That's 4 weeks at #1 for the Smiths now. 4 entries from the UK top 40, Bryan Adams is in the US top 30 this week.

A few years ago the Detroit Spinners were having big hits with cover versions. Now one of their own songs gets covered for a new entry by David Grant and Jacqui Graham. David Grant was most famous for his hits with Linx but did have a solo single "Stop And Go" in 1983.
