it would have been top 10 easily if I was.
